The Capital 2 Logo + a Lil' Mo'.

First off, thanks to my cousin, Denver Talavera (most amazing visual artist I know) for helping me with the logo. I can be a dumbass when it comes to Photoshop sometimes. Here it is, the official logo for Capital 2. Very simple, and recognizable. 

Capital 2 Logo
A Lil' Mo'
A little more 29 for your mind. 2nai Productions is more of a family than a production company. The name came from an idea sparked by one of my closest friends brothers, Mikko Catoner aka MindPower Mikko as the name to a clothing brand we wanted to start back in our Sophomore year of highschool ('05). It wasn't always "2nai" either. Sometimes we called it 2nine, TwoNine, 29, Two9, etc. but as the idea grew 2nai made the most sense. 2nai (tunai) means true or real in tagalog. Which is what we are about: keeping it real and true to ourselves and to the people around us.

We made shirts and designs throughout high school, but the name didn't wildly spread until May 29th 2009. That was the date of 2nai Means "True" which is when 2nai became a production company. That was the start of it all... We pushed and grinded off our asses to get the event crackin' and as a result of our blood and sweat, we got a turn out of 500 people in a venue that could only probably fit 150 people shoulder to shoulder. The show was an attempt to spread the music of Wordplay and our closest friends with musical drive. &it was a very successful attempt. 2nai Productions is about a year and a half strong. We shat on 2010, now we gon' take 2011 for ours to keep.



Now, this is my way of showing my love to the fam. Thanks to the inspiration of the IC3 brothers and the rest of the Tastemakers crew, Im placing my drive and passion into the designs for Capital 2. For all the fans and supporters of 2nai Productions, you'll be seeing some dope designs I've stirred up that are dedicated directly to some of your favorite music artists and also just some designs that'll give you an understanding of our messages, lifestyle, throughts, and ideas. From our producers to emcees, painters to dancers, singers to dj's and everyone that helps put the pieces into place. Damn, we do hella shit.
