Dollar Day

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, this astonishingly powerful documentary takes you inside Hurricane Katrina in a way never before seen on screen.

Incorporating remarkable home video footage shot by Kimberly Rivers Roberts - an aspiring rap artist trapped with her husband in the 9th Ward - Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling For Columbine producers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal weave this insider's view of Katrina with a devastating portrait of the hurricane's aftermath.

Trouble The Water is a redemptive tale of self-described street hustlers who become heroes - two unforgettable people who survive the storm and then seize a chance for a new beginning.

The Mad Scientist

As a founding member of revered NY hip hop group Main Source, Large Professor put out a CLASSIC LP straight out the game. Since then, Extra P's sound has given us Nas' "It Ain't Hard To Tell," A Tribe Called Quest's "Keep It Rollin'," and nearly all of Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo's Wanted: Dead or Alive among others. His productions in the mid-90's defined the term "boom bap," which is exactly what to expect from his first LP in over 3 years.


On Main Source, (referring to the title of the upcoming album, not the group... confusing, I know) Large Professor enlisted MC's: Jeru the Damaja, Lil Dap, Big Noyd, AZ, & Styles P to deliver a lesson in hip hop purity.
No skits, no songs based around dances, no forced collaborations - just beats, rhymes and life!
