When I first met Wordsmith back in May of 2007 he had a song on his Myspace profile called “Ode to the Pioneers” which was like a prelude to “As the Art Fades Away”. The song paid homage to – well – the pioneers of hip-hop greats like Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC, etc. From that point on Word had my ear and we’ve worked together collaborating our brands such as him being featured in our catalogs and lookbooks to us helping keep our customers in the know about his music to some of our clothing even being seen in his music videos.

“As the Art Fades Away” is one of my favorite Wordsmith songs off of his debut album that you need to go out and pick-up right now!! Vintage Experience is the album and its available on iTunes and Amazon so go get it and support!! With the radio being so overly saturated in weak artists (and I use that term ‘artists’ loosely) its refreshing to hear something like this break. No doubt you have a hit on your hands Word! And thank you for all the looks in the video too!

Big shout out to our very own Trey P who helped write the video script and scout the locations for the video! This is his first work on a music video and I thought he did an excellent job with it. Whattup Trey!
