Last week we launched one of the most meaningful films we’ve ever done for the music industry. But before we get into the deets, we gotta big up the team who launched Frequency: Spotify’s destination for total Black expression. Without this platform that was created to uplift Black creators, we wouldn’t have this film.
The #Frequency team came to us with the ask to launch their Ripple Effect playlist series. When we found out the first stop in this series was the DMV we knew we had to freak it.
Thus, we created “Sunday Dinner”. Sunday Dinner is a staple in the Black American household. The place where we can all commune over some good food, good music and a good time. Taking this notion, and applying it to music, we wanted to celebrate the local music of Maryland, DC, and Virginia, the icons, the culture, the food, and the regional nuances in an epic and profound way.
Led by our extraordinary host, and creator of the Ripple Effect playlist,
@djxdomo we facilitated a conversation with
@arilennox ,
@kingpush ,
@anwanglover , and
@riconasty over a locally sourced meal from #Blackownedrestaurants in DC.
Our Director
@dayday.studio set it all on fire with a treatment for 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 Gods 👏🏽. Paired with a Black af team who put their stank on it. With
@rchll__ on set design making it truly feel like grandma’s dining room down to the curtains, the frames and the tableware,
@ayindeandersin DP, and the entire
@byt.nyc crew who made it all come to life. Special shout to sound designer
@ohyungli who killed this custom score ✨wow✨
Thanks to all who touched this. Truly a dream team effort.
