His resume speaks for itself. Alongside his work with a wide range of artists – from superstars like Jay-Z, Nas, Snoop, and Busta, to rising phenoms like Wale, Joell Ortiz, and Consequence – he’s also been nominated for the 2009 BET Award for Video Director of the Year<\/em> alongside heavyweights like Hype, Chris Robinson, and Benny Boom.<\/p>\n
