Chicago – May 28, 2010- Today, Chicago native rapper, Moonie will visit BET’s “106 and Park” to drop off his new video and judge the Freestyle Friday competition.   The video was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Kurt Wurk.

“Hood Girl” is Moonie’s debut single as a solo artist.  Moonie is best known as one third of the rap group, LEP Bogus Boys (Low End Professionals), whose hits include “Shawty,” and “Chicagorilla.”

Moonie, who hails from the south side of Chicago, was discovered at a high school music showcase by E, CEO of the Infared Music Group, home of the LEP Bogus Boys (Low End Professionals).  Moonie personifies ambition, passion, edge, and most importantly, credibility.  A true rising star with humble beginnings, Moonie has witnessed, first hand, his share of successes, the good, bad and the downright ugly. As with all tales of success, comes hardships and disappointment.  Moonie’s story is no different, having endured the loss of several close friends and penitentiary time. These stories are chronicled in his lyrics.  Moonie’s style has been described as “street” story telling coupled with an engaging charm creating his universal appeal.   “My music adds another color to the picture.  Music is filled with different personalities; my music is introducing a new personality, a breath of fresh air,” states Moonie.

Moonie’s debut album is scheduled for a late summer release.  Fans can expect a universal, entertaining and edgy sound fused with high energy.    In the meantime, Hip Hop lovers can hear more of Moonie’s music by visiting his group’s website at www.lepbogusboys.com.

MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR GREG “G.VISUALS” WILLIAMS DELIVERS GRAND VISUALS FOR DONDRIA AND WAKA FLOCKA FLAME

G. VISUALS Directs Debut Music Video, “You’re the One” by So So Def’s Dondria

Director and Production Company Tapped Twice to Shoot Waka Flocka Flame’s Debut Video, “O Let’s Do It” and Remix Video Featuring Diddy, Rick Ross and Fabolous

ATLANTA – March 26, 2010 –    This week, Greg “G. Visuals” Williams celebrated the world premiere of one of his latest projects, the music video, “You’re the One,” by So SoDef’s Dondria. The anxiously anticipated video was premiered online via the website Global 14, which is a website owned by the So SoDef’s Jermaine Dupri.  Since its debut, on Monday afternoon, the video has gone viral with more than 20,000 views, reposts and mentions on websites, online magazines and blogs. The opportunity to shoot Dondria’s major label debut was an honor for G.Visuals, considering that the rising songstress’ had built her initial fan base from her own videos on her Youtube channel, which already had millions of views.  “The song is crazy and that always helps when putting together a visual. Timing is everything and JD trusted a new director with his prized pupil.  That’s why we ended up with a hot video,” states G.

This month was busy for the fledging production company, which also shot the remix video for Atlantic Records’ new artist, Waka Flocka Flame’s, “O Let’s Do It,” featuring Diddy, Rick Ross and Fabolous.  This project reunited Waka with G., who also directed the original version which stayed on BET’s “106 and Park” countdown for over a month.  “We got the call like 3 am on a Saturday morning and we shot on the following Monday. ‘We shoot Diddy on Monday’ is what my producer tells to me. It was game time.  This is what you’re in it for, moments like this.  Diddy wanted the vibe of the first video so he wanted to work with us,” reflects G.

This year got off to a quick start for G.Visuals, who celebrated the end of 2009 with a video landing on BET’s “Notarized” top 100 music video countdown.  “Swag Surfin’” by F.L.Y. placed #30 on the annual end of the year countdown. The video for Waka Flocka’s  “Oletsdoit” hit the number #1 spot twice on BET’s 106and Park. Raekwon the Chef “Only Built for Cuban Links II” gave hip-hop a classic album and G. Visuals’ collaboration provided classic imagery.  “Working on the Rae (Raekwon) project is something I’m very proud of.  The Chef said he saw things in me that he saw in Hype and Chris Robinson when he worked with them early in their career,” recalls G.

To date, G.Visuals and the 60 Frames production team have shot music videos for Raekwon, Ludacris, Mike Epps, The Dream, Big Bank Black, Playaz Circle, Lil Scrappy, Bobby Valentino, Gorilla Zoe, Case, Ms. Brown, Huey, in addition to Dondria, Waka Flocka Flame and many more artists.  To view sample of G.Visuals work, visit www.thegrandvisuals.com or www.youtube.com/grandvisualstv.
