Will Smith To Star in ‘Focus’ (Trailer)

“There’s two kinds of people in this world. There’re hammers and nails… You decide which one you wanna be.”

Will Smith is a box office beast! Looks like he’s got another smash showing you why? This “Focus” takes the big-risk-big-rewards-big-fails paradigm and ramps it up to 10. Delicious-looking eye candy / rookie con-artist trying to run Big Willie Style with (or over?) the crew.

Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As he’s teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop…and the consummate con man off his game.

Heaven Can Wait: The Story Behind The Wall (Mini-Documentary)

“…the situation in Chicago…the war going on in the streets with these kids…these children are too young…haven’t lived for their maximum potential yet…[to] society and the world…their energy, their leadership…Heaven can wait for these kids…They haven’t had the opportunity to live…”

Kevin “Mr. Soul” Harp

Great story-behind-the-story (visually delivered by w. Feagins Jr.; music by the homie Focus…) exploring the meaning and motivation behind the “Heaven Can Wait” mural. Artwork by Atlanta-based artists Craig “Flux” Singleton, Kevin “Mr. Soul” Harp and Goldi Gold. Moving piece.

People, watch this piece. A worthwhile holiday wish: Peace and a cease to the violence and loss of life and vital youth energy going on in Chi Raq (an unfortunate nickname for modern Chicago, for more see our earlier post here). And in this holiday season (and seasons beyond), please hug your loved ones (esp. the kids) extra tight.

Tez McClain feat. Scarface – “Showtime” (Prod. By Focus…)

tez-showtime-1My homie Tez McClain gave me the honor to debut this collaboration with Scarface called “Showtime” a number of months ago on The Beatz & Lyrics Show with Jayforce. We didn’t get the go ahead at the time to post the song up on this site until everything behind-the-scenes was cleared properly, but now the day has come where we can let the world hear this banger drop free.  When you have “Tez McClain”, “Scarface” & “Focus…” supplying the production you just know it was going to be nothing short of greatness. Be on the lookout for the southside Atlanta representer’s next project “Free Lunch: My Last Tape” in the very near future.  Now press play…. it’s Showtime!
