[Video] Damion White is #DadLast

Watch our music video tribute to all the fathers out there who have ever felt that they were #DadLast, with a tip of the hat to everyone's favorite Bel Air royalty.

It's an ad for a mobile FIOS app, but the star is Damion White.

Found via CC Chapman's Digital Dads on Twitter:

Fathers everywhere can relate to this new #DadLast video from FiOS - youtu.be/fqrKA0Wf3lA

— Digital Dads (@digitaldads) December 1, 2012

This is a really well put together video. I watched it all the way through, it evoked an emotion, and it made me want to share it.

Three qualities of a great video.

Also, IT DOESN"T MAKE DAD'S LOOK STUPID. One of my pet peeves for TV commercials, especially during the holidays.

Damion has a fun comment on the YouTube page:

Here's to hoping for a #DadLast sitcom spinoff! LOL! Thanks for watching. Enjoy!

Ha! Great idea.

Hot New Hip Hop Profile:

From a family with music roots, Dame lost his uncle, Sunny Joe White - WXKS Kiss 108 Boston - to a heart attack in 1996. Sunny Joe was 1985's National Radio Program Director of the Year. When he passed Sunny was starting a record label with the infamous, Quincy Jones, and even then Damion White, was a 13 yr old A&R. Predating his rap career, as then Damion the 2 sport star athlete, he was just a passionate fan of music with an ear for what people wanted to hear trying to do the family proud. A few years later after rocking party after party with freestyle prowess (on command that is) Dame's career as an artist was born in late 2004 when Damion tore his ACL, and traded the cleats and sneaks for a pen and a pad. Since then he has been perfecting his craft and his brand, recording one studio album, Birth of a Universe (Independent), in 2008 out in LA. Seen on Perez Hilton's celebrity blog in July 2008, for an "I Kissed a Girl Remix" music video (YouTube), Damion is now working on several mixtapes, a new album, and pushing towards that break into the industry's recognizable personalities category.

I'm glad I've found Damion and look forward to following him on his social media outposts and hope to meet some day.

Doritos Crash the Super Bowl on Facebook: New England Entry - Chatter Bug Wife

I know him!

My name is Barry Clegg, a team of us from Boston entered the Crash the Superbowl contest for Doritos and have actually been named one of the 40 finalists. The cool thing is of all the entries posted we are the ONLY team from New England to be a finalist. What we are trying to do is get the word out about how Boston based media can make a splash on the national scene.

Let me know if this is something you would be interesting in promoting, we would be very excited to be part of your publication. One of our team member already wrote a press release and you can read it below.

Doritos fan-made Crash the Superbowl ads never fail to disappoint. This year, Doritos challenged us to “Make it big. Make it funny. Make it Super Bowl worthy.”, and we did just that. Our plans took shape, as do all of the great ones, over beers and wings at Harry’s Bar and Grill in Brighton. Two of the other key ingredients for greatness were also added to the mix: best friends and creative minds. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we’re shooting with two hilariously talented actor friends and a very professional filming setup, thanks to yet more friends in the business. The whole process was so fun that if nothing came of it, we would have been pretty pleased with ourselves.

Something did come of it, though. Out of thousands of entries our spot made the cut and became 1 of 5 finalists in the Most Powerful Dorito category, 1 of 40 overall contenders. We are not only the lone Massachusetts finalist, but the only one representing all of New England. As a group of locals, we're pushing hard to show off our East Coast pride and bring this title home to Boston. Let’s get this whole town, state, and region behind “Chatterbox Wife” in hopes of representing NE on and off the field on February 3rd!
