I had the pleasure of chatting with David Velo Stewart a few weeks ago.  David is a fascinating film maker and writer who started his career in Ohio as a D.J.  David\'s latest project, This Thing Called Hip Hop, is inspirational, and shows the origins of hip hop.  This is streaming on Amazon Prime.

David graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor\'s degree in African American studies with a concentration in film. In January 2000, Stewart founded Velocity Productions Ltd. This entertainment company specializes in producing feature films, documentaries and web videos. In 2001, Stewart completed the narrative feature film Hiphopbattle.com: HipHop for Life, which premiered at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has been screened at the Sundance Film Festival (2002) and Acapulco Black Film Festival (2001). Stewart followed the success of Hip-Hop 4 Life with a city vs. city rap battle documentary series. The fifth and final installment, Hip Hop Life (2007) can be found on Netflix and iTunes. One of his latest film, The Low Key Savage Sunday is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

One of the things that impressed me is there is little to no swearing in David\'s films, and absolutely no use of the "N" word.  

David has also written picture book for children and is working on his second book.  

He can be found on instagram @hiphopbattle and facebook.com/davidvelostewart.
