Like molding clay, Jeymes Samuel stretches, shapes, and sculpts original stories out of unexpected elements. Equally adept in both music and film, Jeymes will reframe a traditional world like the Old West by placing an unprecedented emphasis on the black experience as he did in the award-winning The Harder They Fall. Rather than follow the standard hero, he'll adopt the perspective of a seeming bystander in the middle of extraordinary circumstances, which he does in The Book of Clarence. He's the rare enigma who is at home both behind the camera, directing Idris Elba and Bendedict Cumberbatch, or is sharing a song with JAY-Z and D’Angelo.
He personally breathes life into every layer of his art, writing the scripts, directing the action, composing the score and writing, producing & performing the songs. As Jeymes says "Obey Your Crazy."
I have rarely experienced such a congenial work in the connection between the images of the film and the music. thank you for this masterpiece! ***outstanding***

When your musics so good you don't have to put an ass on the cover. Double cheeked and double meaning. Double trouble and no steaming. Assless wonder , buttocks free, no drapped clothes, no dressing scantily, buttock free and meaningful.. calm tranquil serving. The winds blowing through the hair of my bald head. Nice.
