For this week’s Video Friday, I wanted to show an interview I shot over the last year and a half as an inspiration to anyone pursuing their lifelong dream against all odds. It involves a small Brooklyn record label called ‘FallOut Shelter‘. I was lucky enough to meet these engaging young men before they exploded on the NY music scene. I even wrote a post about their incredible journey a little while back. I suggest reading that post to get an idea of their inspirational story.

Many people like to think that all rappers are wanna-be gangsters, criminals, and ego-maniacs. I can safely say that nothing can be further from the truth with the soldiers of Fallout. They are humble, family oriented people with an incredible love for making music. They have battled through odds most of us can never dream of dealing with, and are still doing what they love to this very day. They convey the term LOYALTY more than anything else, having stuck together through the unthinkable over the last 7 years.

The Video is something I threw together after taking footage (in diff formats no less) over the years. It was not planned out, or even discussed with them. I simply took the footage I had, inspired by what I had witnessed, and came up with this compilation. The intro was done by my partner, and co-Fallout founder Chris Perilli. I hope anyone interested in pursuing their life long dreams can take a lesson from Fallout. I certainly learned that…

…no matter what, if you just keep on pushing, your dream can never die.
