Elisha Lauren Lifestyle Salon – Photo Shoot
1360 days
I recently moved to the United Kingdom and am currently living with my family while I rebuild a whole new life from the ground up again. The move out here was probably one of the biggest decisions I have made in my life and I was honestly scared to death but I just took the leap of faith. In the few months I have been in the UK I have been really busy with web design, graphic design and video production work for my cousin, Elisha Lauren Eaton, whom owns Elisha Lauren Life Style Salon in Cross Gates Leeds.
A few months back Elisha had the idea to put together a project to help different people with different skill sets come together and network in a real world working environment. This was a major opportunity not only for myself but for all the models, makeup artists, photographers, nail technician, staff at the salon and assistants to get their hands dirty and work hard towards a common goal.
On the 25th of April 2012, Elisha Lauren Lifestyle Salon held a major photo shoot consisting of 8 models, 2 makeup artists, 2 photographers, myself, the staff and a nail technician. The results of the photos are amazing and I am so pleased to be involved in this project not only has it helped me adjust into a new life by meeting new people but I came in with knowing what I know so well and being able to contribute in a highly positive way. I have been truly inspired by everyone’s hard work, willingness to work with perfect strangers and do it so well and just staying patience and getting the 13 hour photos shoot completed. Well done to each and everyone of you that was involved.
Here are the results of the photos, the blog write up that will be featured in Urban Coco Magazine and a great video that highlights the day in just under 4 minutes. The music in the video was produced by myself (Darkside Productionz). Check it out and enjoy:

I am pleased to present to you a Myndframe Ent and Darkside Productionz film with some of Hip-Hop’s most creative and innovate emcee’s. The song Emerald City was produced by DJ Gabe Real. Keeping it grimmey and gritty and always holding out down for the Inland Empire, Magnificent Ruffians and 5 O’clock come together to bring you a great project, Wizards of CA. The video was sponsored by Canvas Barber Shop In my eyes, this is some real out side of the box thinking. I am proud to be apart of this project. And as a side note… you guys got some b@lls for smashing the Tyler Mall like that…. Good times. Enjoy the video and please share, share, share!
Emerald City Official Music Video
The Story!
The Magnificent Ruffians are back at it again with there first character album entitled, Wizards of CA. This time they collab with an artistic, abstract emcee by the name of Five O’ Clock. The characters are as follows, Specific as the Tin Man, Master Chief as the Cowardly Lion and Five O’ Clock as the Scarecrow. The original movie Wizard of OZ is a very significant movie because it was the first to be shown in color instead of black and white. It also has a lot of hidden messages, ideals and morals that each character brings to the table. Red ruby slippers, wicked witches, emerald city… These are all iconic themes that the original movie has became famous for. On this project, the Magnificent Ruffians and Five O’ Clock have tried to incorporate the movie into each song. They basically took a classic movie and flipped it into a raw hip-hop album. This project is unlike any one they have ever done before. It’s not for everyone but it is for anyone. Enjoy!
