Bilal Salaam Got Your Tongue?

Okay, so I am like months from my last post, but...



Bilal Salaam, a cool, extremely talented and accomplished musician/artist based here in DC. I am working on a music video project for "Decompose" and "So What" by the artist, and most recently produced a "work-in-progress" for a song from his "Langue De Rasoir" or from French into English, "Razor Tongue."

This is a simple story about the words we use with each other in our day to day relationships, interactions and how these words have the power to hurt, kill, destroy, create, heal, build, etc. Here is a snippet (animatic) of my visualization of RAZOR TONGUE.

It was recently screened at an event titled, AUDIOVISION: ALTSOUL/HIPHOPE, part of the DFPA Spring Arts Festival at Bowie State University. This event featured performances by Bilal Salaam, Bless Roxwell, Jah-I-Witness, Tamara Wellons and Trudestar.

It also featured visual artist Jeff Henriquez and performances, video/animation art by undergraduate students in the DFPA (Computer Graphics, Theatre Arts) and Communication depts. For more please visit
