New York Dolls - 'Subway Train'

DMG$ Interview For Converse Music

Two weeks ago I caught up with Damaged Good$ aka DMG$. Two great rappers from Texas and a wicked producer from Dalston. Great combination. Kicked it with them for about 45 minutes before their soundcheck. They killed it, despite the mixed crowd and technical difficulties. Check the interview and footage below:

The Reset

The other weekend the guys at Nike teamed up with the rising brands of the UK and put on an expose of British talent at the 1948 store. More things are needed like this to bring the people of London together. I didn't cop any Trapstar but my A.IN.T Slick Rick Tee and ALL CAPS Hard Times Tee are both doing alot. It was a cool little event, good tunes, nice people, sun was out, garms were fresh.

City Rats

I was actually quite looking forward to this film. Released on the 22nd April it documents some rather niche elements of London life. Then I found out Danny Dyer is in it. This drags the levels of anticipation down dramatically, but probably still worth a watch.

"Ain't I, Ain't I, Ain't I, Ain't I Got It Going On"

I've been meaning to post long extensive blogs about how amazing my life is, and how much better it is than yours. But business gets in the way, work prevails, and as narcissistic and egotistical as I can be, in this age of "Hey Look At Me" I've sort of toned it down. Follow my twitter for that kinda of OG Flamboyance.

Atlanta was a once in a life time trip. Shout out to Derek for holding it down and putting up with me for a week, Flip for being really cool and letting me roll with him on his interview. The Fourth Ward for being extremely gully but also incredibly hospitable. Pals is my kinda bar, Gangsta Pill, Fish and the real OGs, the Chicken Trap hustlers, Magic City for the best strip club in the world and all that good shit. I've got a couple of detailed posts coming but for now admire the pictures with gleeful envy. I wish I was an actual photographer, because Derek took me to places I really shouldn't have gone and I don't think many other Londoners roll down Simpson Road and kick it at The Grand Hustle studios...

Z-Ro - 'I'm Tired'

I know I haven't posted about Atlanta yet, been on a pretty hectic one. Catching up with people, drowning in emails, new projects are starting, managed the Camden Crawl RWD show which went well, anyways enough of the long talk... This video seems pretty fitting. Z-Ro is incredible.
