Life of Artist Manager: Safaree's Bachelor Pad



(1/6/15) - Just left the studio with Safaree and we stopped by his bachelor pad, so I decided to get some footage. Safaree also shows his Bentley Flying Spur and four of his motorcycles, one which he keeps inside the apartment. Check out this MTV Cribs style tour of his place. I hear Safaree just got his own TV show on Vh1. Congrats to Safaree on his new television show venture.

Life of Artist Manager: Safaree In The Studio



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0bO0WVifSY

(1/6/15) - On this day, I met Safaree (http://instagram.com/iamsafaree) and TravisKr8ts (http://instagram.com/traviskr8ts) at a studio in North Hollywood. Safaree is known for writing many of Nicki Minaj's hit songs and is one of the better hip hop writers of our time. I believe he deserves a lot more credit for his work. Watch him and producer/engineer TravisKr8ts make a beat on the spot, while him and Safaree piece together lyrics and make the song "Bruce Wayne", which was a part of his "It Is What It Is, Vol. 2" album
