VIDEO PREMIER: GET FREE

NOTES
After many, many months of development and drawing on my end and a couple thousand hours of editing on the animators end, the groundbreaking video GET FREE has finally been released into the ether. This video was inspired by a friend of mine at Media Music Inc., Andre Howard, who suggested earlier this year that I illustrate and draw my own video for GET FREE. This video is now the perfect tool for promoting what it is that I do. I’m an artist and a musician/entertainer, so what better way for me to display my talents and convey my messages than through image and sound.

I illustrated the drawings for the video on 4 separate panel boards using Sakura of America Pigma Micron Pens. The boards and drawings were then delivered to LifeGuard Productions in Rochester, NY for the animation process and video editing. Link

VIDEO PRESS RELEASE
As America is witnessing the change of the guard, as is Hip-Hop.
Enter artist Edreys aka Billy Drease Williams with the perfectly
timed release of the new hit single “Get Free,” an anthem for change,
for reflection and for action. What also makes this hit single so
groundbreaking is the video may be the first of its kind, as this
animated video was entirely hand-illustrated by the artist himself,
truly making it unique with his own vision, artwork and direction.

“Get Free” is a visual masterpiece married with Edreys’ uncanny
command of the rhyme in which he communicates that no one is without
flaw or without vice but as a collective, everyone can independently
and interdependently “break the chain” and GET FREE!
