Last night we performed our new live set on the stage of @laternatampere where @kaikkionjazzia had kindly invited us. After a long break of performing together we decided to take a different approach and wanted to incorporate live instruments, live painting and rapping ..and not to forget turntablism either. The platform was perfect for the set and the crowd gave us the support that we needed to pull it off. Room to improve but I guess we will continue on this path. Thanks to all who came to check this multifaceted show, copped art and merch and helped us get out of the studio..hopefully we will see you all again next time we climb the stage! Everything is jazz!
Thank you @ami_njie for photos and videos. Thank you @djjukola for the polaroids and big thank you to @prettyboizclub for the dope custom clothing!

🚨🚨🚨 ALBUM OUT NOW - BANDCAMP FRIDAY 🚨🚨🚨
BR013 | Nenjah Nycist & Cut Beetlez | I Challenged the master.. AND WON!
*****
Some records don’t ask for your attention. They take it.
I Challenged The Master...And Won (ICTMAW), the debut collaborative album from NYC-born MC and NAACP Image Award-nominated artist Nenjah Nycist and Finland-based producer/DJ duo Cut Beetlez, is that kind of record.
Raw, cinematic, and unapologetically underground.
3 years in the making, this album is uncompromised and sharp. — this is the sound of a challenge accepted, and won.
If MF DOOMs labyrinthine wordplay, WU-TANG’s martial mythology, and EARL
SWEATSHIRTs introspective menace could converge into a single body of work — ICTMAW
would be it. Equal parts poetry and warfare. Nenjahs pen is surgical; the beats, bruising. Beats as hard as tamahagane steel, sharpened with the particular passion for words to challenge the best blades of Hattori Hanzō.
*****
ICTMAW is being released the way it deserves to be experienced: as a physical, tactile event. The vinyl rollout includes a limited run of 200 units (60 red, 140 black) with a Ultra Rare Japanese Edition with shodō slip cover designed by Eiren.
- Japanese Edition with Red Vinyl only available at nenjahnycist.com (US only)
- Japanese Edition with Black vinyl and OG Edition available at our bandcmap page, Link In Bio
- HHV have exclusive red vinyl records available without slip if you prefer it colorful.
Get your copy today as it is BANDCAMP FRIDAY and support the art directly.
There are some skateboard decks available with exclusive cassette tapes in collaboration with Windmill Skate Co from Finland. @windmillskateco
windmillskateco.com
And, there are also Shoes with the unique design from Dex Edword available.
nenjahnycist.com
This isn’t just another release, this is art at its finest and we try to bring the game to another level. It’s an experience.
Listen, share and support!

Veikko practicing his Ninja styles in the hometown streets with a Windmill Nenjah board and Nenjah Nycist for the soundtrack!
This cross-Atlantic collaboration with the emcee Nenjah Nycist, finnish producer duo Cut Beetlez & Windmill SkateCo. bridges many gaps bringing this ninja-themed hip-hop project to the world of skateboarding. And when you think about it, ninjas and skateboarders seem to have a lot in common. Practise, accept a challenge, calculate and strike precisely. Be stealthy, be cunning. Then disappear like nobody was there. Decks spinning like shurikens, conquering obstacles most would not even think to jump or slide. The – Windmill EXCLUSIVE – C-Cassette version of “I Challenged The Master..And won” -album is the perfect backdrop for the art of skateboarding, especially as it is only sold with the perfect weapon – the “Nenjah” deck.
