Da Hellcat and Olskool Ice-Gre dropped a new video for “Move Yo Body” ft. WRLDFMS Tony Williams from their YZY SND debut Dreams Still Inspire, released in August of this year. The video finds the duo at a speakeasy avoiding unwanted attention from a potential meaningless fling. Directed by Neesin, the video follows their video for “A Wise Tale”, which recently won the award for Best Independent Music video at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards.  The video comes with the release of Olskool Ice-Gre’s new book I Refuse to Quit! The Autobiography of a Dreamer (REVISED VERSION). A motivational autobiography that uses cogent episodes from the life of the author, as a blueprint to transform travail into triumph while in pursuit of one's dreams. Now living his reality as a successful businessman, music and entertainment veteran and founder of Honest Management LLC., Lewis shares his journey and the importance of helping others attain their dreams. Focus, determination, passion, and drive are the central themes in this chronicle of unrelenting optimism that motivates, inspires and educates the reader. Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, executive or simply someone looking to maximize their potential, the same lessons apply. Through his lifelong career in entertainment, Lewis has forged solid relationships packed with tremendous life lessons and insight, which he shares in this anatomy of a dreamer who found success on the other side of the struggle.  Buy The Book HERE

MORE ON ABSTRACT MINDSTATE The group had originally broken up in 2005 with no intention of releasing anything else but 13 years removed from their heyday Olskool got the call before dawn on a Tuesday morning in 2018: Kanye wanted Abstract Mindstate back together. He wanted an album on YZY SND, and he wanted to produce it. And he wanted E.P—who’d found a rewarding career as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst—on a plane that day. It took until the weekend for her to get out to Calabasas, and to Kanye’s multidisciplinary creative space the Energy Center, where he and Olskool—Ye’s close friend and creative partner since his transition from producer to artist, and A&R for GOOD Music—were working together on GOOD’s marathon early-summer run of almost-real-time EPs. Abstract Mindstate offer a return to Golden Age fundamentals for the grown rap fans who’ve been tuning into Verzuz battles in droves. (Call it Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop.) Culled from 25 songs recorded over three years, Dreams Still Inspire is the album the pair were born to make.  FOLLOW ABSTRACT MINDSTATE INSTAGRAM
