Frank The Butcher & Statik Selektah have joined forces on “Concepts: Selektions”. This mixtape is inspired by seminal classic 90′s mixtapes like DJ Doo Wop’s “Live 95″ & Tony Touch’s “50 MCs”. Frank The Butcher worked with Statik on “selecting” some of his most classic beats and revisiting them with new emcees and new lyrics. The tape features veterans like DJ Doo Wop, Dj Clark Kent, Freeway, and Consequence– underground favorites like Detroit’s Black Milk and La Coka Nostra’s Ill Bill– while also featuring lyricists like Curt@!n$, Willie The Kid, Termanology and Ro Spit — and more– all featured over Statik Selektah production.
Chace Infinite of Self Scientific / Soul Assassins is the first song to be release. The video was directed by Frank The Butcher and filmed in the L.E.S.N.Y.C. at the Prohibit Boutique on Allen street.
Frank The Butcher & Statik Selektah Present “Concepts: Selektions” Mixtape will be released in January and features 26 tracks.

I directed a few skits for Karmaloop TV today that featured the rapper Redman. It was inspired by ESPN Sportcenter commercials with Red working various positions around the office. Hill. Larious.
This skit is my favorite— can’t wait for ya’ll to see it.
In my office – Funk Doc was interested in my figures–
Last scene of the day— Redman called to the boss’s office.
One of my favs! Funk Doctor!
New album “Reggie” out now.
This project was an amazing experience to work on. Most times I visit the company I’m working with to begin conversations on our project together and to lay the foundation for design. I usually get the bulk of the work done from my office. This one was a bit different.
I flew out to Toronto to design this vest but the difference was actually walking the manufacturing floor of Canada Goose. Being able to see the raw material, the process and finished product was a great perspective to gain before delving into the design process on these vests. Learning the history of the company and understanding the purpose of their product was important to me. Canada Goose jackets, when used for their original intent, will save a life. The product they develop help professionals who work in extreme climates survive.
What is more important than that?
Granted my interpretation of this Alberta Vest was through the lens of fashion but it was built on function. Function to me is an important place to start— design that serves a purpose– and Canada Goose has mastered that.
I want to thank Dani, Kevin and Spencer at CG for their patience and support. I hope you dig the final product.
Also would like to thank Harris, Paul Mighty and Nick Cangello for the support on the project. It’s always a team effort.
This is the video piece I directed for the vest release— Paul Mighty is the model in the video and also produced the music used with Dj Manipulator under their production group name Boxcutters. TBB Music will be releasing Dj Manipulator’s “Live From The Badlands” in the next few weeks.
A couple weeks ago I ran out to NYC with my crew and directed a couple music videos for an upcoming Butcher’s Block music project. First to be released will be my good friend’s Chace Infinite’s video. Here is a couple shots from the shoot.

Chace is a madman. #ThatIsAll 
Nick Cangello is a film maker that joined the team recently. He basically listens to me rant and figures out how to capture it correctly (I say correctly because I am a little guerrilla with it). Amazing creative and addition to TBB. Welcome to the team!
Paul Mighty is my co pilot and is in charge of all audio on our projects (and tons of creative input). Probably the most reliable person I know. Everything I’m involved with he is probably not too far away. Incredible talent.
Video coming soon!
