Tribute to a Legend

OVER 2000 + VIEWERS SET RECORD AT ART, BEATS + LYRICS ATLANTA

AB+L in Atlanta was a hit. The art was outrageously dope and the crowd came out to support. Artists made new fans, fans made new friends and friends got down to the essence of hip hop culture . As co-producer and artist I have to thank Jabari Graham the founding father of AB+L, the team at Images USA, Sax and Jen Farris, the folks at Jack Daniels, the super talented artist and musicians as well as all the people who came out to be part of the art movement known as AB+L.

THRILLA IN MANILA

Recently I was asked to participate in an artshow in the Philippines by the HEAVY HITTERZ. "The opening was off the hook, the gallery and block party were jam packed with folks. MTV Philippines, MYX music channel, and local publications were out to cover the event. I thought I'd share some photos of the event " stated James Garcia the shows curator and cool art dude.

NO SLEEP TILL DEUTSCHLAND

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to do an art tour in Germany. 48 hours after the AB+L show in Charlotte I was dropped off at the airport, passport in hand, ready for the 8-9 hour flight to Germany, so I thought. Due to slight drizzle (not a torrential down pour) flights were delayed causing hundreds of people to miss connecting flights to destinations around the world. Customer service lines filled with the bewildered to the bellicose and we all stood in awe at the sloth like speed in which the Continental Airline help desk staff moved. After an hour in line, or the full length of a video on my IPOD, the desk staffer gave me the "you are next" hand wave that I so wanted then to only turn it into a hand of halt as she helped someone else, back to watching my video. To make a long story short my 8 hour trip across the pond turned into a 24 hour odyssey with layovers in 2 different countries.... and they lost my bags. One good thing about layovers is the people you get to chat with. I meet 2 black female rocket scientists and when I asked how it feels to always be the smartest person in a room one laughed and said "You get use to it".

Once in Germany we (Fabian the Occasional Superstar and DJ Jamad) hit up 4 shows in 5 cities over the course 7 days while rolling at 100+ mph on the autobahn. The promoters that brought us there took great care of us and before the show in Frankfurt we had a chance to meet up with our family and friends. We met allot of really cool down to earth people who share their take on American politics, culture and the popularity of German gangster rap.

You can learn allot about a man while traveling in a van in a foreign land. For instance DJ Jamad has an insatiable appetite for ice cream and Fabian has little tolerance for DJ Jamad's insatiable appetite for ice cream. "Grown ass men ain't got no bidness lickin' on ice cream and reading GQ magazines. It just ain't right. That's in the bible" proclaimed Fabian in response to Jamad’s lactose lovin’ lifestyle. I even learned that my often radio announcer sounding voice sound completely crazy to people who speak English as a 3rd language.

We showed art, spun dope music, avoided a fight in a Turkish restaurant, blew the fuses in Berlin hotel, c-walked in Frankfurt, all while learning just enough German to make us sound like ignorant Americans….the trip was off the chain.

PLAYING THE RACE CARD NOW MADE EASY

We live in a time where the term "race card" is tossed around by the media with seeming reckless abandon. Many politician and talking heads alike use race and racism for personal gain or to advance an agenda while leaving the real everyday racism unattended and free to fuck with you at work. Finally we have a race card that every day people can play thanks to close friend and racial referee Fabian the Occasional Superstar.

Here is how it works:

Step One

Approach the offending party and reveal the Occasional Superstar RaceCard ThrowCard.

Step Two
Award the recipient a RaceCard by raising the card into plain view, illustrated side out, and flinging it down in front of them. For added effect in office environment, place RaceCard gently in pocket of suspected offender.

Step Three
Briefly explain why the person has received a RaceCard and encourage them to think about what they did.

Step Four
Turn and walk away.
