Ricky Shabazz and the Boom Bap Boys for Rap Video Crew of the Year (FREE Mixtape Dropping Soon)

In case you haven't noticed, Ricky Shabazz and the Boom Bap Boys (a/k/a Director Nicolas Heller - think The Streets) have been responsible for a serious chunk of the most creative and downright dope hip-hop videos of 2010. Though I don't know Heller and his team personally, we seem to have comparable taste; this year they cut clips for the likes of Homeboy Sandman, Time Crisis, and C-Rayz Walz - just to name a few.

There's some serious vision here; in short time I have no doubt that Heller will become the go-to dude for forward-thinking rap videos (if he isn't already). But for now, he's dropping a FREE mixtape featuring some cats he's been working with, and others who I hope he'll work with soon. Brought to you by Fameless Fam and UGHH.com.
