Viral Video Ping-Pong IX - Nyle “Let The Beat Build”

“Viral Video Ping-Pong” - a weekly series on the bigMETHOD blog in which Greg and John attempt to outdo one another with the posting of an incredible low-budget clip.

We have posted a few videos during this series already for musicians doing great things on a budget to showcase their music - and this is another great example.

I couldn’t say it better than they said it themselves with one additional comment, this is from students in a music school. Granted, they have access to some great resources because of this, but these are students. Anyone can be a professional:

This video was filmed in one take, with audio being recorded simultaneously with the film. The video features Nyle (www.nyleraps.com) and is produced by Last Pictures (www.last-pictures.com) and 194 Recordings (www.myspace.com/194recordings)
