showed up early to catch Kings of Leon at The Peake, and I’m glad. Dawes opened and played “A Little Bit of Everything,” which inspired this column. Oklahoma’s entertainment options have grown like no other during the past five years. When I open my calendar app, it gives me a small panic attack when I realize how many concerts are coming up. One thing I noticed in the mix was a lot more hiphop in Oklahoma. I’ve run across excellent new music from OKC’s Gabrielle B. and Miillie Mesh. In Tulsa, Higher Plains featured a blend of electronic, R&B and rap over the course of two
nights. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s a few things that have stuck out to me lately. • It’s a couple of months old but L.T.Z.’s new record is still absolutely worth your time. Give our cover story a read and check out “Sophisticated Slabs” on all the streaming platforms. At least drink a Green Apple Gatorade in Tony’s honor if you don’t. • Oklahoma-based rapper Jabee’s set to open for Run The Jewels on Oct. 18. He’s already toured with the rap duo and has had El-P produce a track of his, but it’s awesome to see local talent on the same bill as

one of the biggest names in hip-hop today. Jabee is also attracting a lot of hip-hop acts to the Tower Theatre. I’m curious to see what’s in store for that venue in 2018. • Desiree Steeze is NOT a rapper, but she’s constantly giving me a heads up about what’s happening in OKC. For example, on Nov. 4 there’s going to be a charity event at Oklahoma Contemporary celebrating the kick off Hip-Hop History Month. From noon to 10 p.m. there will be dance battles, live street art demonstrations, food trucks and workshops. • I sat down with OKC rapper J. French for a feature that’ll run in November. He talked about working with Chainsaw Kitten Tyson Meade, his uplifting new record and his new video for “Flowers” which debuted on my NewsOK blog. Go click on it.

etail version 1.0 along Automobile Alley is coming to an end, and no time is being wasted starting up on version 2.0. The first wave of retail started about a decade ago with the opening of Schlegel Bicycle shop, Rawhide, Plenty Mercantile, Broadway Wine Merchants and Shop Good. Other notable additions toward the end of 1.0 included Sara Kate Studio, Urbane, Blue Water Divers, The Factory and OK Runner. It’s a good mix of clothing, gifts, home goods, shoes, furniture, wine, bicycles, and yes, even SCUBA gear. But as the retail environment has proved to be increasingly challenging in the era of Amazon, we are starting to see a shift.
PAGE 4
OCTOBER 19–NOVEMBER 1, 2017
Let’s start first with who is gone and who is coming onto Automobile Alley. The Factory, an upscale clothing store, emptied out a few weeks ago and is being remade by its owner, Ashley Liddel, along with partners Shyon Keoppel and Jaynie Baker. The new store, Gemma, is aimed at providing shoppers an affordable shot at trendy clothing, Koeppel said, with a mix of women’s clothing, along with consignment designer handbags and shoes. Steve Mason, meanwhile, is presiding over several other changes that involve the closing of Rawhide, the move and expansion of Shop Good, and the addition of Twinkle Apothecary. “I found Rawhide eight years ago on East Main in Norman,” Mason said. “Rawhide was attracted to the future and opportunity of Automobile Alley.
While the pedestrian traffic along Automobile Alley has exploded the last three years, those pedestrians aren't Rawhide customers. They aren't shopping for a cowboy couch. Retail is tiring. The owner was ready to retire from retail.” Shop Good, meanwhile, is a hit with those same pedestrians who have bought its local themed clothing, merchandise and gifts. Shop Good, like Plenty, does “experience” shopping — creating not just a place to shop but to interact and be a part of a greater retail happening. Mason, who has excelled in recruiting retail to his urban core properties, sees all this change as an advantage moving forward. “While the common consensus is retail is dying, the correct retail is not dying,” Mason said. “Retail that is not Amazon is
not dying. Retail that is not big box in the suburbs is not dying. Shop Good is preparing to expand their store times five in the Rawhide space and the experience with this store will be incredible.” The current Shop Good space on NW 9, meanwhile, is quickly being taken by Twinkle Apothecary. The shop, until now only online, specializes is cruelty free, all natural deodorants, perfumes and body care. And so Retail 2.0 on Automobile Alley gets started, and the lessons seems obvious. It’s not enough to open a storefront. Creating a shopping experience matters. Keeping products at a reasonable price matters, as well. So don’t despair seeing the empty storefronts on Broadway. Changes are coming quickly. And the revival of downtown retail is still going strong.

