Call For Submission: THE YYY T-SHIRT JAM A RAMA
From the YYYs:
Hey Folks, all us YYYs have been avid collectors of t-shirts over the years, what can we say, WE LIKEY A GOOD T-SHIRT. In our travels many of you have chucked a homemade YYY tee on the stage or what not and all the shirts have always been unique and poured over with loooooove. So it got us thinking: how about giving you the fans a crack at coming up with a fresh new blitzin' YYY T-shirt design! It's a natural fact that YYYs have amongst YOU a whole heap of ART STARS! So school's out for the summer and we want you to spend a hot lazy afternoon throwing something together for us YYYs to REPRESENT! And I got a hunch you're gonna bring it! And if you do we'll bring back a little something in return…!! Luv, YYYs

Junk Science "Fire Drill"
Junk Science - Fire Drill from 2dopeboyz.com on Vimeo.
Look at that. Creative guru and funny man Andrew Gura throwing up another music video for zero budget. He says, "when you're shooting the video in the artist's house, how can it not be a good time?" So looks like this director will work, for fun.
Someday I'll launch my rap career. And I'll have Andrew shoot my videos. I can see it all now: Andrew trailing behind me in Westminster while I eat banh mi, riding my sting-ray. We're going to blow it up big. Saigon soldier style.
