WST x FUA Production

DazeRoc-WST x Range-FUA x Izzy-WST

After years of cracking jokes and checking out each others crews work on the world wide web I was hype when Range-FUA called me and said he had touched down in So. Cal aka San Diego.  With just only a few days in town, we knew we had to set something up if it was going to happen.  Izzy lined up a wall thru the good guys at the Writerz Blok and the mission was on.  Being a huge fan of Range's characters I knew he was going to get character duty in the production.  Izzy rocked a small WST at the end of the production so I suggested to Range that he throw up a FUA on the other side.  He handed the job to Izzy to keep with the same style and flow.  I ended up with background duty and came up with the exaggerated bubbles to help fill the large empty spots in the background.  We kept the vibe, conversation and music 100% Hip Hop all day.  The wall blessed us with some shade, so we couldn't complaint about a thing.  #TodayWasAGoodDay  Mad shout out and salute to Range for being a cool old school writer and helping take this production to the next level.  My man even showed SD some love on the Chargers character.  On a side note the Chargers won the next day and are the No. 1 team in the NFL as I write this.  Hope to be able to visit Rochester one day and get down on my mans walls. One love to the entire FUA familia and hope you enjoy the flicks.

Graffiti Kaleidoscope x Mad C

Mad C - Graffiti Kaleidoscope

OK guys.  It's been a minute since I gave you one concerning the Queen B of Graff and by that I mean MAD C.  On this piece, the transition of the artist and the progression to think outside the box and constantly push the envelope hit a home run.  Don't know what these bad boys are worth but seeing that only 8 pieces were made they got to be a pretty penny.  A big fan of the transparent colors from spray paint company Belton her sponsor, the Kaleidoscope idea seems to work from the start.  Made for her solo show "Reflections" at the Kolly Gallery, the pieces are made out of anodized aluminum and made to look like a 600ml spray paint can.  They are hand painted to match each piece and boast hand cut pieces of colored glass that also match the color scheme.  Smh…  Below are a few flicks from the project and a video that sheds more light on the Kaleidoscope.  Enjoy!

Founding Fathers

Founding Fathers - DJ Documentary

Here's one that I've been meaning to share with you guys, but I wanted to watch it a few times before I weighed in on it.  This is the DJ documentary "Founding Fathers".  It sheds light on a list of DJ's that feel like they were left off the Hip Hop history books.  Throughout the entire documentary there is no or very little mention of Bam or Kool Herc.  Sour grapes or a legitimate gripe?  Let me know what you think on the feedback after you watch it.  In the documentary they say that people like Bam & Herc were a few years too late, but personally I feel more like they were actually a few years too early.  They we're also more disco and or club dj's.  The documentary does shed light on a bunch of technical advancements in the field of DJ'ing.  I feel they did a good job on that.  It also shows what I've been saying forever and that is.  That this DJ game as we know it, has more roots in the sound system business started in Jamaica.  The documentary is narrated by Chuck D who does a stellar job and should ruffle a few feathers or at least open up some interesting dialogs.  Enjoy and don't forget to tell me what you think in the feedback section.