Urban OKC farm establishes
new roots

Various nonprofits provide services to its residents, including The Salvation Army Boys/Girls Club, Turning Point alcohol and drug counseling services, the OSU 4-H Club, the Girl Scouts, the Health Clinic at Oak Grove, a scholarship program and We Care, a mental health services organization. “When I look at Will Rogers Courts, I just see what it could be,” Guess said, when discussing his vision for the community. “This is an opportunity to actually have a meaningful impact by engaging with our neighbors and growing plenty of good food with them. “If we can teach them how to balance the soil and grow nutrient dense foods in their yards, there are ancillary benefits that come with that. “There are so many better uses for the space than just growing short grass.”

arming and other agricultural activities shape the landscape in ways that really stand out in an urban environment. Rooted Farm, an urban Oklahoma City agricultural pursuit that has been operating for several years, plans to make its mark on some property near Stockyards City. The operation had been growing microgreens, which it sells at farmers markets in Oklahoma City and Edmond, using a greenhouse at Oklahoma City’s Downtown Airpark. But with redevelopment of that land underway, Rooted Farm’s owner, Joshua Guess, is moving his operation to a 2-acre site near Rotary Park. The Rooted Farm’s new home at 1201 S Blackwelder Ave. also is on the north edge of Will Rogers Courts, an affordable housing project operated by the Oklahoma City Housing Authority. Joshua Guess, who owns Rooted Farm with his wife, said he has a five-year lease with the housing authority, and is working his way through permitting the project with Oklahoma City. He plans to start building Oct. 31. Guess is excited about the project for various reasons. First, the new operation will use a larger greenhouse and that will enable him to boost his production of microgreens. Microgreens are one- to three-week-old growths of arugula, cabbage, kale, sorrel, pea shoots, sunflowers, brassica and other plants that are extremely nutrient dense, compared to their mature varieties. Guess said the site also gives him enough room to expand his production to include more organic vegetables, and perhaps eventually to begin producing organic meats to offer for sale.

[PHOTO BY CHRIS LANDSBERGER] “We are aiming for nutrient density in everything that we grow, because we want people to be healthy and be healed through the food that they eat,” Guess said. Guess gets mixed reactions when he tells people his operation is in the heart of urban Oklahoma City. Typically, urban residents love the idea, while rural ones aren’t so sure. Farming in an urban environment helps because it puts him close to a customer base he already has been growing through his farmers market sales, Guess said. He added he’s also excited by the opportunities he sees in helping his neighbors.
Rooted Farm is moving into a part of Oklahoma City considered a food desert because residents who live in that part of town don’t have easy access to wholesome foods, he observed. His hope is that Rooted Farm will be able to work with the housing authority’s Will Rogers Courts residents and other surrounding residents to get them interested in growing some of their own foods. Will Rogers Courts, at 1620 Heyman, has 354 units ranging from efficiencies to three-bedroom apartments and is more than 90 percent full, housing authority officials said.
Statistics report that demand for the types of products Rooted Farm plans to grow at its new location is growing, too. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service released data in September that shows U.S. farms produced and sold $7.6 billion in certified organic commodities in 2016, up 23 percent from 2015. During the same year, the number of certified organic farms in the country increased 11 percent to 14,217, and the number of certified acres increased 15 percent to 5 million. In Oklahoma in 2016, organic agricultural production sales totaled $4.6 million, up from $2.1 million in 2015, and the state had 34 certified organic farms with 18,008 acres. Most sold crops; others sold organically SEE FARM, 7

Ian Colgan, assistant executive director of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority, said he can’t wait for residents at the authority’s Will Rogers Courts to experience the benefits Rooted Farm will bring. Colgan said the authority’s deal with Rooted Farm is an example of its efforts to create meaningful partnerships to help low-income residents. “We are very supportive of using

some of our vacant, underused land to help Rooted Farm. Their mission to engage residents, both on our property and in surrounding areas, is very compelling,” he said. Colgan said Will Rogers Courts is one of the nation’s oldest housing projects. It was built by the Works Progress Administration, and became part of the Oklahoma City Housing Authority’s portfolio of properties in 1965. He said the closest grocery stores to the neighborhood are in Capitol Hill, which is too far for residents without a car to shop for groceries. Meanwhile, Guess said he’s still working to get all the permits he needs
for the project. Hurdles he is negotiating involve sidewalk and parking requirements. Guess also said he will take his time in expanding the operation, saying he wants to be sure whatever he does will leave the land better than how he found it. “I don’t envision making Rooted Farm a big operation,” he said. “I want this to be a launchpad for other people, giving them the tools they need to become urban farmers. “We can have a ton,” he continued. “If we can shift people from going to the grocery store to growing their own nutrient-dense food at home, that’s the goal.”

