Freddy was playing one of those big spin wheel games and he won, but it was one of those games where you could win really big prizes. They had washing machines, TVs, and … Read more
Most of you already know that in the first issue of our magazine we did an article on CLOWN the founder of T.I.T.S crew. When we put the issue together, we had a lot of east coast content and we wanted to do something on a west coast writer. CLOWN immediately came to mind. Everyone here at the mag referenced him as a major inspiration, especially since most of the … Read more

I found a video of you doing a live set with Morcheeba from England. That bugged me out. It got me so amped up because I would never have expected seeing that combo. A lot of times artists stick to what they know and are too scared to do collaborations with artists outside their genre. … Read more

AEST’s graffiti interest started in a somewhat generic, funny way as he explains with a southern drawl, “Mang, I remember when I was a kid, I used to get my haircut at this barber shop and there was this hip hop, skyline, b-boy character thing they had going on. I never knew who did it, … Read more

For the past 25 years Derek Riggs has supplied us with countless images of the most well know monster in heavy metal history, Eddie Maiden. Eddie has transformed Iron Maiden into a merchandising giant. The attraction to Eddie is as strong today as it was with his first appearance in 1979. Riggs is opinionated, upfront, and … Read more

I came across a great interview today on SLAMXHYPE, with Erik Brunetti of FUCT. Over the years I haven’t kept up too much as to what was going on in the street wear world. Recently I started to gain an interest again and obviously I went back to what I knew as a kid, FUCT, SSUR, FRESHJIVE, and X-LARGE. Anyway, it seems like Erik doesn’t do a lot of interviews, … Read more

D-Nice has been putting out these videos for a while now, they are called True Hip-Hop Stories. I might have posted one up in the past, but Chip actually brought them to my attention once again. They are really well put together, both the video quality and content is on point. It is refreshing to watch a hip-hop interview and not listen to some thugged out bull shit. I posted … Read more

Just came home to a batch of our first figure, Eyeball Kid by Chip 7. The molds and paint job came great. The mold maker did a good job preserving all the detail which was my biggest concern.
