Today is my #birthday 🙌🏾 Black Man ft Stige preSave in my bio 🙏🏾
Black Man is an open letter to black men from a black man. This song really pulls from the several experiences I’ve seen from the most influential black men in my life- as well as my own.

Dear Black man, I hope this finds you well.

Special thanks to @callmestige @picasseaux.mov @benjaminbeignet @daniraevaughn @coolkidmy @chief.exec Phil @rossnewbs and @doctormillice and @thecratefulhead

Song coming July 21st music video soon after 🙏🏾 #upliftblackmen #blackman #blackmen #upliftblackvoices taken in Los Angeles, California by @iammattrose

I am beyond excited to announce my next full length album, “Matte Black”. This project is a deeply personal and community-driven effort to shed light on the Black American experience through my journey - and the experiences of my friends and family.

As the last son of a poor Black family, I’ve had to fight for everything I owned since the day I was born. And that fight continues with this album. Five years ago, I lost a contract with Sony because my manager at the time was trying to take advantage of my talent. It’s a story we’ve all heard before - another VERY privileged white man trying to exploit Black talent for his own gain.

But with the support of my brother Demion, I kept going. As I witnessed the socioeconomic gaps present in Los Angeles, the tech industry, and across America, I felt compelled to contribute.

“Matte Black” is a collection of stories that speaks to different perspectives of our community - from generational trauma and self-love to police violence and white privilege. I’ve worked tirelessly with a team of talented Black artists, producers, and songwriters,to bring these stories to life.

This album was made with love, featuring only Black voices while also making space for allies to contribute their talents. I’m proud of what we’ve created, and I’m humbled by the opportunity to share it with y’all. We’ll be releasing it ONE song at a time.

Let me be clear - this journey is not just about me. It’s about the Black community and the severe and complex issues we face every day. I’m honored to use my art as a vehicle for change.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s continue to uplift and elevate Black voices. The first song + story drops soon — stay tuned. #MatteBlack #BlackExperience #upliftblackvoices

Is an AI to IRL production model a thing? Yes.

Here are 5 ways we use tech to elevate us (not replace us) including:

-AI pitch materials
-Photorealistic 3D renders
-XR tech (why should your brands dreams be limited by budget)

Tip: Spend some time thinking on the ways that new tech can work for you and your clients.

Cuz face it, we really want to be spending more time celebrating wins and less time writing bad prompts.

Even though AI is fully here, we need humans and it takes a village. We love ours 🫶🏽