A peek at what’s hitting theaters this autumn BY GENE TRIPLETT | For LOOKatOKC

he leaves are turning and soon branches will be bare, signaling the fall and holiday seasons when Hollywood starts lighting up the multiplexes with the good stuff it’s been saving up for trophy time. Better start buying those advance tickets for the award-winning wannabes, fans. They’re rolling soon in theaters near you. Here are a few that might be worthy contenders.
OCT. 27 “Thank You for Your Service” is a phrase a lot of returning combat veterans hear, whether they come home in one piece or missing large pieces of their physical or psychological being — or both. This American biographical war drama written and helmed by Jason Hall in his directorial debut, based on the nonfiction book of the same name by David Finkel, is a film about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depicting United States soldiers who try to adjust to civilian life after returning from Iraq. Miles Teller, Haley Bennett, Joe Cole, Amy Schumer, Beulah Koale and Scott Haze star.
The jagged-edged gore-fest buzzes on with “Jigsaw,” the eighth installment in the “Saw” franchise fired up by James Wan and Leigh Whannell in 2004. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, written by Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger and starring Mandela Van Peebles, Laura Vandervoort and Brittany Allen among others, this chapter in the “Saw” series picks up over a decade after the death of the eponymous Jigsaw killer during the investigation of a new succession of murders that fit his modus operandi. “Saw 3D” was originally deemed the series’ final installment, before Lionsgate Films commissioned the production of “Jigsaw,” determined to keep the moneymaking tool shop up and running.
NOV. 3 The Marvel Comics Universe pits two of its baddest heroes against one another in director Taika Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok,” when an imprisoned Thor finds himself in a lethal gladiatorial duke-out with his former ally, The Hulk. Thor must fight for survival in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home and the Asgardian civilization. Chris Hemsworth is Thor, and Mark Ruffalo is Bruce Banner, or the big green
temperamental Hulk, depending on his mood. Director and co-writer Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” is intended as part drama, with mystery and horror thrown into the mix, about a charismatic surgeon (Colin Farrell) forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister. Nicole Kidman and Alicia Silverstone co-star in this screenplay from Lanthimos and Efthymis Filippou.
NOV. 10 Kenneth Branagh directs and stars as the intrepid sleuth Hercule Poirot in the fifth filmed version of Agatha Christie’s classic mystery novel “Murder on the Orient Express.” Passengers are being bumped off one by one and Poirot is racing to unmask the killer before another homicide occurs. Michael Green’s screenplay also stars Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench and Penélope Cruz.

NOV. 17 Based on The New York Times best-seller by R.J. Palacio, “Wonder” tells the story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time. Director Stephen Chbosky interprets it all through the talents of screenwriters Jack Thorne and Steve Conrad, and the performances of Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay. Roll call will find some essential “Justice League” supermembers absent from this particular teaming of DC Comics heroes. From pre-release publicity, hard-core baby boomer fans might wonder, where is Green Lantern? Green Arrow? Martian Manhunter? Hawkman? Atom? Black Canary? And so on. Well, the complainers would be openly dating themselves. Things have changed since the 1960s Justice League of America was born. But at least we finally have a live-action version of the JLA after all those lousy animated depictions. Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are ready for action here. Henry Cavill also returns as Surperman,
although it’s not clear if it’s in flashback, since he was supposedly killed in 2016’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the film that got this whole new franchise flying. 2016’s all-star supervillain “Suicide Squad” sidetrack, starring Will Smith, written/directed by David Ayer, and this year’s “Wonder Woman” (director, Patty Jenkins) only gave it a bigger boost. Zack Snyder, who directed “Batman v Superman,” returns to helm this fourth installment in the series.
(aka “Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi”). Written and directed by Rian Johnson, the second film in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy also features Carrie Fisher in her final screen role, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis in returning roles. New cast members include Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran. As with all installments in this endless space opera, it will probably be the movie event of the holiday season. It seems The Force will always be with us.
NOV. 22 DEC. 20 Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt), despite his family’s mysterious age-old ban on music. Desperate to realize his ambition, Miguel teams up with trickster Hector (voice of Gael Garcia Bernal) on a surreal journey through the Land of the Dead in Disney/Pixar’s animated adventure, “Coco,” directed by Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina.
DEC. 15 After venturing into a larger world in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015), Rey (Daisy Ridley) resumes her journey with Finn (John Boyega), Poe (Oscar Isaac) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”
“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is a sequel to the 1995 action-fantasy film “Jumanji,” which starred Robin Williams in a story of people becoming trapped in a magical board game complete with dangers they can escape only by finishing the game. In this 2017 continuation starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas and Bobby Cannavale, four teenagers discover an old video game console and are literally drawn into the game’s jungle setting, becoming the adult avatars they choose. They must deal with the dangers of their new environment — and change the way they think of themselves — or they’ll be stuck in the game forever, to be played by others ceaselessly. Jake Kasdan directs from a script by Chris McKenna and Jeff Pinkner. The film is dedicated to the memory of Williams.

