Model Mondays Feature: Jenafer Lynn Williams

Aight, we're back again for yet another Model Mondays here at The Movement Fam.com. This week, we're meeting y'all sorta somewhere in the middle. This young lady, who goes by the name of Jenafer Lynn Williams, is a US native who now resides in Australia. Boom. Hustler. Good to see the Yanks heading down our way to work instead of the other way around. She's been doing her thang out here for a minute, so check the flicks and read what she has to say...

Cee: Whatʼs your name?
Jena: Jenafer Lynn Williams, aka Jena.

Cee: Where are you from?
Jena: New Bern, NC, USA.

Cee: How many years have you been modeling?
Jena: Two years.

Cee: What are the misconceptions people commonly have about models that are untrue?
Jena: I think most of them are true, about drugs, eating disorders, but they work very hard, REALLY! Try sitting through 2-3 hours of make-up (someone pulling your hair, sticking things in your eyes) then posing for 2-8 hours for a photographer who is never happy.

Cee: What shows, videos, magazines, etc. have you been featured in?
Jena: Australian Yoga Life Mag, Yoga Journal Mag, The Source Mag, Blender Mag and Cleo Mag. I am a reoccuring model for Wages Lingerie and Jeans Co, Clinton Charlie Jeans, and VelvetAttic clothes.

Cee: What photographers have you worked with?
Jena: No one mentionable. They have all been great, but up and coming, no extremely famous photographers.

Cee: What photographers would you like to work with?
Jena: Johannes Felten and Victoria's Secret photographers.

Cee: Can you describe the grind of a model trying to break into the industry?
Jena: Working a lot of trade for print jobs until you get that great shot or someone randomly sees your work. It's really not that hard. If a company or photographer likes your look, whether you are 50kg or 300kg, whether you fit the norm of models, if they see something they like about you then they can photoshop like it's hot! LOL.

Cee: Any words for the ladies out there that have aspirations of entering the modeling industry?
Jena: As I said, anyone can be a model, don't change your looks to become a size 0 model or something that you are not.

Cee: What's your plans from here?
Jena: I wouldn't have the slightest clue, I didn't imagine a year ago that I would be approached to do Yoga modeling, and less than 6 months later to move to a reoccurring lingerie model.

Infinite Archetype (Iyea) Beats

Aight, so y'all would have heard of Iyea by now. The Movement Fam representative is a Scotland native, Perth resident, he has produced 'Gone' from Cee & Bekah's 'The Soul Movement Volume 2', as well a couple fresh joints from 'The Soul Movement Volume 3', and will most definitely be appearing on the albums and future projects from the whole Fam.

Iyea's style could best be described as Hip Hop Soul, a slick blend of early Kanye, with Primo and Pete Rock thrown in for good measure. There's even a touch of Just Blaze if you listen carefully.

Check out some of Iyea's work and fresh beats on the Infinite Archetype MySpace page. Holla!

Little Brother and 9th Wonder Downloads

Aight, so I gotta say this off the bat - we ain't perpetuating free downloads here. This stuff was just sent to me by some of my, ahem, sources.

We got a full list of links to download the entire discographies of Little Brother and 9th Wonder. Click on the words or the images below. Have fun.

Cee & Bekah Get Inked Up

We is well 'ard, innit?

So Bekah and I headed down to Eternal Instinct tattoo studio in Northcote this weekend for the second time around, to see the lovely Tam and get inked the hell on up.

Peep Bekah getting laced with 'I Got Yours' on her back in script, representing 'I got your back' to her peeps. Love it. Looks so fresh, and such a dope idea!

And I got two big bastards on the inside of my arm, which didn't hurt a bit ;). On my right, 'The Movement Fam' logo (designed by KidEight, interpreted by Tam for the tatt), representing the whole extended Movement Fam. Having it on my arm (or bicep/tricep in particular) is a symbol of strength, that both I give to the crew and they give to me. On my left, the quote 'All I Need Is The Love Of My Crew', from our song 'My Crew'. The Fam is for life, so is the ink.

So big ups to Tam, we're SO pleased with her work. If anyone in Melbourne is after a tattoo, or anyone from overseas is coming to visit and wants some ink (Pink personally goes to Eternal Instinct each time she's here), hit me up for the details. And much love to Nosh and VP who held us down the whole weekend! Gaytime Krushes!

