So close to having nothing ever again in life....
Read MoreReturn of Acapella
Last year Acapella decided to take a step back from performing and focus more on further developing his craft. In doing so he pushes his abilities pass what they were capable of before. By taking time away from the stage, Acapella has been able to focus more on the music aspect of performing.
Unlike many "artist" in Detroit Acapella separates himself from the rest. He isn't in the category of being a rapper, but more of an hip-hop artist. The music he produces isn't just one note. Much of his music are pieces of his inner being. He brings you into his world, more about fact rather than fiction. What really separate him even more in his music is the layers puts into his music.
This year when he returned to the stage, he really thought about his performance and how it will flow. Instead of just performing song after song under a set time limit, he changed it up this time. He performed as he's giving a show. He gave snippets of his best songs with a verse and chorus then flows right into next, only to finish with most recent single "U've Changed". With all the hard work Acapella puts into his work and craft, I can see him making waves in the city and other states. The main obstacle that he must cross is the un-supportiveness that this city shows to those who produce quality music with those who produce below average music.

U've Changed
Since the beginning of the year, I have been working with Tristan a.k.a Acapella on his newest project One Shot Kill (O.S.K.). Before the new year we did a few promotional shots to promote the album. Few weeks ago we shot some of the first footage for his first video of the year "U've Changed". Concept is kept under wraps for right now, but the locale used was with out neighbors across the river. The first day we got plenty of footage, but later that night is where everything fell apart. Due to the below freezing temperatures, the footage looks rushed. It was good but the performance of everything was not what we was looking for, so this Friday we are heading back over so re-shoot everything as far as the performance and to add more b-reel footage.
In the meantime take a listen to Acapella's new single "U've Changed" down below.
***Update 2/8/15***
Today, I decided to release the video for "U've Changed" on to my personal Youtube page. Even though there was a lot of trial and errors in the making of this. It was the final decision to scrape this whole project and re-shoot at at later date to make sure everything was clean and polished. I can easily understand as an perfectionist to a lot of project I have taken on in the past. When things aren't going right it's best to start again from the very beginning. So be looking forward for a better version in the months to come.
Today is Acapella's Birthday as well.
