Jimmy: Can I take a photo of your little model city in the jar here?
Clark: That’s, um, that’s not a model, and you can, but just don’t—
*Jimmy’s camera flashes*
Clark: …take it with the flash.
*tiny screaming heard from Kandor*

Bizarre Days. A Critical Thinking Production. By Franky Santiago.
The Sacred Filter
Undisclosed location Argentina forest June 2048 the cold evening air and frost on the trees. Global warming at it’s finest as a stone trader sits in his fortress. Jimmy Rochelle legendary trader and mercenary. Feared in many parts of the world and a legend in Mantleville. Sitting there surrounded by Obsidian stone and fortune.
Tall lean figure, slick back greasy hair and a 21 Savage tattoo portrait on his neck. Wearing an all white suit with blue shirt. Tigers eye ring and a watch with hematite in it. Mid forties.
When humankind first discovered that Obision when used properly could cut through atoms and heal the people. Only the rich and powerful wanted it for dark purposes and for the money making it a very precious stone. Now just a resource that almost exists in legend. The world slowly deteriorates as the rich take the money and humans almost develop devices to transfer consciousness to computers.
Jimmy in a glass house in the middle of the forest surrounded by trained assassins. As a helicopter approaches he prepares to welcome his guest. The Truth and his men arrive on the roof. As the chopper makes the wind blow.
The Truth mid sixties long grey hair braided and built like a silverback gorilla. Aged and with battle scars from years of what he has been doing. Black cargo pants, steel toed boots and grey sweatshirt. Pistol at his side. Tucked inside a long six inch blade.
“Gentlemen. Welcome welcome. Please no guns.” Jimmy says.
The Truth nods handing over his pistol. They enter the elevator and go down to the business room. Three guards stand there in suits with face paint.
A room from the future flat screen TVs and a fireplace. Portraits of Jimmy in stone and Obsion stones everywhere. Glass windows showcasing the forest. In the wall a fishtank of tropical fish. Below through the floor there is a swimming pool and hot tub. Like an exercise room.
“Don’t worry my men are here for protection.” Jimmy says. “Please sit. So you come for the Obsidian yes? Powerful tool from the gods.”
“Yes. Powerful medicine.” The Truth says as he sits down. “I hear you have it.”
“Oh yes were on a mine of it as we speak. Tell me what do you desire it for?” Jimmy asks. Lighting a cigar.
“Medicine for my people.” The Truth says.
“Medicine? What? You waste my time with that nonsense. This is precious stone used for making weapons. Powerful tools my friend the money. Used for great destruction that we can use for the money.” Jimmy smiles. “So tell me. A man with your talent wants it for what a community? Are they billionaires or what?”
“People need medicine on the reservation. I will pay any cost. Just help us.” The Truth says softly.
“Oh that’s what I like to hear.” Jimmy snaps as his goon approaches with an eleven inch stone of Obsidian. “This right here my guy. Six million dollars.” Placing it on the table.
Black stripes dark blue and glossy emitting a powerful aura and its sharp edges transparent. Solid obsidian stone for great value. Used for filtering negative energy and used for weaponry. Filtering the darkened subconscious and cleaning the spirit.
“Really beautiful and sacred. What do you do with this medicine?” The Truth asks.
“Medicine? You poor lost soul this is fortune. It cured cancer, cut atoms! Fought even the hardest wars for mankind. This is power. You see my men are highly trained to kill. Who do you think pays for all this? This stone. I started off in West Mantleville selling guns now look at me! I have it made. What the real question is how did I make this happen?”
“I don’t like your disrespect.” The Truth says.
“Oh my disrespect?” Jimmy asks in confusion exhaling smoke.
“You dishonor our ancestors and give this to bad people. Every night you make families work and slave labor and kill them. Yet here you are dining an feasting with near unlimited power. Before the era of man and their thirst for knowledge this was very sacred and you desecrate it to make your money. For material objects. To give into the darkness.” The Truth snaps.