Arte Y Lenguaje - Escalando Posiciones

The homie Arte Y Lenguaje, hailing from Bogota, Colombia, has just released his third studio album, Escalando Posiciones ('Scaling Positions'), on February 21st this year.

The album features two collaborations with Cee & Bekah - 'Violencia Estado Militante' ('Militant State Violence') and 'Drogadiccion' ('Drug Addiction'). Most of the head-nodding, underground Hip Hop tracks have a political theme, reflecting Arte Y Lenguaje's experiences in the often turbulent social state of Colombia.

And we might as well announce this now - Arte Y Lenguaje has teamed up with Cee & Bekah to form an international Hip Hop/Soul/Latin group, Soul de la Tierra. We've recently started work on the as yet untitled album, and it's sounding fresh so far. This is a very unique project, as Ehiyel (Arte Y Lenguaje) speaks zero English, so it's up to me to harness my limited Spanish skills (alongside online translation services) to make it work. We'll keep y'all posted.

Check out the video for the first single from the album, 'Homenaje':

Emilio Rojas - 585 (Roc Y'all) Remix

Such a sick track. Produced by M-Phazes, though I don't think this is from Emilio and Phaze's Phaze One album (which I got a sneak preview of in New York. Fuck me, it's incredible).

Emilio Rojas (Feat. Hassaan Mackey, Black Sinatra, L.I. & Nikal Fieldz) - 585 (Roc Y'all) Remix

The Movement Fam on The Hip Hop Chronicle UK

Big ups to the homies at The Hip Hop Chronicle UK blog. This is a big ass blog in the UK, and they did a lil feature on The Fam, posting links to the two singles off our recent mixtapes - Notion's 'Enter My World' (produced by Da-Phai, from World Domi-NoTiOn), and Cee & Bekah's 'Anything For You' (produced by Whisper, from The Soul Movement Volume 2). Respect.

Kanye West - The Lost Songs

Aight, so once again the homie Kev done had that heat. I had to re-post this, shit is dope.

Artutabr and dani_46 (no idea who they are) put together this wicked compilation of lesser known Kanye tracks. Kev recently put up a bunch of DOPE Kanye compilations and even he was blown away by this one. The boys even got Fred Hart, who did some crazy artwork for the 808's & Heartbreak single covers, to do their artwork. Amazing.

More Fight Klub - Serius Jones vs Big Ace

I found more old footage of Serius Jones on the tube. He and Big Ace go at it bar for bar. When it comes to freestyling, Serius is one of the best, period.

8-bit Hip Hop Medley

Ever wondered what Hip Hop would have sounded like if it were used as the soundtrack to a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) video game?

Me neither, but damn this is cool! Basically what some of Jay-Z, Kanye, T.I. and some other rappers beats would have sounded like on a video game in the 80's. Classic.

Now I'm waiting on some new-school rapper to flip the script (did I really just use that term?) and start sampling some old-school video game music.

It's not like it hasn't been done before.

There's Benefit's joint Warp To World 6-9 which uses the classic Super Mario Bros. sample.

Smif-n-Wessun (then Cocoa Brovaz) also flipped the Mario sample for Super Brooklyn. Ill shit.

Sampling Mario Bros. is almost too easy though. How about Extended F@mm's Line Drop, where they borrow the famous Tetris music and use it to great effect on the concept track. In the game, the music speeds up after dropping (and clearing) a number of lines. In the track, the beat/sample speeds up after each punchline dropped by the crew. Ridiculous.

Can I get a Jigga joint over some Metroid music?

How about a little Nas on a banging Ninja Gaiden (aka Shadow Warriors) beat?

Make it happen. Please.

Oh and if anyone is after MP3's of any of the tracks I linked, get at me via comments and I'll hook you up.

Josh Martinez Feat. Classified and Skratch Bastid - Going Back To Hali

Had to post this one. Even though Class only makes a small appearance, fans will appreciate. Most of us here at The Movement Fam are fans of Canada's Classified, so his cameo on this joint was something I was keen on peeping while waiting for his new album to drop.

