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.

Hip-Hop: Afu-Ra Ft. Cocoa Brovaz and Jahdan – D&D Soundclash…
I posted up a track featuring Jahdan yesterday and it reminded me of this vinyl 12″ that I spun the shit out of back in the day. The thing was, I had no idea who exactly was on the vinyl because it was a white jacket and almost white label (meaning no information as far as artist, song title, record label, etc.). All it showed was a dude doing a flying kung fu kick…
Anyway, quite a while went by before I finally found out it was: “Afu-Ra Ft. Cocoa Brovaz and Jahdan – D&D Soundclash” (year: 1999). Jahdan was ‘the reggae dude’ that I had been trying to figure out. Anyway…dope track. Still holds up after all this time.

No commentsReggae/Dubstep: Nate Mars Ft. Jahdan – Above And Beyond Dem…
What up folks? I got an email from Mr. SevenhertZ yesterday with an mp3 to check out. It was this track by Nate Mars featuring Jahdan called “Above and Beyond Dem”. It is one of those crossover tracks that could fit into both reggae and dubstep genres. Pretty cool joint, peep game:
I’ve listened to the track a few times already and it’s grown on me. One thing that I don’t dig about it is the double-time sections with Jahdan vocalizing (example is from 30 – 56 seconds). In my opinion, if Jahdan were to stick to the slower singjay style (like in the chorus) he’d be 100% solid. I’m just not a fan of his particular sound and delivery when he moves to the rugged sped up style. Anyway, a cool track and big-up to 7Htz for bringin it to our attention.

*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.