“Oh yeah.” Jimmy pulls out a pistol. “I could blow your brains all over my glass floor and no one would ever think to question me. Tell me is that not worth the money? Or are you to broke to understand?” Jimmy asks.
The Truths stares. “You were supposed to kill me.” The Truth grabs the gun pistol whips Jimmy out cold. Then shoots the three goons. Then walks over and yanks up Jimmy.
Machine guns fire on the outside as men scream. Then a large explosion rattles the structure as the glass cracks. Then six militiamen on ropes swing in and aim guns at Jimmy.
“Please! NO NO NO!” Jimmy begs on the ground with a knot on his cheek. Crying in his own tears.
The Truth yanks up Jimmy and gets him in a headlock and slams him to the floor. Then grabs Jimmy and locks his jaw twisting.
Jimmy screams in agony. As The Truth twists his Jimmies head and squeezes his jaw.
“What do we do?” A militia member asks.
“Raid the structure. Take the medicine.” The Truth says as he pauses to squeeze Jimmy's head. “Then kill any remaining men of his and when we load up the stone blow this place back down to the ancestors.”
Jimmy yells in agony as The Truth squeezes his skull. Jimmy screams now directed at the militia members who raid the fortress.
The Truth drops Jimmy to the floor. “I give you one time. Fight me with honor or die like coward.”
Jimmy jumps up and tries to run as The Truth grabs him by the collar and drops him to the glass floor. Jimmy's head makes a thud like a hammer to wall.
“Now you die like coward.” The Truth says as he picks up Jimmy like a barbell.
Jimmy screaming hysterically. As he kicks and screams crying hysterically.
“PUT ME DOWN! NOW! I KNOW POWERFUL MEN!” Jimmy yells.
The Truth throwing Jimmy in the air like he's a basketball as Jimmy's brain splatter on the tree on impact and he ricochets like a bouncy ball off two trees and lands in the dirt. Splattering on on the dirt on impact.
The militia members fill the helicopter and The Truth jumps out the window and climbs the rope back to the roof.
“Truth. Explosives planted no hostiles and all woman and children are not insight.” The Militia member says.
“Good. Give this place back to the ancestors.” The Truth demands as he climbs the ladder into the chopper.
The chopper flies off into the air enabling stealth mode. In the distance a silent explosion sends a shockwave as the glass structure crumbles echoing for miles.
“One less colonizer to worry about.” The Truth says calmly as he stares into the distance.
In the news a small explosion nothing more nothing less. But in the criminal underworld and the wealthy know something big went down. Just another day.

SleepWalker 2019 Freshman List
words by Amari Newman, Maxx McGee, & Brennan Ryan
We are SleepWalker Radio, broadcasting on Tuesday nights at midnight on WOBC. In our show, we listen to a lot of rap and watch a lot of rap music videos. Right now XXL is the only relevant hip hop outlet that puts out a “Freshman List,” which is a list of the best artists relatively new to the rap game who have gained a lot of attention in the most recent year. Unfortunately, every list that XXL has put out seems to be more and more out of touch with what actual fans of rap in our age range actually listen to. They also only highlight rappers in their list, even though so much more goes into the overall content put out by these artists including the beats they rap over and the music videos they put out.
So we’re going to put out our own list of rappers, producers and videographers in the rap game that’s more in touch with what people are listening to and want to experience.  This post will cover videographers, and you can find the posts on rappers and producers here!
Lonewolf  
@whylonewolf
Lonewolf, from Indiana, produces some of the most psychedelic visuals you will ever experience. All his videos are really high paced with a new edit, camera angle, transition, paper cutout, painting or newspaper clipping coming at you like every half second. In some of his videos, you can't count past one second without something new happening. Like you should try it because you literally can't do it. And despite the flow of chaotic visuals, every one of Lonewolf’s videos still matches perfectly with the beat and lyrics of each song. Watching his videos is like having an incredibly relaxing seizure.
