Maynard Dixon's paintings from the 1930's illuminate the crushing circumstances of living during the Great Depression. People, especially urban-dwelling individuals, are often represented with obscured faces in quasi-monochromatic portraits where the sky is barely noticeable. However, when Dixon portrays natural settings (especially those of the so-called “American West”), a world of color emerges and the sky never seems to end. In the three miniatures based on his paintings, the musical landscape of my pieces respond to his work to show the burden shouldered by common people, and how the natural splendor and hope for a better future seem unattainable to the working class, especially in times of capitalism's inevitable crisis. This piece and my interpretation of his paintings are also somewhat of a response to my recent move from Colorado to L.A., where often I feel socially and culturally isolated (as Dixon possibly felt as well moving to California), and removed from the undisturbed land and sky that nurtured my soul. I hope one day that the relationship between humans and nature can be repaired in a post-capitalist world.

WestSide Gunn: Roses are Red.... And So is Blood is artpiece I created wit the mind frame of me being locked up writing bars while I lay on a cot it gives u that laid back feeling but still aware of the dangerous settings. The Title to me means nothing in the world is perfect dont be kaught up in the illusion because everything that may seem one way might be the total opposite everybody shit stinks. The kolor Red is so beautiful, but just as it represents beauty it also represents pain, death, struggle......

The Purist & Westside Gunn - Roses Are Red.. So Is Blood

Bringing out the big guns for you lucky people, here's a truly essential piece of late 90s hip-hop history. 
A selection of classic Rawkus cuts expertly put together by the Beat Junkies... I really can't recommend this one enough. Have to give a special mention to J.Rocc and Babu - as good as the tracks are throughout, the mixing just elevates it to another level. Absolutely on point.
