April 2008

MTV is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Yo! MTV Raps — a show that brought hip-hop to the world and that they perhaps rightfully claim to be "the most influential music television series of all time!" (Does Dick Clark know about that boast?)

Here's what to look forward through this month of April:

Lanette Phillips Management is now representing directing/creative team The Brothers Strause through Hydraulx Filmz for music videos.

Videos for The Brothers Strause include:

• A Perfect Circle "Weak And Powerless"
• Flyleaf "I'm So Sick"
• Linkin Park "Crawling"
• Nickelback "How You Remind Me"

The Bros. recently finished two videos for Usher — "Love In This Club" and "Movin' Mountins" — and are due to be released soon.
