The legendary Lyricist Lounge catches up with Kareem "Reem" Fort on the set of his upcoming documentary, DEMOS, to discuss the film and give viewers a behind the scenes peek at the film. Kareem Fort is the co-owner of HiPNott Records with blogger Kevin Nottingham (KN) and is also co-executive producer of the DEMOS documentary with KN.
During the sit down, Kareem talks about how the project started, how he’s putting it together, why in some cases resources are more meaningful than money for artists to make moves in the game, the importance of timing and knowing who your audience is. HiPNott Records’ Raven Sorvino makes an appearance as well.
The DEMOS documentary is scheduled for release in Spring 2012. It will feature interviews with Talib Kweli, Naughty By Nature, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, J-Live, Da Beatminerz, Jean Grae, Tony Rock, Statik Selektah, Mac Miller and more.
The purpose of the film is to educate and inspire emerging hip-hop independent artists to accelerate their career. Over 100 industry veterans and established indie artists will share their experiences, advice and techniques, which will provide resources for the up and coming artist.
