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".

  • This is a call to Lauryn Hill: COME BACK AND SAVE HIP-HOP!!!

  • Greetings from Sweden!

  • Fight Night Champion brought me here. I had to play a video game to hear good hip hop once again. This dude should be on the radio waves instead of XBOX and PS3. This dude is better than 90 person of the rappers out today.
