4'11 Chase Adams | Top Chicago 7th Grader | Official Ballislife Mixtape.
When asked about his size, Chase Adams said "the height stuff doesn't mean anything."
Chase Adams (12 years old in the video) had as big a 7th grade season at Chicago's Ariel Elementary Community Academy (Public school) as any player in the city.
As a 7th grader, Adams led Ariel's 8th grade team (not previously known for its basketball team) to a 56-3 record in Chicago's Public League alongside fellow star Marquise "Kezo" Brown. No stats were kept at Ariel, but Chase seemed close to a double double (points/assists) whenever we were watching. Now, as an 8th grader, Adams and Brown will be looking to win the City 8th grade Championship.
Currently 5 feet tall (at the start of 8th grade), weighing about 100 pounds, Adams is the quickest guard in Chicago and is widely considered one of the nation's top players in the Class of 2018. Some young players might be surprised to learn Chase's all-time favorite player is Bob Cousy (Boston Celtics 1950-63). Also, modeling his game after his favorite current point guards Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo, Adams is poised for success. Not only does Adams model his game after the NBA's top young PG's, he draws inspiration from the way they continue to prove their doubters wrong.
Here are some Chase Adams basketball highlights from Chicago public school Ariel Elementary Community Academy's 2012-2013 season as well as from the Mac Irvin Fire 13U AAU team. Thanks to the players and coaches at Ariel and with the Mac Irvin Fire!

Anacron | Unfamous Mindframe | ft. DJ Daze Uno (Prod. by Diles)
http://AnacronMusic.com
"Unfamous Mindframe" Official Music Video
Art and Direction by Christophe Roberts http://christopheroberts.com
Filming and Cinematography by Zubaer Khan http://zubaerkhan.com
Editing and erratic hand motions by Anacron
It's been far too long since I've delivered an official visual for you AnaManiacs. With several forthcoming music video productions halted in mid-production, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As they say, "if you want something done right, do it yourself."
On a recent trip to to the East Coast, my team made magic happen within a few free hours of a busy schedule. My NYC-based PNTGLLRYNTWRK crew members and good friends and I rallied an idea to create a visual for my latest collaboration with Daze and Diles; as it thoroughly identifies all of our artistic hustles.
Christophe Roberts (aka Perv One) is a known visual artist and sculptor, who's work can be seen all over New York and in magazines. Zubaer Khan (aka DJZu) is a seasoned cinematographer & editor that's flexed his skill for everyone from Revolt TV to CBS, and has worked on a few of my previous projects. The Brazilian homie Mauricio Tadashi (aka ChiliBreakz), the owner of the Original US merchandising and accessories company, showed up for support and good vibes. If you're up on your Peanut Gallery crew history, then you should be familiar with all of these brothas.
The result of our combined efforts is a simple, yet masterful piece. Filmed on location in Brooklyn, NY; the imagery is reminiscent of the basic freshness of early 90's styling and visuals. After watching this PNTGLLRYNTWRK family production, you'll understand the lyric, "...new Peanut Gallery / So Golden Era."
Thanks for watching... Comment, share, and ENJOY.
"Unfamous Mindframe"
Written and performed by Anacron for Manoemusicc

You know how I do. It's been about a month, so it's about that time to hit you with something new. Although, with all the saxophoning, singing, and instrumentation I've been doing lately; I thought it'd be best to let the next public heater be a good old-fashioned boom-bap beats and raps cut for my core fan-base -- the true blue underground hip hop heads.
Enter: "Unfamous Mindframe." You've seen it on events, you've heard it on records, you've even seen the logo on merchandise. On this, my second collaboration with ABQ-based producer Diles, I decided to take some time to explain what exactly "UNFAMOUS" means. For those that haven't gotten it up until now, this is the song that will open your eyes, ears, and mind to the UNFAMOUS movement, and why you should be involved.
In addition to all the goodness in it, what pure rap song is complete without a visit from my favorite DJ, The OG Daze Uno? Press play and turn the speakers up, this one's going to knoc your socs off.

