The Good Life

June 9, 2012

Hip-hop artist, Trip Lee, finished his Good Life tour in Dallas, TX on June 1st to a crowd of over 1000.  As the tour finale, Trip was joined with Collision Records artist, Swoope, along with fellow Reach Records artists, V-Rose, Jai, Andy Mineo, Alex Medina, KB, Tedashii, and Lecrae.  A special appearance was made by Tedashii’s son, after he ‘accidentally’ rapped Go Hard (one of his father’s tracks) over the speakers during Andy Mineo’s set.  To say the least, this show did not disappoint.  This was the perfect ending for a tour celebrating Trip’s latest album, The Good Life.

Tedashii Blacklight

June 24, 2011

It’s been a couple years since I’ve shot a concert.  It’s been even longer since I’ve been to a show from anyone in the 116 Clique.  When I got back from Ethiopia, I found out that Tedashii was playing in Ft. Worth and thought that I’d try out some concert photography.  Can I just tell you how much has changed in the past few years, both in the 116 and in my photography?   It was awesome to see Lecrae and Tedashii again since the old days of them driving in a van that random catches on fire.  But more than that, it’s cool to see them working with younger rappers like JPaul, Pro and KB as well as collaborating outside of their genre with guys like Shane B and Shane E.  All that to say that I’m really looking forward to shooting more musicians/concerts.
