i dont know where most of this stuff ended up, but this was an edit mike and i shot for watch the throne. could tell you alot more about this time later.

what a gem! we met mac at sxsw a couple months before shooting this, and he was really the coolest ever. this was filmed after one of his shows and everyone was super chill. mac helped debut one of our most recognizable merch pieces with the illamerica USA hat. theres some rare cameos in this video if you watch closely.

while juggling the launch of a new company, various videos were also released through illroots that were directed and produced by payton arriaga, jack dalton and christian mealha. it was fun helping them out where i could. check out the full channel that this video is hosted on as there is a ton of great content from around this time.

lloyd banks is one of my all time favorites. this was a fun one. no budget!

provided some typography to this music video when i was 19.

through illroots, released a documentary my friend gabe filmed and edited with travis scott in japan. very rare footage!

this is just crazy. nicki said i look like bieber. mike carson is the absolute goat. shout out big sean for going so hard for a couple kids.

was hanging out with cudi around the indicud era and he was down to let illroots produce this spot for beck's beer.

Classic!

i really didn't contribute much to this video beyond location scouting at drake's yolo estate with gabe the night before we filmed this 😂 but i was there! fun times. was sick to see gabe and tyler pull this off.

running around atlanta with yung jake trying to pull this off was... memorable to say the least. mike will was hyping rae sremmurd to me at coachella a few weeks before this song blew up and for some reason he wanted me to direct the video. jake had this amazing idea of a literal "flex zone" so we tried our best to make it happen.

another example of mac miller being great to work with. also was rocking with tony esquivel heavy on the vfx at this time.

Ahh, 2015. Good times.

the rarest MW vision you've ever seen. we ran out of time/budget so no vfx but there was supposed to be some gooey orbs floating above the band.
