Nicktoons in the Trap House
I wrote about 90s/00s references in today's hottest hip hop (from Lil Uzi Vert's Spirited Away t-shirt to Offset's diamond choker) and what they say about rap's obsession with youth as a status symbol. [more inside]
May Your Fave Be Unproblematic
I wrote about Chicago rapper Famous Dex, fandom, and how we react when it turns out artists we've supported have perpetrated abuse.
There are no graphic descriptions of abuse in the piece, but the piece does discuss sexual assault and link (with warning) to disturbing material. [more inside]

Romulan - Sick Day
A hip-hop album produced by yours truly, rapped by 22-year old Romulan. If you like old school sample-based beats and sometimes playful/sometimes serious raps, this is an album for you.

It's what it sounds like -- a rap about Downton Abbey based on N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton." An animated music video of sorts, just for fun.
Chris Packham Style
I decided to put together a little video in support of the petition against the UK badger cull. [more inside]
R Money Music Video
I made a music video envisioning Mitt Romney as a rapper named R Money who likes to rap about how wealthy he is. There is an interesting synchronicity between some aspects of hip hop culture and wealthy media figures like Donald Trump and Mitt Romney that make for a funny juxtaposition, I think. [more inside]
Zombie rap video from Durham, NC
My pal's music video directorial debut, featuring some friends of mine and I, recorded before, during and after the annual zombie lurch in Durham, North Carolina. It's a rap song by local hip-hop artist The Real Laww featuring Toon.
Tens of Dollars
This is a music video I directed about a bank robber who falls in love with the beautiful teller he tries to rob. Would love to hear your brutal opinion. Thanks. [more inside]