FOCUS Oklahoma’s film industry endures rebate cut BY NATHAN POPPE | LOOKatOKC Editor
O
klahoma’s film industry is moving forward and inching back at the same time. A growth in the number of productions and returning filmmakers was potentially stifled in May when legislators reduced the Oklahoma Film Enhancement Rebate Program cap to $4 million. Originally reset at $5 million in 2014, the rebate aims both to attract creatives from outside of Oklahoma and to motivate instate productions until its sunset date in 2024. This hiccup is nothing new for the rebate program, which was discontinued briefly in 2013. Oklahoma Film and Music Office director Tava Maloy Sofsky said working within the restraints of a conservative rebate offer resembles climbing a mountain. Although it’s par for the course with the state’s recent budget crisis, the cut in May makes for an even steeper climb. “It does equate to the loss of jobs when we lower the cap or the program disappears for any period of time. Obviously, that creates inconsistency and uncertainty for the filmmakers,” Sofsky told LOOKatOKC. “It absolutely will make a dent or decrease the amount of jobs and the amount of revenue going into the pockets of Oklahoma vendors.” Since the rebate renewal in 2014, Sofsky estimated an economic impact of $45.8 million thanks to dozens of Oklahoma-based productions including Starz’ “American Gods” and “American Ninja Warrior” Season 8. The total includes money spent on cast, crew, hotels, equipment rentals and other hard production costs. However, it doesn’t account for what a cast and crew indirectly spend on shopping or entertainment during off hours while filming here. Oklahoma isn’t the only state looking to entice filmmakers. New Mexico offers up to $50 million in rebates annually while Louisiana caps theirs at $180 million. Those programs have anchored big-budget movie productions and popular TV shows. Sofsky said it’s difficult to land a production with a huge budget without a bigger rebate. SEE FILM, 12

