BLU – BIG BAM BIG BOOM

Not to be confused with the rapper by the same name, the French artist who goes by the moniker Blu is a tour-de-force when it comes to street art. One good reason why he is a quickly becoming a fixture in peoples heads is these insane videos he creates. It’s like watching the city come alive. I get impatient drawing on a post it.

RECAP: G.O.O.D. MUSIC X RSVP GALLERY X SPRITE GREEN 9/18

Last night Chicago was shut down by a classic event put together by my homies Marc Moran, Virgil Abloh, and Don C of the newly-opened RSVP Gallery & Sprite Green here in Chicago. They, in connection with and G.O.O.D. Music, created a pop-up installation in Millennium Park that was free to the public, free liq, and performances from J. Ivy, Really Doe, Big Sean, GLC, Consequence, Mr.Hudson, Kid Cudi, and Common! Even new G.O.O.D. Beats addition Don Cannon came through to bless the stage. It was a dope event and definitely one of the top ones I’ve been to in Chicago (funny how my top 2 both involved Common, he’s in my Top 3 MCs ever of all time!). The homie Andrew from FSD got some dope footage right in front of the stage of Cudi’s set and Common’s set, so check that out, and check out the pics of RSVP Gallery. GO!

The RSVP decor is taken from The RSVP Private Collection of works from artists including Mark Newson, Stephen Sprouse, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kaws and NoPattern. RSVP offers pieces from premium brands including Kaikai Kiki, Ambush, Dee & Ricky, Super, PLAY Comme des Garcons, Rizzoli, Original Fake, G-Shock, Incase and Boxed Water.

VIDEO: KOBE & LEBRON FOR NIKE “THREE RINGS’

I post that to say this – who’s taking it all this year? My brother NO and I seem to have varying opinions…he’s a L.A. fan to the death, and I’m just not a believer in Kobe’s antics…what do you think?

The world moves faster than ever these days, and even in the digital age, things can always be counted on to go in cycles.  Despite all of the advances in computer recording technology, home studios, and electronic instruments, there is a flourishing interest in analog recording techniques and in recreating the mood and sound of vintage soul records.  With one foot in the past but their eyes firmly set on the future, El Michels Affair are among the leaders of a resurgent funk & soul movement from New York City that’s sweeping both the music community and the charts.

Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair began as a loose collaboration of session musicians (including members of top-selling acts Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, The Budos Band, and Antibalas) that looked to blend some of the vibrant quality of soundtrack records with the recording aesthetic of early reggae, and the rawness of 60′s rock–they called it ‘Cinematic Soul.’  This delicate balance was evident on their 2005 debut album Sounding Out the City, which earned critical acclaim and acted as the inaugural full-length release for Michels and Silverman’s burgeoning label Truth & Soul (also the moniker for the duo as a production team).
