Heads up! Classic graff pics from my photo albums mixed with one or two hip hop pics. A few throwbacks on this Thursday to remember times that I felt more connected to the essence of this culture. Today it’s subcultures segregated into smaller sub-cultures and most don’t truly interact or know much about the other anymore. If there is any info or insight that can be added to the convo about these pics, let me know.

Whose house?
We toured the globe several times entertaining crowds with two turntables and a mic. This is live on stage on someone else’s gear not an edited video in my house that i did 100 takes to get it right. Walk on stage n own it… My house.

Tower Records, Tokyo, in-store appearance in 2004 w Rahzel & Afra. Always enjoying ourselves bringing hip hop around the globe showcasing skills and elements without hit records. No one brings what we do. No one. It’s a fun n entertaining way to show and teach all-age audiences about the important relationship between the mc and dj. No cursing, no drugs n guns, no saying the N word every 3 seconds. Peace, unity, love, n having fun. Shout to Afra, he is incredible!!!! 🎧🎤📈💎📡

Which one is your favorite out of these? I love and collect record covers w graffiti. I have some I love more than others. I’m still looking for some, but i have around 2 crates in the vinyl collection w quality graff. Just found this sealed copy of Sat One’s record. Any obscure suggestions are appreciated. I prefer good pieces to weird stuff. lmk.

Graff on wax… Some new purchases from @phonoforever to add to my collection of records with graffiti covers. Dope music with graff on the cover is always a win/win. 🎧💎
