As promised in our last post, here is the Hive / @threespeak dedut of @kinofmerlin 's first ever music video: "ELAvate", filmed mostly at the Haven PDX on the last Sagittarius Supermoon.

Music Video Plot Description:
Rhymewave finds the "Light of Hip Hop" in the Kalama woods that led him to a portal behind a tree, which exited him to a bush outside the Haven / JaJa PDX in Portland, OR. This etheric music light was then taken inside the Haven where it was passed around between all the present emcees. The message of ELAvate is we ALL RISE TOGETHER , and we are more powerful as a family... with our Kin. Find your tribe and work with other like-hearted humans... it's worth it.

This vast community collaboration with the Music and Art Portland fam took the coordination of nearly 20 people, and is a True Manifest and statement to the Power of the Cascadian community coming together as the Hip Hop Megazord... and the power of community in general.

The Haven and JaJa PDX are a collective of collectives centered around spirit art and conscious music, located in one of the most unique buildings in Portland, Oregon. Community spirit and collaboration lives more here than most places in the PNW. We encourage you to join us for one (or many) of the numerous epic events held in these spaces, and to come co-create any of the events with Kin of Merlin - who were also born and exist in the spirit of collaboration.

#SelfOwnedSouls
P.S. - Kin of Merlin was born in the Forge Fires of Collaboration... we continue to feed that spirit in everything we do - so don't ever be afraid to reach out if you have something to bring to the table.

I actually checked this video out on YouTube a while back. Glad to see your music is finally getting the love it deserves! Like I knew it would eventually way back in the day on those discord chats ;)
Thank you Bredren! This is actually OUR music... that is likely why it is going so far so fast... the collective/unified approach actually does work if everyone practices synergistic support, Artistic Compersion, knows how to LET GO, and shares a similar vision of creative spirit. The hardest part now is simply harnessing the fast current of flow we initiated to keep up. There have def been some issues like anything, but overall this is the most successful and spiritually satisfying collaborative project I have ever had the honor of co-creating. @kinofmerlin for the win... @selfownedsouls should be up and running later this year as well. Let's catch up more soon homie...
OH AND ALSO yes this was a catch-up music video post... but we did JUST drop a BRAND NEW music video earlier this week and will be debuting it on Hive in the next several days (had some posting delays haha - you should see my lists of lists rn).