The RZA | RIP Paul Walker Dedication | Destiny Bends (DEMO) (ft. Will Wells)
This song, entitled "Destiny Bends" was written last night after hearing the tragic news of the loss of a good man named Paul Walker. I met Paul on the set of the film Brick Mansion, where we talked, laughed, and exchanged ideas of life and fatherhood. I only knew him personally for less than a year, but we knew each other through our work and art. We saw in each other a kindred spirit of men coming from unlikely circumstances, and rising to be the light and beacon of our family and loved ones. Men who learned the joy and pains of love in life, and success, while coming to realize that nothing is more important than family, friendship, and the brotherhood of humanity. Millions of people get to know an artist or movie star through their work, but few are allowed to cross each others' paths and see through the veil of stardom and find the common denominator that we share. As all physical things will decay and wither away, film, art, and music remain longer than the vessel that delivered them. In this vein, the one thing we can't take away or give back is time. So, thus, time is the most precious gift. I dedicated my time to compose this song with my two sons and new friend Will Wells, who was kind enough to sing and perform it for me. We dedicate it to Paul Walker. A good man. We had plans to continue working with each other in the future. It seemed destined, but "destiny bends".

Gran Turismo 6 | First Love (HD)
Your Legacy Begins on 12.06.13
Every driver starts somewhere. Every driver starts with their first car ¬ their First Love.
All great racers started their journey to greatness with their first car. The car that made them realize their dream of becoming a professional race car driver. You ask any driver or car enthusiasts about their First Love, and I'm sure they can remember the smallest detail, down to the long hours spent tuning the car up before a drive, or the thousands of hard earned dollars spent in making it just a bit (or a lot) faster than what factory delivered. I'm sure each of you have your own story of a First Love, and we want to hear about it.

Baby Alpaca | Wild Child | Official Video
Here's the new video for "Wild Child" from Baby Alpaca. Read on for a statement from the artist, and an interview:
A few years ago I spent a week in the Sahara desert. Being only with the sand and sky gave me a clarity that I'd never experienced before. In conceptualizing the video for "Wild Child," I found surrealism was the best way to emulate the feeling that I had in the Sahara. The video has been a collaboration and project of love with friends and fellow artists: Brian Leckrone and Adrian Stucker executed the shoot on the outskirts of Palm Springs, while artist and special effects genius Aaron Maurer handled all the post-production magic.
We'd like to thank everyone that helped us—especially the man in the parking lot that let us drive his Plymouth, The Row for making fit-for-the-desert leather pants, and John Varvatos for creating Converse sneakers that can walk the dunes for miles.

Although it once played through the sound systems of Mexico City, nowhere else was cumbia received with as much passion as in Monterrey. There are several theories about how this city in the north of Mexico, thousands of kilometers away form Valledupar, became a stronghold of Colombian cumbia. The most accepted is that local sound systems, known as sonideros, started bringing records from Mexico City and Houston for their parties, particularly in the working-class neighborhoods of Campana and Independencia.
After a couple decades, cumbia in Monterrey evolved and found its own identity. In addition to the sonideros, bands appeared, first playing covers of classic songs, and later songs of their own, with Celso Piña being the most representative figure of this movement. At the same time, Colombians from Monterrey who listened to this music started developing their own fashions, a very particular way of dressing, dancing, and wearing their hair in a style that is neither Colombian or northern Mexican.
In company of Satanás (Satan), a local promoter and concert photographer, we went dancing to the Fe Music Hall, where we saw the Cumbiamberos RS in a face-off with other local bands. We went to a neighborhood party in the Amilpa neighborhood, we visited Rafael Dueñes (one of the first sonideros from Monterrey, who by mistake invented slowed down cumbias) in Independencia, and we talked with Toy Selectah, who, after Control Machete, has innovated, mixed, remixed and reinvented cumbia. Just as Celso Piña says, "We brought cumbia from Colombia to Monterrey, and from Monterrey to the world".
Cumbia has changed. The local scene has diminished in recent years because of the narco related violence that has hit the city, and the army and police cut the sideburns of many Colombians. Still, the party goes on, and these guys continue to dance and dance in circles to the rhythm of guaracha.
