Nyle – Let The Beat Build [Video] – Finalist in Vimeo Awards

Today, I’m trying to catch up on some things. I’m behind on a few articles, we have a release party we’re sponsoring that I need to do a post on, I’m still trying to find a way to juggle some funds to make it down to A3C Hip Hop Festival, my dog needs to go out, emails to sort through, more coffee to make… The list goes on.

Despite all of that, I had to stop for a minute and deliver to you all a very cool piece of musical/visual art. Quick backstory, as usual…

Birthplace Magazine has an account with video sharing site Vimeo (www.vimeo.com/BirthplaceMag), where we put up the videos of performances we cover. Because of that account, I got an email invite regarding the upcoming Vimeo Festival in New York next week (Oct. 8th and 9th). Since I probably won’t personally be down in Atlanta for A3C (though we might have coverage anyway, stay tuned!), I thought I’d look  into what’s going on with the Vimeo Awards, and see if there is anything NYC/hip hop that we would be interested in.

There is! Nyle is an artist from NYC. He seems to be well known and accomplished, yet I personally hadn’t come across his work yet. His Chadd Harbold-directed video for “Let The Beat Build” is one of the finalists in the “Music Video” category at the Vimeo Festival. The video essentially immediately stopped me from the 3458309230598 things I am doing, and I have no choice to share it with you, because that’s what I’m here for.

Well done and good luck. (Click this link http://tiny.cc/vote4nyle if you like what you see.)
