Announcing our upcoming release: KURIO by @ohbliv the great.
We’re thrilled to put out the latest opus from a titan of the beat scene, out of Richmond, Virginia. Not only has his work been prolific, but he was publicly endorsed by Madlib for his quality and workflow. You’ve also heard his standout collabs with MCs like Pink Sifu, MIKE, Your Old Droog, billy woods, ELUCID and more.
This latest, KURIO, is a richly dense cosmic journey of swirling samples and adept drum programming. A vibe to be sure, but also a lowkey technical statement.
250 clear vinyl pressed. Full album (vinyl + digital) out May 29th. “Time Fallen” the digital single off the album, is available NOW. Order details to come.
BIGBOYMUNEE by me and @ohbliv streaming now. Should we drop an official video too? Is Flexico and Bliv the new PB&J? Is water wet? #youngflexico #flextopiarecords #ohbliv

When I started this series, It was simply a way to get all the random beats and tracks I made out to the people. I never expected it’d go all the way to 18. What a journey it has been. Celebrating another trip around the sun, I give you the last joint, Lewsejoints 18. Out now! go to /album/lewsejoints-18 | ohbliv.com 🖤🖤

Studio visits with @coppere.ford feel like family reunions, where you gain rare access to the coveted family photo albums and VHS tapes with the animated energies of ancestors known and unknown.
Time capsules and points of transportation echo through downloads and familiar frequencies. It’s a space where you learn about yourself through others.
Ford selflessly shares pieces of his artistic process while always highlighting the creative energies that are his roots and orbits: his family. He spoke about being happy to live in “a house full of artists and creativity” and how it has became his catalytic haven. A studio practice and context becomes sacred to the artist for deeply personalized reasons and we are always grateful to be extended invitations into such spaces.

“Oblivious Utopias” – Debut Solo Exhibition by Coppere Ford
We proudly announce “Oblivious Utopias”, the debut solo exhibition of Richmond-native multidisciplinary artist Coppere Ford, opening on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Curated by Rā-Twoine Fields and Nigel Richardson, the exhibition marks a significant milestone in Coppere’s evolving studio practice and will run through October 4, 2025.
Blending collage, installation, and sound activation, “Oblivious Utopias” highlights Coppere’s unique approach to Akashic memory recovery and cultural archiving within an Afrofuturistic and postmodern framework. His practice is rooted in lived experience, research, and cultural knowledge, weaving a thread between visual, material and thematic experimentation.
Throughout his emerging career, Coppere has exhibited in group shows at Southside Contemporary and Art Basel Miami, with upcoming presentations planned for Affordable Art Fair NYC 2025 [Sept. 17-21]. This new chapter includes his debut solo exhibition, presenting a collection of work that reflects his ongoing evolution as an artist and cultural archivist.
Public Opening Reception: Thursday, 09.04, 6-9pm
First Fridays at SCAG: 09.05 & 10.04, 5-11pm
Sponsors: @cttc_foundation@rvaboombox@therichmondseen@lecachedulcet
Studio visits with Coppere Ford always feel like visits to your cool cousin’s house. The one with the dope collection of things you can browse and fire snacks. A mini vacation to another world.
Very grateful for the space offered and the opportunity to curate his debut solo exhibition in his hometown of Richmond, VA. We’ve been organically engaging over the last three years and building to this point to be able to present his process and works in authentic light.
