[Video] Es – Speak Up & Speak Out

“Speak Up & Speak Out” is the new video by Es from his album Feud For Thought. Directed by Robbie J and produced by IV The Polymath.

It is all about youth empowerment. This is the main theme of this song. “Think before you speak… think before you act… ’cause what goes around comes around”. Many of our young people make decisions on impulse. Too many dying prematurely. Too many falling victim to senseless violence. Too many winding up in the judicial system. Speak Up & Speak Out attempts to bring these issues to light.

Marco Polo produced Brooklyn Nets’ TV intro

Marco Polo, who currently resides in Brooklyn, produced the music for the YES Network’s Brooklyn Nets intro.

You don’t have to be a patron of the Barclays Center to be familiar with the soundscape that’s now symbolic of the Brooklyn Nets. The anthemic horns and infectious beat, composed by the Brooklyn by way of Toronto producer Marco Polo, is also used as officially licensed music for the Nets, courtesy of the YES Network, the team’s official cable broadcast channel. Those that tune into the games will be sure to recognize the animated video clip, which is used at both the intro and outro of all their broadcasts, as well as during highlights, commentary, and transitioning to and from commercial breaks, in the house that Hov built.
