Scheme & DJ Scend- 2 Turntables & A Mic

2011-05-03T12:41:00.002-05:00

Scheme and DJ Scend start off their "Two Turntables and a Mic" Series with a dedication to L.E.S.

This is a straight to the point concept. Dope beats, a mic, and two turntables. Scheme and DJ Scend wanted to show respect to the great artists that have inspired them through out the years and wanted to bring to the forefront the DJ and the MC once again. They want to keep this series as raw and straight forward as possible. No gimmicks. Just rhymes and beats.

Expect the videos to drop, followed by the audio track and artwork the following week beginning May 3rd.

This will be going on for many many weeks to come.

KR-All In My Head Book

2011-04-30T15:17:00.002-05:00

KR is Brooklyn, NY based artist Craig Costello. KR has been involved in the graffiti scene in NY for the last 10+ years and among other things is responsible for the drippy silver dye you see all over the mailboxes there. As you can see in the book, he also throws up some rather large Roller Letter pieces. Included are some pieces thrown up with fellow New York legend ESPO, author of ’The Art Of Getting Over’. He spent a few years in San Fran in the early 90’s and was responsible for bringing the drip style to the Bay Area. Apart from the street art, Craig works with many other mediums including paint, photography and product design. His work has appeared in such magazines as Relax, Jane, The Source and Art In America. Apart from Its All In My Head, KR’s work has also appeared in graffiti books, The Art Of Getting Over, Scrawl and Autograf. KR is also the man behind KRINK, handmade (by Craig himself) permanent black and silver inks. KRINK makes markers and applicators for tagging but as KR said at the signing, "you can use the ink for whatever you want." This included a special edition alife/KRINK t-shirt. The