She used an upcoming Martin Scorsese movie as an example. The celebrated director is looking to film an adaptation of David Grann’s 2017 nonfiction book, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” “The story is set here,” Sofsky said. “They’re very interested in keeping that authenticity. They’ve seen what Oklahoma has to offer, and they really love it here. … But our incentive won’t support it. “That doesn’t stop us. We’re resilient. ... I don’t want people to move away because I don’t know if they’ll come back. We’ve got to preserve what we’ve got and keep building upon it, not moving the other direction.”
Mechanics of a rebate So how does Oklahoma’s rebate work? Spending has to be done up-front before anyone gets a return. The incentive provides rebates to filmmakers amounting to roughly $1 for every $3 they spend on production in Oklahoma. The state-funded Film and Music Office helps monitor every purchase made in Oklahoma for qualifying films and bases the rebate on direct production costs ranging from lodging and vehicle rentals to catering and local airfare. As of May, no more than $4 million can be rebated to filmmakers during a fiscal year. “We’re both playing ball together, and it’s a win-win,” Sofsky said. “When the state rebates them, most likely they’re either putting it back into the film for Prints and Advertising (the major costs of film distribution) to get the project made, which is ultimately going to help us all. Or they’re going to reinvest it.” Sofsky noted that Cashion native Kristofer McNeeley has brought two full-length movies to Oklahoma since 2014 and is in talks to bring a third faith-based film to the Sooner State. “He could go anywhere, and he wants to come here because he’s had a good experience,” Sofsky said. “He loves our crews.” Still, the rebate isn’t without critics. In a 2013 article in The Oklahoman, legislators suggested the money could rather be used for health care, education, corrections and pay raises for Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers. Georgia’s film scene has grown into one of the largest film industry states behind New York and California, thanks in part to their extremely competitive rebate, Sofsky said. There’s currently no cap to their rebate, and AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has played a big role in boosting tourism. According to Georgia’s Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office, Oklahoma is dwarfed in comparison to the estimated $7.2 billion dollars of economic impact that 245
film and TV productions accrued during 2016’s fiscal year. “I think this is an industry that’s just going to grow,” Sofsky said. “Look at Georgia. That’s what I would tell anybody.”
An Oklahoma expatriate And that’s exactly where Oklahoma City native Justin Hamilton, 33, was scouting locations for a Marvel Studios production. During a recent phone call in Atlanta, he described himself as the poster child for what a film rebate can do. It’s what attracted him to study at the University of Louisiana and to start a film career in New Orleans. He said he watched the city rebound after Hurricane Katrina thanks to an increase in productions, film crew transplants and the growth of small businesses such as lumber yards and bathroom companies. “We shoot all year round,” Hamilton told LOOKatOKC. “We’re not scared of rain, heat or the bitter cold. We shoot in all elements. It’s an industry with high-paying jobs that actually translate to the real world. You have literally every craft represented.” Everything from architects and accountants to electricians and forklift operators, he said. “People think about actors and camera and directors,” Hamilton said. “There’s a lot of craftsmen and skilled labor positions. … You don’t have to go to film school to work in the movies.” He also noted that filmmaking offers economic diversity and how Oklahoma is similar to Louisiana in their dependence on oil. He offered an anecdote that stuck with him from a recent production. A significant number of welders were out of work when the price of oil dropped a couple of years back. While working on 2016’s “Deepwater Horizon,” roughly 75 welders found a job building a massive set piece to mimic a devastated oil rig. “It still gives me goose bumps,” Hamilton said. “All these guys were out of work, but we needed to make this platform into a believable set. The first steel order was something in the neighborhood of $2 million. After they finished, a lot of these guys continued a path in the film world.” Although he’s no longer based in Oklahoma, Hamilton returned for a couple of weeks in August to work as a line producer on “Whaling.” It was his first time to work on a feature in his home state. Oklahoma’s Film and Music Office also offers an expatriate program to attract former Okies back to the state to satisfy hard-to-fill positions on a set. “The experience, from top to bottom, was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. It was a stressful job because it was such a small budget with an ambitious schedule,” Hamilton said. “Yet everyone was just so positive and SEE FILM, 13

accommodating.” Hamilton also saw potential in Oklahoma’s varied geography and the number of looks (different styles of locations) “Whaling” could shoot in a small region. Oklahoma City can act as a big city, has suburbs, countryside and Route 66 runs through it, as well, he said. “I miss Oklahoma. It’ll always be home,” Hamilton said. “Some people run from home, and some leave for opportunities. When I come back, there’s something new and different, and the progress is begging me to come back.”

That’s exactly what Kim Percival did two months ago. The Norman-raised production coordinator returned home, along with her husband and two kids. It was a fluke when Percival landed an opportunity to work on “Starbright,” a film that was partially shot throughout Bartlesville in 2016 and qualified for the film rebate. She was impressed by the local crew and the potential for Oklahoma’s film scene to grow. “I’m hoping I can work with people to bring more projects and business to Oklahoma,” she said. “It’s not much of a gamble. … It can be a significant industry if it’s cultivated. You look at Louisiana and Atlanta. There’s no reason it can’t happen here.” Percival didn’t seem concerned by the reduction of Oklahoma’s film rebate. She said she figures if the film industry continues to grow in Oklahoma, it’ll speak for itself. “It was obvious that moving back was what we needed to be doing now,” she said. “The enthusiasm for filmmaking made it the right fit.”

There’s a good chance the Oklahoma City-based rapper is posed with a car and an even better chance he’s pictured as a cartoon. Each slab on his new record has a story. One broke down and blew up in a Qdoba parking lot. Another was repossessed after Tony skipped multiple car payments, buying sneakers instead. His dad sold the black car to make room for a growing family. Tony drives the white one now. If the cover of “Sophisticated Slabs” is the mythology of Tony’s life through automobiles then the songs on it serve as the windows down, volume up soundtrack to the Northside rapper. “If you get in the car then you can actually visualize it,” Tony said. “Once you sit in the car and play an album, you’re so connected. That’s theme music.” A portrait of Tony stands as the centerpiece. The
Page 14
26-year-old isn’t animated this time, which makes sense. “Slabs” is the most vivid and focused work he’s ever done. What you’re seeing, and hearing, is pure Tony. On stage, Tony becomes L.T.Z. It’s short for love, trust and Zion. Those three words have followed him ever since he woke up from a nine-day coma. An asthma attack stuck him in a hospital back in 2001. Since then, he’s walked in the footsteps of other exceptional Okie rappers, including Jabee and Johnny Polygon, and has tirelessly focused on music. Tony’s lyrics fixate on shoes, love loss, 7-Eleven and his favorite flavor of Gatorade. He flexes an everyman appeal while rapping over a canvas of warm, well-organized beats. The way Tony talks about his ZIP code, you’d think 73120 would be tattooed on his knuckles. He raps what he knows. At this point, he’s literally mastered the art of singing about his home. His fourth full-length effort recycles song titles and ideas but in the best possible way. It’s like the audible equivalent to a beloved jean jacket that’s been patched up again and again. Every rip

