words cant begin to describe my life..the HIP HOP scene and global scene across the world at the moment since my last post , but I must describe some stuff haha…
This past month of November I won 1st place in the Graffiti blackbook battle at the Zulu Nation Anniversary pic below is from that of myself the 2nd place winner and 2 of the judges NIC ONE and JAMES TOP…
Ive noticed alot of social change in the globe and on a personal level I have even to an extent been leaning to the talk of the times so to say…Ive been doing alot of social artwork…and in my music have started touching these taboo topics…going on the forefront of the revolutionary cause and HEAD CLASHING with a system we are all under…aside from that I took November to pay my respect to the Native Tribes that were killed by the European disease and greed when he first encountered the new world ..many people dont know but should acknowledge the fact that thanksgiving was originally a feast celebrating the genocide of the Native people of America , but given that knowledge we should be more thankful for our family and life with each new day because with all of our faults it can easily become drastically worse in an instant so be grateful and learn from human history dont lie and sugarcoat the history teach the true information to your community…
any way..below are a few videos from my most recent performances and art exhibitions featuring my work…

I recently came across a dope clothing line representing Hip HOp and I will in the future like to show you all more clothing lines , etc that are true…so check it out below I posted a short Bio and some pics of the clothing line HEADKLASH..
HEADKLASH was created by Cuebec Dillon, also known as ill Q Nitty from the infamous rap group THE CUTTHROATS. The group had one of the most memorable songs titled “STOP LOOKING AT ME” featuring the late Guru from Gangstarr on the classic, platinum selling Menace II Society movie soundtrack. Excluding all of the trials and tribulations, where a book would be in order leading up to the birth of HEADKLASH, a frame of time that ultimately included the tragic and untimely death of one of the members of the group. The core roots of the HEADKLASH movement were planted back in 2003 with the release of the self-titled song HEADKLASH, when Cue (short for Cuebec) was a managing Partner of the now defunct independent Wizzad Entertainment. Along with Cue, the track featured four other local artists, who were friends from other neighborhoods in queens and visiting family who lived in other countries. Each individual possessing a different style, such as chanting and deejaying which is a form of singing and rapping in the west-indies. The track had an infinite universal sound and message. The message is clear that we all share the same values and aspirations regardless where you’re from.
Today Cue has kept the movement alive based on the same philosophies it was nurtured, heads coming together through hip hop and making strides in life no matter what obstacles may be in the way. HEADKLASH is an inspirational brand that represents ones journey as they take on the world on a daily basis.” The HEADKLASH apparel line was inevitable” according to Cue. It was influenced by hip hop on a whole and the many other street brands on the market that are inspired by hip hop culture. Other influences go back to the middle to late 80’s and early 90’s where you saw fresh name sweatshirts and nylon jackets, to the rugged army Fatigues, Timberland boots and Carhart Jackets that reflect the rugged streets.
Headklash! Synonymous with taking life head on, having fortitude and united strength has recently launched a website and released a line of logo tees and accessories. A sports line is in the works as well.
While remaining true to the hip hop era it was raised in and representing the relentless and confident mentality of its current representatives, Headklash is a brand you won’t be able to help but notice!
