There is a lot of speculation on who is gonna be the next famous rapper coming out of the O. In the long list of many talented rappers is getting larger by the day. However, there is one that stands out in my mind. Massillon, Ohio own Stalley.
Can we please have a large round of applause for the 2010 Create and Skate winning team…LAKAI!! Yes, Lakai did it again, withe the help of director Ty Evans, and came out with an outstanding video part for the 2010 Create and Skate competition.
Here is how the competition worked. Four teams (Adidas, Lakai, Etnies, Fallen) made up of six skaters (four pros, 2 ams) had 9 days in a warehouse with the same set of obstacles, one art director, a Transworld Skateboarding photographer, and a film crew. The videos were then judged by TWS editing staff. Lakai wins.
This video is truly exception in my mind, I am sure you all will enjoy it as well!
“About a year ago, I was talking to my friend Tim in the band Ima Robot. He asked me to do a music video for their new song. I had just filmed Neckface throw a Molotov cocktail against a wall at night and loved how it looked. I transferred that idea to skaters skating burning spots from Molotov cocktails, but it was hard to pull off at real spots. But, unfortunately, Ima Robot just went independent, so they couldn’t fund it. Six months later, Rick Howard’s at my house, and we’re talking about Lakai’s yearly budget, and he mentioned that Lakai might do S&C. I showed him my idea for the music video and he was like, “Let’s do it.” I’ve said it before, but there was so much bullshit with making Fully Flared, so it was cool to have everyone psyched and not stressing about their part. It felt how the intro to FF should have felt. So it had a redeeming quality to it. In the end, Lakai used Ima Robot’s song for free, and they got a music video out of it. Funny how things come full circle.” – Ty Evans
Deathface (CHI) is hitting Ohio with his American Gothic Tour. He will be at We Bite in Columbus this Friday, and at The Bside this Sunday for The Get Up. I have been told Deathface spins murdered-out basslines with screeching synths, while throwing fake blood on the crowd. Check out the Mishka Keep Watch XIX

“yuk.’s A D W A is an album of sublime beauty. It’s a fog-shrouded vision quest through gorgeous terrains that transform from glacial to gritty as it winds its way through your ears. I feel a strong desire to loop right back to the start of this awe-inspiring journey after every listen.”

Heres some old skate photos I found on my hard drive from 2 years ago. Theyre from the old E.9th skate park in Downtown Cleveland at the North Coast Harbor, which they just recently closed but are considering opening a new park in the Flats. You can read more about that here. But Shout Outs to Skateboard Kirk, Hydrick and Duck (where ever you are).
Since today is Thrasher Tuesday, I have decided to share my favorite intro to my favorite skate film of all time, Fully Flared, which was put together by Lakai Footwearin 2007. Fully Flared was directed by Spike Jonze, Ty Evans, and Cory Weincheque, and went on to win “Best Video Of the Year” at the Transworld Skateboarding Awards. Now if only things we skated in real life would explode upon contact. Enjoy!
Two female hip hop artists have blown me away in the past week….this NEVER happens. First Candi Redds feature on LazerProof absolutely demolishes the indie/glam wave hittin the clubs over the past few years with lyrics like,
In 2009, that nigga aint my man/
he rockin a purse and wear the same size pants
and launches an all out assault on bichassness in general.
Next up, Dominique Young Unique. I cannot even summarize her swag, its crazy just listen. She will be at B Side June 23rd. Here is a link to the FB event
My dude Benny D exposed me to this unbelievable DNB group while I was studying in Rotterdam. Big ups to CHASE AND STATUS and their album MORE THAN A LOT.
