When White Men Do Black Man Music

It sounds pretty damn good. Jazzanova, have been in the game for over 13 years dabbling in trip-hop, electronica, and putting out a handful of albums. Their most recent LP “Of All The Things” is a perfect soul throwback album with appearances by Phonte of Little Brother, Dwele to name a few.  The minute i heard “Look What Youre Doin’ To Me,” I thought i was listening to WAR, or one of my Uncle’s soul mix tapes. It has that right vibe to it, makes you think you’re smooth as hell. Phonte does a pretty good soul croon for the hook. Then he goes on to another track, “So Far From Home,” rapping as only he can do(it sounds like a new Little Brother cut). If you haven’t heard of Jazzanova, Pick up this album first and then work your way back.

NYC, CA, and the rest of the WORLD.

So this mornin’s, after my coffee I was checking out 12oz Prophet and came across an illustration that depicts a culture that is blowing up throughout the world it seems.   When I used to work in DTLA, i’d always see these dudes around going about their daily business, and thought nothing other than it was their hustle.  Ya smell meh?  Nowadays, I guess it’s cool to jock the “style” these past few years.  LAMEEEEEEEEEEEE.  AYE, im entitled to my opinion, so if this post gets you mad, i’m talking about you son!  I do agree though, riding a bicycle on a daily basis or even weekly basis is healthy.  Fight childhood/adulthood obesity America!  Enjoy the artwork of Grotesk!

“Do what we do, when we do, what we do, hanging out with no curfew?” I don’t know?  I do know… the day after New Years, I will be showing at Senor Fish with a few talented bucks and muscians, look below for the flyer.   Also, I will be releasing a ***NEW*** print that night, and will be on sale for $10!  Wow Wow Wee Wah!  What a DEAL RIGHT?  That’s like two beers at a bar?!?

Then the next day, down the street!:
