Strong Arm Steady Arms & Hammers: The Foundation

Friday, February 18 2011 12:09 PM EST | Posted by: Amaya | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Strong Arm Steady’s album Arms & Hammers hits stores on February 22nd, but until next week, here’s a short film from the crew. We’ll let Krondon explain it for everyone:

Arms & Hammers: The Foundation is a short 15-minute film about everyday life in the City of Los Angeles. It follows three young men who approach survival differently but all-in-all have the same purpose throughout. The characters by no means reflect the individuals in Strong Arm Steady directly, but more so we believe they reflect the individual in us all, which is the basis of SAS music and Arms & Hammers. I guess you can call it the ghetto’s duality. The film was written and directed by me & my bro Picaso (LAC). We came with the vision beginning to end. It was filmed and edited by LA’s own Calmatic. – Arms & Hammers – Feb 22, 2011
