Brroklynati dropped last week and it’s already on the iTunes top 10 best selling list. Hip hop isn’t dead, not totally at least. Here is a cut off of the album which I will be buying this weekend (I had to wait for payday, we’re in a recession). Check it out and pickup a copy.
Stop sleepin on L.A. We got a lot of dope MC’s out here and I really feel L.A. is gonna start serious movement within the next 5 yrs. That was my Negrodamus moment of the day. Anyways, check out Convinced as he rips over the Comglomerate beat as he is supposed to. This kid is gonna be a problem.

Can’t wait….June 2nd nerds.
Since I’m up late (it’s actually morning) working on my other blog, I figure why not just stay awake ’till it’s time to leave for work. Sleep is overrated anyway. 33Third is putting on a live exhibition on Sunday and the nerd will be attending. Be there or be …..”‘square”??
There will be live painting & signing from;
Ironlak artists: Augor. Pose. Jaes. Ewok. Enue
33Third artists: Kopye & Slow
Shout out to Lucy for the heads up.
Digital Illustrator and Graphic Designer, Justin Van Genderen, has an incredible eye for creating unique pieces. His style is a hybrid of photos and photoshop at its finest. He does it all from logo design to posters to prints. Make sure you stop by his site to see more of his work and/or email him for rates. More pics inside of post….
I spotted this over at Molotow (and also sponsored by them):
“McCaig-Welles Gallery in Brooklyn, New York City presents “The Character Studies,” a group exhibition opening May 8th, 2009 co-curated by Andrea von Bujdoss (”Queen Andrea”). The exhibition runs through June 1st, 2009. This diverse and vibrant exhibition showcases the new works of 5 prolific illustrators and urban artists within the context of intensive letter, cartoon and portraiture explorations. The bodies of work on display by the exhibiting artists Ewok 5MH, Cycle, Siloette, Queen Andrea and gmo$ represent their strong personal aesthetics derived from significant experience in the realms of graffiti, street art, skateboard culture, cartooning and illustration. Their works will be complimented by custom art installations on the gallery walls, painted by the artists. Both letter and caricature art have strong roots in graffiti culture, illustration and traditional graphic design. The attempt to master a personal artistic “style” is a coveted status. The exhibition promises to be an exciting juxtaposition of styles in celebration of this boisterous yet subversive artform, presenting a notable collection of elaborate portraiture, witty cartooning, collage, stencil art, signpainter lettering, graffiti and illustration works. Limited edition signed art prints will be available for sale. “The Character Studies” is sponsored by Molotow/Belton, the leading brand in superior
quality spray paint”
The homie Jussray has started posting some of his artwork over at his blog and I’m pretty impressed at the skills I’m seeing on display. Nice job Ray!!
