Graffiti: Random Pics From Puerto Rico…
A buddy of mine went to Puerto Rico a little while back and happened to snap some pictures of this wall. A little bit of a bummer not to be able to see the ‘big picture’, but cool none the less. *The pictures are ‘full size’ so expect a little slower load time.

Art: Jeff Soto “Off The Wall”…
*While Jeff Soto was in NY, Friends With You visited with him and caught some footage of a wall mural he was working on. Jeff was in town for his solo show āLife Cycleā at Jonathan LeVine Gallery and talks on camera about his background, the creative process behind the show, his future plans, and much more.

No commentsHip-Hop: Artifacts – Wrong Side of Da Tracks – 1994…
Another classic hip-hop joint from the 1990′s:
I remember when I first saw this video way back then. I was a hardcore writer and this shit was crazy inspiration. Folks were like, “Finally, some hip-hop that is speaking specifically to us writers.” I’m pretty sure I went out immediately after seeing it…hehehe.

Info: The Artifacts are a throwback hip-hop duo from Newark, NJ. Their music reflects and emphasizes three of the four elements of true hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, and their specialty, graffiti writing or “bombing”; both Tame One and El the Sensei are proficient at all three. With unique styles that play off each other well, Tame and El’s graf-rap was well-received by underground audiences and continued in the Jersey rap tradition of Redman and Lords of the Underground. The crew scored an underground classic with their debut single in 1994, “Wrong Side of The Tracks,” serving notice to their graffiti bombing missions and their Jersey heritage. The debut album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, followed soon afterward. Tight, funky production provided the duo’s B-boy stance the chance to take shape. Although it contained more of the same, the 1996 follow-up album, The Art of Facts, was not nearly as successful critically, getting lost amid the burgeoning kingpin gangster attitude of Jay-Z and Nas. The Artifacts were hard-nosed backpack hip-hoppers in the halcyon days of hip-hop’s golden age revisited, before hip-hop’s mainstream explosion and the elevating gangster hardcore style that led to the violent deaths of Tupac Shakir and Notorious B.I.G. The duo split in 1997 and now release singles as solo artists.
No commentsGraffiti: TMD Crew – Youthline House…
Here’s a little something that Askew and friends (TMD Crew) painted up. The Youthline House…which I think is in New Zeland(?). Peep the amount of colors used…hehehe:
Here’s a note from Askew about this piece:
“All up I think it took 3.5 months, not full time but just plugging away over most weekends. It was (in order) Me, Berst, Ryze, Saves, Pest5, Deus, Mark and Kost. The photo maybe doesnāt do the size of it justice but none of our pieces could be done while standing direct on the ground. It was pretty much all done in can except some roller fill in the clouds. I hate to think how many cans we used but Iām pretty certain Berst and I alone used in excess of 120 cans each.”