L.T.Z.’s “Sophisticated Slabs” was self-released Aug. 5. [IMAGE PROVIDED] or tear in the jacket contains a story. And if there’s one thing L.T.Z. can do, it’s tell a story. ROCK ON LeSure has mentioned sitting down for a meal together at Aja Bleu nearly every time we speak. On a July afternoon, we convene at his soul food favorite. Behind his glasses, he notices the chicken in my salad is the same as in their sandwiches. He’s got the mind and body of a food critic. He’s also one of the
few people I know who can pull off wearing a T-shirt with their own face on it, which he paired with some comfy shorts. Tony’s extremely funny. I’m careful to time my bites because I know he’ll imitate the voice of his grandmother, and I’ll spit a tomato across the table. When he starts talking, you never know who the narrator will become. Work on “Sophisticated Slabs” began after an inspiring performance at The Criterion in 2016. The cavernous venue doesn’t
look like a lot of the venues where you’ll find hip-hop in Oklahoma. It had been a momentous day because not a single person asked Tony if he could cover their admission price. After a successful opening set for Jabee, a fan approached Tony. “She said, ‘Your everyman story is what I want to hear. Nobody wants to watch The Rock be on a dating show. What’s the Rock’s problem? You can’t smell what he’s cooking because you have allergies?’ ” Tony recounted. “She was funny.
Alright, then I’m like, ‘I’ve got to make the most Tony album that I could.’ ” One year and 20 songs later, he did just that. “Sophisticated Slabs” clocks in at just under 90 minutes, an effort driven by producers/engineers Jeff “Chips” Kraetzer and Sherman “WoRm” Johnson. Also, a few of Tony’s friends recount their favorite car stories between tracks. These songs and skits sound better when they, well, sound better. It’s not

TONY LESURE
LTZ, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 like L.T.Z. albums didn’t boast production values in his previous efforts but “Sophisticated Slabs” sets a personal best, sonically and emotionally. The record is billed as a blend of the rapper’s musical influences. Off the bat, Tony mentioned Chance the Rapper’s “Coloring Book” as a creative spark. Makes sense. Both rappers share a fierce loyalty to home. Chance even went up to bat against Spike Lee when he thought “Chi-Raq” missed the mark portraying Chicago. Tony also namechecked Erykah Badu. Specifically, her 2015 song “Caint Use My Phone (Suite)” which is a reimagined version of her 1997 live-recorded R&B hit, “Tyrone.” The first song on “Slabs” is an update of “73120 (TheGood)” with a very similar title. Both tracks begin with clips from Spike Lee movies. Both invoke feel-good summer vibes. “We joked about it, and the reason why I keep doing it because a lot of people haven’t heard it,” Tony said. “Other people want to continue to hear it, so I gotta make sure it doesn’t get miniatus. For the people who have been listening, it’s like, ‘You made me re-love this.’ ” PULLED OVER When the waitress boxed up Tony’s catfish, I was eager to ask about a song that really sticks out on the record. The term “pop trunk” has two meanings. g
Page 16
One’s a term referring to digital screens that car enthusiasts hang in their trunks. The other’s about reaching into the trunk for a weapon. That’s what “Pop Trunk” is about. Tony recounted two polar experiences in Oklahoma City that shaped his view of police. One got heated after an officer questioned whether his father sitting in the car was actually his father. Spoiler alert: It really was. Another time, Tony was pulled over for speeding, and he held his hands in the air as soon as he stopped his car. He was afraid. Then surprised. “The cop drops his head and shoulders,” Tony said. “He said, ‘We’re not all like that.’ Then he taps on my door and says, ‘Slow it down, man. That’s all I want.’ He walks to his car and pulls off. I can see him shaking his head the whole way.” “Pop Trunk” started as a story about Tony’s tradition of taking his father with him to shop for a new car. Something wasn’t right though, and he took the track in a different direction. He channeled the stories of blacks who didn’t walk away from their standoffs. There’s been no shortage of tragedies during the past few years. “I’m doing myself and my race a disservice by not saying anything,” Tony said. “Because it looks like I’m ignoring it, pandering or saying it’s not my problem when that stuff affects me.” At the same time, he

