What's good party people! If you don't know, now you know that we are just about ready to release DEMOS Documentary to the world. Kareem Fort and I have been traveling around the US screening to film to various audiences and the response has been overwhelming! Our first screening went down at The Grammy Museum during Grammy Week so that was a hell of a way to kick off this new journey. We can't wait for everybody to see this film but for now enjoy Episoode 1 of the DEMOS Web Series. Now we have linked up with Daily Motion to bring to you the DEMOS Web Series. Daily Motion is the world’s second largest video destination with 112M UMV and #31 site online ranked by comScore, Last week we released the exclusive first episode of the highly anticipated web series, DEMOS, to help educate and inspire independent Hip-Hop artists. The series, which is the brain child of rising documentarian Kareem Fort, features top Hip-Hop artists sharing their own stories and insights of how to make it in the world of independent music. Eight inspiring episodes will be released exclusively on Dailymotion once-a-week leading up to the premier of Fort’s debut film, DEMOS: An Independent Artist’s Guide to Success, on May 22, 2013. The 30 minute intro to the full length documentary will also be simulcast only on Dailymotion.
Featuring interviews obtained during the making of the full film, DEMOS: The Web Series gives artists and fans a unique look into the world of independent Hip-Hop and what it takes to make it big. Episode one features artist Black Thought discussing how acceptance in music has changed and how embracing one’s individual talents can help one find success in their own niche. Subsequent episodes feature Talib Kweli sharing the risks and rewards of being a leader, Murs delving into the concept of group advancement, Kendrick Lamar conveying the importance of connecting with one’s fans, and four other insightful episodes.
“Dailymotion prides itself on providing both an outlet for independent content creators to grow and the guidance they seek to reach new heights,” says Neil Gladstone, VP of Content for Dailymotion US. “The DEMOS Web Series reflects these ideals and more, and Dailymotion is excited to partner with Kareem Fort on distributing these episodes ahead of the DEMOS film premiere.”
The DEMOS film and web series showcases over two years of work by creator Kareem Fort, as he set out to show the world an alternate view of success in Hip-Hop. As COO of HiPNOTT Records, Fort knew first hand that success as an independent Hip-Hop artist is more than attainable; it happens daily, across the globe, and in many different ways. DEMOS brings new light to the countless artists who have found success outside of the major label system and the myriad ways in which they have created that success.
The result is an unrivaled resource for aspiring Hip-Hop artists that both inspires and educates through the experiences, advice and proven techniques recounted by an elite group of Hip-Hop legends and industry tastemakers.
“I am very excited to partner with such a well-respected brand as Dailymotion,” says Kareem Fort. “The fact that the entire team understands and supports my vision and shares my enthusiasm about DEMOS and what it can contribute to the hip hop culture makes me confident that this is just the beginning of a great relationship.”
The DEMOS Web Series, which is slated to continue on past the documentary’s premier, is the latest content featured on Dailymotion as part of an ongoing effort to connect content creators directly with their audience.
