KRINK

KR Is A Don.

New York City is an inspirational place on so many levels! From the gritty urban environment, to the messages strewn across its walls, the rotten apple is a dynamic enclave providing the epicenter for this thing we call "Street Culture". Whether Hip Hop, Art, or Fashion, New York provides the substance for what we live, breathe and sleep. Many cities do many things on many levels, but New York just engages, captivates and builds contemporary urban culture like no other. Collectively it seems so mch more unified than our London scene, might be wrong but I think that from a voyeurs perspective New York seems a lot more unified. Its the foundation!

I first came across KR and the whole drips scene, for want of a better phrase, through the wonderful graf publication called 'Also Known As...'



The Fire Extinguisher paint method came to my attention through some German guys, might well have posted the video in the past, if I haven't I'll dig it out, its pretty cool. They show you how to customize your fire extinguisher!

Rob Wonder/Zone 3

Dope Boy Fresh! One of the best mash-up videos I've seen in a while, done by none other than Atlanta legend Rob Wonder. I'm reaching the ATL in April for the second time, its a crazy place, will be slowly but surely building up to my visit on here with plenty of ATLien blogging, boasts, brags and bullshit.

Here is some more Booty Bass, Mash-Up Magic Courtesy Of Zone 3

Ronson Killed The Horn Section

Although Mark Ronson bastarized, raped, pillaged, desecrated, destroyed, murdered and sabotaged the great horn section, with his remix of pop records by just throwing the Dap Kings all over them, Horns are great and these guys are wicked.