TONY LESURE was careful to name-drop because he doesn’t want to profit off people’s pain. It’s a sensitivity he garnered after attending recent protests in Dallas and St. Louis. “Mike Brown ain’t coming home,” Tony said. “Trayvon Martin ain’t going home. Philando Castile ain’t going home to his kid. So, how dare I get some streams off your pain.” “Pop Trunk” unfolds the fear of being reduced to a hashtag after a tragedy and his chorus is rooted in the idea that maybe it’s better to die protecting yourself rather than sitting idly. It’s an uncomfortable argument but one that stopped me cold in the middle of an album that’s full of nostalgia. It does what a lot of great art excels at: Gets people out of their comfort zone. OKLAHOMA’S RAP LANDSCAPE Being a rapper in Oklahoma can’t be easy. For one, the scene is still in its infancy. If you quit your job today and started pursuing hip-hop then you’d still be among the earliest generation of musicians performing it. It’s still that fresh and there’s not many rappers to tell you that the path you’re taking is the right one. Or the wrong one. “You’re not doing it for anyone else,” Tony said. “You love it. This is what you wanna do. You’re setting your own bar of success and if you reach that, it’s great.” At the same time, he’s his own harshest critic. Either way, the rapper’s never alone. In addition to
COVER STORY Chips and WoRm’s work on “Slabs,” you’ll hear contributions from Oklahoma-based talent StateGang Vince, Frank Black, Beetyman, SONRAE, TripG, Jerrod Beck, Cookie Turner, Clarissa Castillo, Taylor Mercier, Donald Eisenberg and Justin Hogan. The latter four musicians play around town as Bowlsey and contributed a lot of live instrumentation to “Slabs.” Still, Tony feels like he’s somewhat of a novice. He’s hesitant to compare himself to Jabee, a local fixture who’s garnered national attention from rappers like Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Run The Jewels. “I’m way down here and there’s nothing in the middle,” he said. “I’m still like a stone’s throw, not even a stone’s throw ... I’m gonna say 10 miles away from Jabee. I can barely see him. As close as you can get to something and not tell if it’s a person or a cat.” I can honestly say if this fourth full-length record doesn’t help LeSure rise in ranks, at the very least personally, then I don’t know what would. He’s talking about Oklahoma City in a way that’s honest. People like L.T.Z. are the safest bets on something outside of tornadoes, college football and Russell Westbrook driving the Oklahoma narrative. “I’m one of the guys who takes this seriously,” he said. “That’s a very fine line to walk.” “Sophisticated Slabs” is a collection of Tony’s riches. With a wealth of material this strong, he won’t go broke a day in his life.

