14 years ago I came to Los Angeles chasing a dream. Today I feel grateful and humbled to have directed a piece alongside @dsmoke7 and the @nfl , two forces rooted in purpose, excellence, and authenticity. Thank you to D Smoke for the trust and to an organization like the NFL for the opportunity to help tell a story about the city that shaped so many of us. None of this happens without the team.

. D Smoke and Lucky Daye - Frequency Directed by D Smoke & Yoshi Tabata D Smoke and Lucky Daye rise into the stratosphere with “Frequency,” a cinematic exploration of energy, faith, and inner alignment. Co-directed by D Smoke & Yoshi Tabata, the visual blends surreal imagery, spiritual poise, and West Coast soul, translating consciousness into motion. Bathed in warm light and elevated textures, Frequency feels like ascension - an out-of-body dialogue between melody and meditation. D Smoke’s lyrical craftsmanship collides with Lucky Daye’s ethereal harmonies, creating a soundscape that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Quotable Lyrics:
“Elevate elevate ‘til it’s freezing below 2 degrees centigrade,
Elevate elevate to sky then try to reintegrate,
Watch the company you keep and keep your health,
When you look at all your friends just know you lookin’ at yourself, We drank to ease the pain and roll up dank ponder,
But that shit don’t make you the man Shaneyney Lawonda.” A reminder to rise with grace, guard your energy, and maintain your higher frequency. #DSmoke #LuckyDaye #Frequency #HigherVibrations #SoulMusic #California #CinematicVisuals #WestCoastSoul #RNB #LyricalArt #PoeticVision #RockLanOne
