We came across Tarrus Riley several times in New York City over this past Labor Day Weekend, each time with Jamaican director Storm Saulter and his co-pilot/brother, Nile Saulter, in tow. As we found out then, the trio were in town filming a video for “Come Ova,” Riley’s single on Seanizzle’s Sex on Di Beach riddim. Two months later, here it is. The cameo-filled, travelogue-themed clip—look out for Damian Marley, Bobby Konders, Stephen McGregor, Gramps Morgan and even our homegirl Hanna Herbertson, among others—was shot at various locations throughout the city, including Hammerstein Ballroom (where Riley performed at Massive B’s On Da Reggae Tip concert), Roy Wilkins Park (for the Reggae Rhythm and Blues Festival) and Miss Lily’s. Catch the video below and, if for some reason you haven’t yet, be sure to watch our “At Home with Tarrus Riley and the Blak Soil Family” LargeUp TV episode here.

Not so long ago our own visual director Martei Korley (he’s the dread with the camera) was tapped to shoot track star/energy god Usain Bolt for a Gatorade campaign–and roped in Nile Saulter, one of Jamaica’s most talented cinematographers, to put together this viral video behind the scenes. Watch as greatness unfolds below. I would say I can’t wait to see the stills–but we already have. YOU can’t wait to see the stills!

Our homies over at NCC just posted this web-umentary they did on big wave surfer Ian Walsh’s Jamaican sojourn, part of a Red Bull-sponsored series of workshops he’s doing with JA kids called Under My Wing. Talented friends, smart brands, helping the youth and gorgeous island beaches #theseareafewofourfavoritethings. While you’re over there check more of the intriguing trailer for Coast, Nile Saulter’s cinematic opus which recently screened at RedBones cafe in Kingston, just watch out for the spearguns.