Lonewolf has done visuals for Drake, Future, Lil Tracy, Denzel Curry, Lucki, Yung Bans, SahBabii, Maxo Kream and Comethazine. He is really blowing up right now with more and more people in the underground and mainstream acknowledging, and biting, his greatness. Lonewolf’s music videos are something that would make complete sense if you took LSD and watched them.
Videos by Lonewolf to watch:
“Lucki - Switchlanes,” “Yung Bans - Out,” “Warhol.ss - Devil’s Sight”
AWGE (HidjiFIlms, YGA film, Ricky Fula, Jimmy Regular, Bladi and more…)  
So there’s like a lot of people in AWGE, and they’re pretty lowkey about what exactly they are, but think of them as like an extension of A$APMob. I will be focusing on the videographers in this group, and I’m pretty sure they are all from New York. Once again, they are pretty mysterious about who works on what in their videos, but there are like 8 main editors and videographers that work them. Their videos are some of the rarest and cleanest out there. Using high-quality footage meshed with a bunch of glitch art and edits, AWGE has pumped out some of the most visually stimulating content in the past 2 years.
They have released a series of DVDs online, and in their bodega, that features a variety of rappers including Kanye West, Tyler the Creator, Maxo Kream, Lil Flip and Chief Keef. They have also released music videos for A$AP Rocky, Gunna, Kodak Black, Playboi Carti and A$AP Ferg. AWGE has made a name for themselves as the most creative visual team in the mainstream community, and they played a huge part in introducing music videos with weird edits, effects and transitions to the mainstream hip-hop audience. AWGE is still working to fully establish themselves in the industry, and I am sure they will be flooding the game soon with an onslaught of visual experiences to complete their takeover.
Videos from AWGE you should watch:
“Playboi Carti - Magnolia,” “A$AP Ferg - Plain Jane,” “A$AP Rocky feat Skepta Prasie The Lord (Da Shine)”
Moshpit DMV
@MOSHPIT_DMV
Moshpit DMV, from either Maryland or D.C., has quickly established himself as one of the areas go to videographers, especially when it comes to the more creative and experimental type of videos. His videos are incredibly diverse, ranging from a replication of a marvel comic book to a video starring a Lego version of Lil Xelly. Watching his videos can really evoke any type of feeling or emotion because each one is its own, and Moshpit has become very effective at using his creative visuals to enhance the songs they are for.
This past year, he has shot videos for SickBoyRari (Black Kray), BootyChaaain, Lil Xelly, Goonew, Lil Dude and The Khan. Moshpit is definitely one of the most creative videographers out there, and is quickly gaining attention from a bunch of emerging rappers right now. He’s in a position to really take over the visual rap game. He’s also got one of the hardest intro sequence/logos in the game by far.
Videos by Moshpit to watch:
“Lil Xelly - Marvel,” “The Khan - Just Like Me,” “SickBoyrari (Black Kray) - Catchmeoutside,”  “SickBoyRari (Black Kray) and Lil Xelly - Fishtank”.
Jmoney1041
@JermaineMiller_
Jmoney, from Arlington, Texas, has made a name for himself for having some of the  hardest transitions in the rap editing scene. And by transitions, I’m talking about what's really popular nowadays in rap videos where they switch scenes in the video by zooming into like someones iphone. It's kind of hard to explain. You just gotta watch one of his videos to understand, but the s**t goes hard.
Jmoney has shot the vast majority of videos for Texas artists Splurge and 10.k caash. He has also shot for Blueface, Matt Ox, Lil Uzi Vert, and Tisakorean. Jmoney is one of the biggest dance video recorders in Texas. If you go to his youtube profile the vast majority of his videos are of different dance groups performing to popular songs, and some of these videos actually have more views than his music videos. Jmoney is extremely versatile and is one of the hardest working videographers out whose buzz is only getting bigger.
