I don’t think there’s a rapper alive who has never had a hoop dream. The rhythm, improvisation and competitive energy that make basketball such an alluring sport are the same factors that drive performance MCs to move crowds. Simple enough that everyone can do them, both are accessible activities that few truly excel in.
Nick Woolley is an all-around talented guy. Educated at Columbia College in Chicago, the Eugene native raps and produces under the moniker N.VS along with his crew of creatives, Fang Tshida. He also co-operated a Portland-based clothing company, Bullē Classic, and has since moved on to film work. But even with this dizzying array of aspirations, he proudly recalls those youthful years of holding onto hoop dreams.
A true creative, the product of Woolley’s recollection is a video short reflecting those times. In his own words, “I found it interesting that something I was so dedicated to when I was younger, I find little time for now as an adult. I decided to film this piece to capture the way I felt as a kid growing up watching my idols play, and wanting nothing more than to be in the NBA.”
WOHM is proud to premiere this short film by a fresh and ever-progressing NW artist. Chase your own hoop dreams on August 10th. Who knows, Nick might bring his camera… #OutHere
