Shad - Keep Shining

Artist: Shad (http://www.shadk.com)
Title: Keep Shining
Album: TSOL (2010 Black Box / Decon)

Director: Sarah Michelle Brown

Note from the Director:
To me, the "Keep Shining" video is an ode to the strong and often under-appreciated spirits of women. This video was designed as a candid and thought/emotion-provoking concept. My goals were to create a candid and uplifting experience that featured a wide diversity of women and girls and to also unearth what I felt lay beneath the lyrics: A call to claim one's voice. Early on, I realized a key to this concept: Shad barely appears in the video. The ladies own the lyrics. For me, it's as if Shad is saying "take it, own it, your voice belongs to you." It was my intention to show strength, vulnerability, joy, catharsis and reclamation of the spirit of all those who appeared in these 3 minutes and 44 seconds. My hope is that it will speak to women, girls, men and boys and everything in between. Let's all "Keep Shining".

Alot of women in my life are my inspiration. I always get a smile on my face when im working out and this song comes up It makes me feel stronger and makes me want to work harder and I realise without my mom and the women in my life i wouldn't be me, so this song reminds me of what they have done for me and I just wanna give back and be succesfull and take care of my ma and sis. I'm currently training as a amatuer boxer and hope to be a world Champion someday. Thanks. :)

I love when he does this live and says "so few rapping" instead of "no girls rapping" in recognition of those women out there that ARE holding it down.
