Books - SHAFT and Parallel Strokes

Shaft (Book)128 pages, softcover- by Doze Green & David Ellis. Two of the most influential graffiti turned fine artists active today, New York City residents Doze Green and David Ellis fuse the true meaning of hip-hop with contemporary art styles to create a hybrid of visual sounds that are truly unique and original. In their collaborative book and project, Shaft, each artist takes their trademark styles and characters and interconnects both elements on a site-specific project upon an elevator shaft. The results epitomize the roots of hip-hop and both artists reflect the 21st century urban landscape.The 128-page book comes with a pull-out poster that captures the entirety of the shaft project.

Parallel Strokes is a collection of interviews with twenty-plus contemporary typeface designers, graffiti writers, and lettering artists around the world. The book is introduced with a comprehensive essay charting the history of graffiti, its relation to type design, and how the two practices relate in the wider context of lettering.
Interviews within include conversations with pan-European type design collecitve Underware, Japanese type designer Akira Kobayashi, American graffiti writer and fine artist Barry McGee/Twist, German graffiti writers Daim and Seak, American lettering artist, graphic designer and design eductor Ed Fella, among others. Parallel Strokes is an enquiry into the history, context, and development of lettering today, both culturally approved and illicit.

R.I.P Camu Tao

Hip Hop has lost yet another talented solider and this time again it is sadly another trooper from Columbus, Ohio, 31 year old producer and MC, Tero Camu Tao Smith lost his life due to a long battle with lung cancer, Camu was first introduced to the World through MHZ (RJD2, Copywrite,Jakki Da Motamouth and Tage Proto) first releasing the "World Premier"/"Camu" 12" in 1998 and followed that up with "Rocket Science", both singles being released on Bobbito Garcia's great Fondle 'Em label.



MHZ, never had an official album, but released Table Scraps in 2001 which was a collection of their singles, some freestyles and other material, after the MHZ material, Camu worked on a vast number of projects as both as an MC and producer, he formed Central Service with EL-P, SA Smash with Metro who released the zany but dope Smashy Trashy LP and The Night Hawks with Cage, who released the one off Nighthawks LP, and he was also a part of the mighty Weathermen crew on the Def Jux label, Camu had a unique style and was indeed one of a kind, he is probably best known for the late, great DJ Przm's "Hold The Floor" classic, but Camu produced and did a lot while he was here and worked with many artists, ranging from Vakill,Evidence to Prefuse 73.


SA Smash

Camu seemed to be a name synonymous with either Def Jux or Eastern Conference records, appearing on and producing records for both labels, Camu Tao's music in it's essence was interesting, hardcore and dope and I hope you enjoy this compilation I put together I went through a lot of material and wanted the compilation to be something you smash speakers with or just rock in your headphones.. the underground has lost yet another great, it's just not fair.

Rest in eternal peace Camu and thank you for the music.

O.D.B.Return To The Essence

Ahhh The Wu, the mighty, mighty Wu Tang Clan, I could write for hours on them, but this post is dedicated to the great and much missed Ol Dirty Bastard, it was a compilation I did up as soon as I heard of his passing in 2004, it is a compilation that showcases the amusing,paranoid,delusional, inventive, clever and downright insane and infectious style we all became accustomed to.

I remember the first time I heard O.D.B., it was, of course on Wu's classic Protect Ya Neck and I thought he was defintely the most bugged of the clan (First things first man you're fuckin with the worst) and loved his work on Enter The 36 Chambers and his timeless and very dope Return To The 36 Chambers album, Ol Dirty's style really was unique and he was what being an underground MC was all about, he could adapt to all types of beats and could flip any style and he had fans and mad love from all coasts and all around the World,I would say that my favourite joint from the late, great Unique Ason was Harlem World his flow was manic and incredible.

It's sad how Russell went out, but we all knew that he loved getting high and had his fair share of issues and problems and fathered something like 14 kids, so it was only a matter of time before something happened sadly, I miss Ol Dirty and wonder how different 8 Diagrams might have been if he was still around, the Wu haven't really been the same since ODB was taken from us and he was a vital part of the clan in my eyes.

Rest In Eternal Peace Ol Dirty Bastard
