DETROIT BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT/SPRAY MIGRATION



IF YOU DON'T KNOW PLEASE GET HIP. All you Michigan (and everyone else that has a brain) natives know the D is in a dire position, especially with recent budget cuts that have eliminated majority of the police force and educational staff. With that said, and I quote, DETROIT IS ON THE RISE. In the past couple years Detroit has been going through what is known as the Detroit Beautification Project, in which urban framers and artist have taken over unused and abused land and turned it into something beautiful. 

I've been saying this for months, but my dreams/thoughts have finally come true. Non-local graffiti artist are starting to finally realize that Detroit is the new epicenter for graffiti. International artist such as Ces, Revok, Steel, Nekst Reyes, Sever, Knows, Smash, Risk, Omens, Klor and Shank  (to name a few) have all left their art around the D in the past few weeks. With this recent graffiti migration occurring, we will only be lucky if we are left with the mark of Banksy, Space Invader, Sevnth, or even MBW. All I'm saying is if your complaining about not having anything to do this summer...go explore our beautiful city and see what it has to offer.

*Disclaimer* If you do decide to listen to me and wonder down to the D... lol please know few things, it's like the wild west down where you'll find these art pieces...so definitely know where your at...GPS if needed... don't run out of gas... and lol dont worry about the cops because the small amount of them are actually dealing with real sh*t (being that there are limited police enforcement that means be even more careful..don't be dumb.. because the only people that will be looking for you when you go missing are your mommy and daddy.)

MUSIC VIDEO: SWIZZ BEATZ FT. A$AP ROCKY - STREET KNOCK



Swizz Beatz offers up the visuals to his and A$AP's latest track, Street Knock. Being that this is Swizz's video, of course there is an obnoxious amount of Reebok promo and even cameo's from Allen Iverson and Jadakiss. In case your wondering, the video takes place in New York and yes that's a Telsa Roadster. Music Video produced by TAJ TPK FILM.

SHOTS BY TERRY RICHARDSON: RIHANNA

If your not familiar with the legendary celebrity photographer, Terry Richardson, then do yourself a favor and either google the photographer or check out the Kate Upton catdaddy video. Needless to say, Richardson has a knack of getting some of the sexiest females celebs to express themselves artistically. More recently, Richardson was able to get some monochromatic still of the beautiful Rihanna. Very classy and seductive, in my opinion. Side-note – Ri Ri definitely wants her cake..