I don't know much about the song itself, which really isn't that dope, so check the blurb below I ripped from another blog. Also, check out Classified's MySpace to hear his new single 'Anybody Listening?' off the album 'Self Explanatory' (which drops April 7th), which is actually fresh.

"My two favorite artists of early 2009 - Josh Martinez and Classified - just dropped their visual to the second single off Josh’s ultra-magnetic album The World Famous Sex Buffet. Featuring Skratch Bastid along for the ride, “Going Back To Hali” is a potent ode to their home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is somewhere in Canada where they probably smoke reeeally good. Either way, it’s nice to see artists lighten up and actually have fun in their music videos."

Model Mondays Feature: Ms. Innocence

Tiana better known as Ms. Innocence is an up incoming 23 yr old model from Springfield, MA. An exotic mix of African American, Columbian, and Native American (mother is African American and Columbian, father is Cherokee Indian), making men who love their thick chicks look twice. More than just a pretty face and a woman of many talents, Ms. Innocence has a degree in nursing as well as being a trained tattoo artist, helping co-start and run one of the top tattoo businesses in her area.

Even with her impressive background, she still decided to pursue a career in modeling. With 12 tattoos and counting, and a unique look and style, Ms. Innocence has graced Hip Hop websites and magazines such as www.heelznwheelz.com "Eye Candy of The Month", In Da Streetz Magazine, Chambermaids Magazine, and Thinking Big Productions "Eye Candy" for December.

Ms. Innocence has also made a name for herself in the alternative fashion/fetish modeling scene, modeling for such sites as Suicide Girls, Deviant Nation and will be a new face on www.BellaVendetta.com. Making her mark on the modeling scene, Ms. Innocence shows that even covered in tattoos you can still be sexy and successful in this industry.

DJ Grain: What’s your name?
Ms. Innocence: My name is Tiana, but everyone knows me as Innocence.

DJ Grain: Where are you from?
Ms. Innocence: Springfield, MA.

DJ Grain: How many years have you been modeling?
Ms. Innocence: I have been modeling for two years.

DJ Grain: What are the misconceptions people commonly have about models that are untrue?
Ms. Innocence: That we're a bunch of coked up video hoes who have no intelligence and just get by on our looks and sleeping around.

DJ Grain: What shows, videos, magazines, etc. have you been featured in?
Ms. Innocence: I've done a lil of everything, being featured on such websites as; *HeelznWheelz.com, *Thinkin Big Productions- Eye Candy of the Month. I've been working with Baby Bam from the Jungle Brothers on his new up incoming DVD, a follow up to "Bamboozled", as well as promotions for Maxim Lingerie, Conceited Clothing and Deviant Nation.

Ms. Innocence: I've worked with a lot of great photographers such as Peter Manic, ShredBoy Studios, JRCreative, SGHockett Photography, and Del Knight.

DJ Grain: What photographers would you like to work with?
Ms. Innocence: There's a few I would love the chance to work with and that's Ryan O'Nash, Frank Antonio, EMC photography, and Caliber Photography.

DJ Grain: Can you describe the grind of a model trying to break into the industry?
Ms. Innocence: The grind of a model never ends, whether it taking care of yourself (exercising, skin care, hair care, etc.), endless networking and photo shoots to get your name out there and working hard to have a career that lasts.

DJ Grain: Any words for the ladies out there that have aspirations of entering the modeling industry?
Ms. Innocence: Don't let no one tell you you're not model material, work hard and keep pushing. Just because someone might say no doesn't mean you wont succeed, or that they don't like your look it just means you have to keep working hard 'til they're ready for someone like you in the industry.

DJ Grain: How can people contact you for booking?
Ms. Innocence: msinnocence@yahoo.com or Ms. Innocence Myspace Page.

The Simpsons - First New Main Title in 20 Years!

Peep this. Gold. The first time The Simpsons have used an alternative main title theme in 20 years, apparently. For the most part, it's the same, but the minor differences are classic. And the last part is the most elaborate one I've ever seen. Classics.

Chris Brown & Rihanna Aftermath

Most of y'all woulda been as shocked as I was when I heard that, of all people, squeaky clean R&B singer Chris Brown hit his bangin' missus Rihanna last week.

TMZ just posted the following picture of Rihanna after her what looks like a fairly violent altercation with Chris Brown...

...god damn, son!
