James Christos' latest report from the road has a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the rapper's new video for his single.

What a day! We started the day with a video shoot for "A Beautiful Affair" hella early in the morning. We shot on location in Houston.

Check out the making of the video, and the rest of Christos' journal entry, after the jump.

There were three locations. At one particular location in the 3rd ward, the cinematographer/AD joked about how the location looked like a good place to dump a body. A few moments later, one of the OG's from the block came over and told us, "Aye, you gonna need to handle ya business and keep it moving, they found a body over here two days ago." Aaaaahhhhh memories. 
Special shout to the Epifanio Productions crew. After the shoot wrapped some 12 hours later, we hit the road for Austin. I love this town. It's the live music capital of the world! There's always something going on. Soon as we checked into the hotel we hit 6th Street. Its like Westport on a Saturday Night x10 all week (slight exaggeration but you get the idea). I rarely club hop, but I always make an exception in Austin. 
After souncheck at 512 I was all over 6th st. We hit this one spot Barcelona in the basement. And we went dumb! There were walls of speakers so you can imagine the sound. Hit 512 at about 1:30am and GOT BUSY! Its was like performing in a really posh night club. Gave me the feel of performing at a club in the Power and Light without all the BS (power and light take notes...quit acting all fuckin scary!). Shout out to Steve and DJ Silver for holding me down. I rocked the show, made a few more fans and got payaaaayed! Aaaahhh the benefits of being a hustler. 
Well its 3:41AM and my brother young fresh has done his job without fail...and there are some Bee's sticking to the fly paper haaaaaa (Qiana I love you...and you know my routine)! Somebody find my handler! Time for part two of the show!