CONCERT REVIEW
Kings of Leon gets a warm homecoming BY NATHAN POPPE LOOKatOKC Editor
T
hey’re not exactly royalty, but they were welcomed home like Kings. Three Followill brothers — Nathan (drums), Caleb (lead vocals, guitar), and Jared (bass) — and their first cousin Matthew (lead guitar) returned to Oklahoma for a family reunion with several thousand of their biggest fans. It’s been years since the Kings of Leon has performed in its halfway home state, but no amount of absence dampened Oct. 4’s fervent celebration of what might be the last straightforward, four-piece rock act that has the bravado and radioready song catalog to fill an arena on a weeknight. “I was living in OKC when I decided I wanted to make music,” Caleb Followill said to the Chesapeake Energy Arena crowd. “I wasn’t quite sure how I’d do it. It ended up working out. Anybody, if you wanna make music, you can do it in this town.” That’s about as sentimental as the homecoming got. Caleb Followill addressed the crowd only a handful of times. I’m tempted to compare the evening to a humongous church service. Not in terms of volume because I needed earplugs in my perched seat, but rather in the devotion of fans and the band’s no nonsense, nonstop delivery of songs. Every moment had the timing of a procedure. Kings of Leon hit every note and mark during a nearly two-hour set that touched on every one of its LP’s. The evening flew by. I’m usually itching for an exit during most concerts once I hit the hour mark. Not that night though. There’s something about the communal woooooaaaah’s that riled up the crowd and made me feel at home, too. It’s also worth the price of admission to get a reminder of how raw those early KOL tunes were. In a way, I saw two bands that night — those kids who could sweat it out at Cain’s Ballroom and the top-tier arena talent of today.
LOOKATOKC.COM
“It’s good to be home,” Caleb Followill told the crowd. “You guys are awesome.” Caleb Followill’s scruffy howls are still perfectly suited for songs like “Milk” and “The Bucket.” That young, unpolished singer is still in there somewhere. I sorta wonder if that’s why the band seems almost swallowed by a huge stage setup. They grew up so fast. But by no means did they look uncomfortable rocking out. They stick to their spots and keep relatively still for how spirited the songs are. There’s more rock than roll. Kings of Leon is tame compared to the marathon I saw Bruce Springsteen run on that same arena floor. Lasers, lights and big screens did a lot of the heavy lifting while the band unpacked the hits and even a couple stripped-down acoustic numbers. Intimacy isn’t natural in an arena setting so why not let the songs do the talking? And don’t get me wrong, it’s not all rigid. Caleb Followill slapped Matthew Followill on the butt after a song, and Nathan Followill chewed gum and blew bubbles. “Still having a good time?” Caleb Followill asked the crowd toward the end of the evening. “I wonder why it’s been so long since we played here?” Probably because Kings of Leon is welcomed home across the world. However, the band acknowledged close friends and family in the crowd. I heard more than a few Boomer Sooners in reply. I think everyone felt like a Followill last night. Patrons sang along as if they’ve been belting KOL songs in the shower every morning for years. Here’s a few more observations from the show.

1. Live music fans smart enough to show up early were treated to an opening set from Dawes. Packed tightly between a huge maroon curtain and several stage monitor speakers, the quintet sped through mostly early material.

KINGS CONTINUED FROM 21 were kept to a minimum. It was economical, but no less impactful. “I’ve been in this room before. I watched the Clippers get their a-- kicked by the Thunder,” Goldsmith said to the crowd. “Am I standing where Russell Westbrook dunked? I’m sure I’m close.”
2. The stage was dim, smoky and purple when Kings of Leon got started promptly at 8:45 p.m. It looked like something out of Prince’s basement, but the unfussy vibe represented what I imagine were the band’s early days. The bass drum was glowing orange, outlining the “KOL” taped to it. It resembled a bat signal of the spectacle soon to follow.
3. The band ripped through several songs while much of the stage hid behind that maroon curtain. I loved hearing songs from “Aha Shake Heartbreak” but might’ve liked singing along to “Use Somebody” just as much.
PAGE 22
OCTOBER 19–NOVEMBER 1, 2017
4. The curtain closed for a short, three-song acoustic set. Caleb Followill started on his own with “Milk,” but the rest of the band joined shortly after. It’s fun to see those songs work with such little instrumentation.
U2’s “Where The Streets Have No Name” and it made me think Bono and Co. are the missing link between the rowdy “Aha Shake Heartbreak” and the polished sounds of “Because of the Times.”
5. Caleb Followill seemingly went solo again to play
8. A few nights ago, Kings of Leon played a freezing, outdoor concert at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre. I couldn’t tell until really late in the show, but Caleb Followill’s vocals started sounding a little rough. “My voice is not the best tonight,” he told the crowd. “But if you sing with me, it won’t be so bad.” They obliged.
the title track off “WALLS” and for the entire song I wondered where the extra instrumentation was coming from. Toward the end of the track, the curtains ascended and there were the remaining Kings along with two auxiliary members to help fill up the arena.
6. The stage was constantly growing and transforming. I’m sure there’s a metaphor for the band in there somewhere. I liked the giant sunset backdrop, but it eventually fell to reveal more LED screens. Each song featured fresh designs. The artwork broadcast went from creepy, blindfolded women and suited elderly men to funky artwork and vintage camera filters. At times, the screens made the band look like an Abba music video. 7. Those pulsing guitar parts in “Radioactive” resemble
9. Tracks from 2017’s “WALLS” dominated the set list. I counted seven. It sounded like “Waste a Moment” was the most happily received from the crowd. It seemed like a fitting way to wrap the show. 10. There wasn’t an encore, which I’m definitely OK with. I think it’s silly to go to all that trouble just to walk back onstage. Nathan Followill took the last seconds of stage time to throw a horn’s down. It sparked an OU chant. Yeah, these guys are still from Oklahoma.