Videos by Jmoney1041 to watch:
“Splurge - Intro pt. 2,” “Sensi Molly - $HHH,” “Splurge - Free Granny”
Nikiboix_x
@nikiboix_x
Nikiboix_x, from somewhere in Russia, might be the most interesting videographer on this list. He's this guy who gets videos sent to him and makes crazy ass edits to them that no one else in the game can match. A simple video of someone just rapping into a camera is transformed into an action packed visual with a bunch of drawings, 3D animations, glitch art and Call of Duty loading screens. Watching his videos makes you feel like you just chugged three cans of Mountain Dew GameJuice while on molly, and are just experiencing the hallucinations that come from that concoction. Like the s**t is actually insane. Imagine if that Cartoon Network show Problem Solverz was rated R and then put in a rap video. Even with all the wild shit going on, all of his edits still fall in sync with the beat and everything being said in the song, which shows how precise he is with what he’s doing.
Nikiboi has done a lot editing for the Marino Infantry collective’s videos. Doing visuals for its members YG Addie (A$AP Ant), Baby 9eno and Lulu P. He has also shot for the Noesix dance crew, Diesel and Vfiles. He also makes wild ass Dubstep music too. Although he is pretty new to the visual rap game, Nikiboi’s unrivaled talent will definitely send him to some impressive collabs as the year progresses.
Videos by Nikiboix_x to watch:
“Baby 9eno & A$AP Ant - Rerock,” “Lulu P & A$AP Ant - Western Union,” “Lulu P - Hot Fire”
Reggie Reggg
@reggie_reggg
From PG county Maryland, Reggie Reggg has mastered creating visuals that match perfectly with a song. A member of the Clockwork Productions visual team based out of the D.C. and Maryland area, Reggg doesn’t use any crazy edits or wild transitions, he just makes videos that are clean as hell. Like once you watch one of the videos for a song that he shot, you automatically think of the video when you hear the song because it really just matches perfectly with the feeling that the song was originally intended to evoke. Whether it's doing a slow and smoove Q da Fool song, or a turnt ass Goonew song, all of Reggg’s videos complement them perfectly.
Reggg has shot for a lot of the hottest artists coming out of DMV including Rico Nasty, YungManny, YG Addie, Goonew, Lil Dude, Q da Fool, Shabazz and Lightshow. Reggie Reggg has already established himself in the DMV area, and more people outside the area are starting to take notice, so expect some more heat to be coming from him the rest of 2019.
Videos shot by Reggie Regg to watch:
“Q da Fool - Bakk to Bakk,” “YungManny - All my guys,” “Goonew - Bag”
Marcy Mane
@MARCYMANE
Marcy Mane, from uptown D.C.,  is definitely one of the most influential and respected artists in the entire underground rap community. He not only raps, produces, DJs and designs clothes, he’s also been one of the pioneers in making experimental rap videos. A former member of the Goth Money Records collective, which is arguably the most important and influential group in the entire “Soundcloud” rap community, Marcy Mane was one of the main people responsible for directing the videos that were put out by the group. He’s been consistently putting out art since 2011, and was really on making weird edits with layered sequences and old VHS tape effects, before almost anyone else. Even though a huge amount of current videographers have bit Marcy Mane’s editing style, noone has ever been able to do it like him.
As of late, Marcy’s videos have been based as hell. They normally consist of him doing everyday things like buying food, drinking tea, playing golf, driving, or just walking around the city, but its filled with crazy edits that blow your mind. Watching his videos takes you to an alternate universe that's always glitching out, and turning from high def 4k to old vhs footage at any given moment, and everyone is moving in reverse.
Marcy directed a lot of early videos for SickboyRari (Black Kray), Kane Grocerys, Lofty305, Luckaleannn and Milf Mitch. He has recently done videos for StarFoxLaFlare and Sybr. His videos really are just their own, and are great. Many people have bit the swag, but have come nowhere near doing what Marcy has done.
Videos by Marcy mane to watch:
“Marcy Mane - Plugged In,” “Marcy Mane - Thuggish Ruggish Goth,” “Marcy Mane - slobonmiknob ft Mitch,” “Marcy Mane - Gothallthisgwap,” “Marcy Mane - 47you.”
