Ep. 85 - Gideon + Nick Black (Lexicon)




The House List Podcast show

Summary: Today's episode is with brothers Gideon and Nick Black formerly of the hip-hop duo Lexicon. Who released their first recorded material back in 1998, in the group they went by Big Oak and Nick Fury, respectfully. We hadn't seen one another in 10 years or more and recorded this in West L.A. in April of 2018. They recently created a collective named EXGF and remain very involved in the music industry. My directorial debut was also their first music video for the song 'Nikehead'. We recall in great detail the making of said video. They just opened a new website to commemorate the history of their group, which chronicles much of their journey. Hopefully this conversation will also act as a companion to that, which you can see here: http://www.lexicon.rip/chronological/ - The photo used I shot in Upstate NY in the year 2000 or 2001 with a Canon AE1, I don't recall the film, I think it was in January. The intro and outro songs are from their second album 'It's the L!' - I did the cuts on both tracks. Enjoy!
