Making Moves Monday: Musik Rewind- Little X


Lately you can’t watch music videos without seeing ones directed by Little X, including “HYFR” by Drake and the number Hip-Hop/R&b song in the US, “No Lie” by 2 Chainz featuring Drake as well. “HYFR” is nominated for the best Hip-Hop Video for the MTV Music Video Awards along with Justin Beiber’s “Boyfriend”for Best Male & Best Pop video. Coincidentally, X, Drake and Bieber all have the Canadian connection in common along with taking each of their respective lanes by storm. X seemed to have taken a break for a bit in the music video game but seems to be getting back into the groove of things.  He learned under one of the best video directors, Hype Williams.  I had the pleasure of interviewing him back in 2003 right around the time of Nelly’s “Hot in Herre, “ Jay-Z’s “Excuse Me Miss, “ and Sean Paul’s “Get Busy.” He has a quiet demeanor but yet his videos are always so vibrant and full of action.  Hit X up on Twitter@iDirectorX
