THIS IS JUST MOST EXCELLENT THANKS REDA AND ERIK THAT WAS A CLASSIC AFTERNOON I WONDER DOES ZARED BASSET GET A CAMEO IN EPISODES 4,5 OR 6?

This was really fun last Thursday at the Hudson Hotel in NYC 40 drummers all playing at once. It was totally enthralling to witness I loved every minute of it. If you ever get to see a group of drummers playing at once bring some ear plugs you will have some hearing loss post for sure. That said I would also highly recommend the experience.

Some info on the Barnstormers:

Over the past decade, the Barnstormers have created large-scale collaborative paintings, films, and performances. The group formed in 1999 after a pilgrimage of twenty-five artists to the rural town of Cameron, North Carolina, where they painted barns, tractor-trailers, shacks, and farm equipment, and continue to return to paint new murals. The Barnstormers’ “motion paintings” best demonstrate the range and flexibility of their collaboration: each timelapse video depicts a mural in the making as members dart about, adding and effacing marks, evolving the image with each passing second. A 2005 project included the dis assembly/relocation/reassembly of a barn captured on video in a time-lapse flurry of activity. Improvisation, in spirit and practice, is the Barnstormer ethos.

This show was great if you get a chance to check it go do it @Joshua Liner Gallery at 548 w 28th st 3rd flr tell em I sent ya!

Back on my blog grind for reals!

PHAROAHE MONCH INTERVIEW from PRO KEDS on Vimeo.

Line Em up:

PHAROAHE MONCH:LINE EM UP from PRO KEDS on Vimeo.

I put this together out of love for Pharoahe Monch’s talent. I’ve known Monch for more than 15 years and since the first time I heard him spit I knew how incredible he was. It’s interesting how we meet, it was due to a tragic occurrence the death of Paul C the talented producer who left the world way to soon. Monch and Prince Poetry were in a band called STP ( Simply To Positive) that Paul had produced. I liked they’re stuff and they went on to become theseminal group Organized Konfusion a few seasons later.

I always thought Monch and Organized Konfusion were outstanding. His level of rapping was always light years ahead of most and still is. Once upon a time I tried to sign Monch to my label Stimulated but he got away. I always wondered if the Loud the machine that was my distributor at the time would have gotten behind Simon Sez would he have gotten the recognition he deserved.

I saw him tear it down at this years SXSW I can’t wait to hear W.A.R the record he called unapologetically lyrical and the best cohesive lyrical record he’s ever done.
