The film directed by Barthelemy Bompard's won the Jury Prize award for a short film. The film which is a audio and video “mash-up” of Jamal HD’s song “My favorite Game” is what Jamal HD refers to” art inspiring art”.



“I had to use this for the video.” Jamal HD explains. “When I saw the video I was like “Oh Shit” that’s how I felt when I was writing this song. It was weird man, but I'm always looking at great weird stuff like that. Its a motivator for me when I see great artistic expression like this."

Jamal HD plans to meet fans expectations with HDMI












(Houston, Texas)-Local Houston artist Jamal HD hopes that his third mixtape “HDMI” will be the album that puts him over the top. While his first two mixtape albums Sinthusis and Mixtape with the Kung Fu Grip led the way for him to gain attention on the underground hip hop circuit, Jamal HD hopes that HDMI will be the stone that is thrown and shatter what he considers to be a glass ceiling for talented musicians.

“Since I first started, I have dealt with messy promoters, shady record labels that really are just a group of guys with a microphone and producers who really don’t have talent. It’s a learning experience and HDMI is more of a mature and polished record than the first two. With HDMI I want to take not only my creativity but my ability to entertain my fans. I would never want my fans to feel like I’m not giving them what they want. I think that a lot of talented cats just get over looked because they not rocking with certain sets or following the pop theme of today.  I want my music to be something those 20 years from now, it is still relevant.-Jamal HD

Local Houston Rapper draws inspiration for classical art

 At the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, Texas on a Saturday afternoon many Houstonians come to visit not only the attractions but also the calm atmosphere. Jamal HD is here today to view the limited showing of the treasures of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen and other Pharaohs.He admires not only the historical craftsmanship of the pieces but the relevance that it still holds centuries later in today's technological world.

“I feel art and music go hand in hand. You have to create something if you an artist. 700 years from now whatever I create today may be important and one song could leave my legacy to the whole world. Do you think when Leonardo (Da Vinci) painted the Mona Lisa, he knew that it would hold the significance that it has now.  None of us have seen him, but we know he was a creative genius. How many times did he have to repaint and edit his works before he had a perfect final?

Jamal HD has been putting the finishing touches on his third mixtpae HDMI and goes to various museums to draw not only his motivation but a strong determination to leave creations that he feels will last through the ages.

  “Whether art is given through a song, statute or painting, each form brings out serious emotions to different individuals. Just like if your ever attended a exhibit and there's a group of people describing a piece down to science, and you over there like what are they talking about, That's how it is with  music lovers and a genre some will get it some will not. One artist that is growing on me a lot is Gerhard Richter. This guy early in his career couldn't sell one piece now his work is being auction off for $200 million. That's crazy. Some critics are pushing him to icon level similar to Picasso. Of course I'm a fan of others like Andy Warhol, Monet, Giacometti and Rothko. I know the first day I buy a nice big house it will be packed with so much art. You have to have a strong appreciation for the creativity that they had.”
