On one hot Sunday I had the pleasure of working on set of a music video for a track called "Lucid" featuring Moka Only and Edge by local producer Hayden Baptiste. The track is from Hayden’s debut compilation album "Revelationz I (Revelationz One)" and features mostly US emcees (Planet Asia, Chuck D, Nyoil, Donny Goines, Jasiri X etc). Hayden was also on set providing everything from the playback of the track during takes to stocking up on granola bars, water, and sandwiches to keep us all happy and hydrated....

This was my first attempt at being a music video girl. The day was long, as most days on set are, but I definitely had some fun in between takes with the ever talented choreographer Heather L. Gray, who was also the video coordinator for the day. OTI’s Stu and Marc were also on set to provide some welcome comic relief on what would have been an otherwise unbearably hot day.

The shoot took place inside Hennessey Lounge and was to be part of a dream sequence. It was a little difficult to understand the whole concept of the video since we only had a short scene to shoot and I had only heard parts of the song. I guess I’ll just have to wait like everyone else when the song and video is released to find out the story!

Hayden is currently working on an album with local mc Edge and will be promoting his own album in Japan due out this fall. Hayden’s producer name is REL!G!ON and has been making beats since he was 17. He recently had the opportunity to produce a track for Nyoil aka Kool Kim from Staten Island hip hop group The UMC's and west Coast legend Paris. Hayden is the resident dj at The New Bohemian at 3162 W Broadway every Friday and Sunday.
