While G-funk dominated hip-hop airwaves through the 1990s, the pulse of cloak-and-dagger rap was maintained at the Good Life Café, an open-mic workshop at the corner of Crenshaw & Exposition in Los Angeles. Afterwards Freestyle Fellowship became the kickoff Good Life group to invade the national consciousness in 1991, a young duo chosen THE NONCE were their heirs apparent, seemingly primed for a breakthrough.

The vocal, "Wait At Me Mean," has a murky, uneasy vibe miles removed from 'Globe Ultimate'due south happy-get-lucky sound. For Yusef Afloat, the journey ended at historic period 28. In 2000 his torso was institute beside the 110-Freeway. Any the crusade of death, "It was devastating to me, and it affected me in a lot of different ways," Sach says. "It made me disavow the manufacture. I still wanted to make music, but I didn't know how to proceed."

Sach disappeared for a while but emerged in 2002 with 'Suckas Hate Me,' and in 2004 recorded his third solo album 'Sach 5th Ave' with producer Omid. In the years since Sach has maintained a prolific solo career, self-releasing nearly a dozen projects ranging from LPs to collaborations and instrumental tapes.

Was an honor to contribute artwork for a recent publication from Professor and authorEdward W. Soja,My Los Angeles: From Urban Restructuring to Regional Urbanization. Many thanks to contributorStefano Bloch for the recommendation.

On the Author and the book:

Edward W. Soja is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Urban Planning at Academy of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Postmetropolis: Disquisitional Studies of Cities and Regions and the co-editor of The Metropolis: Los Angeles and Urban Theory at the End of the Twentieth Century among other books.

At once informative and entertaining, inspiring and challenging, My Los Angeles provides a deep understanding of urban evolution and change over the past forty years in Los Angeles and other city regions of the earth. One time the least dense American metropolis, Los Angeles is now the country'southward densest urbanized area and 1 of the nigh culturally heterogeneous cities in the world. Soja takes us through this urban metamorphosis, analyzing urban restructuring, deindustrialization and reindustrialization, the globalization of capital and labor, and the formation of an information-intensive New Economy. By examining his own evolving interpretations of Los Angeles and the debates on the so-called Los Angeles School of urban studies, Soja argues that a radical shift is taking place in the nature of the urbanization process, from the familiar metropolitan model to regional urbanization. By looking at such concepts equally new regionalism, the spatial turn, the end of the urban center era, the urbanization of suburbia, the global spread of industrial urbanism, and the transformative urban-industrialization of Red china, Soja offers a unique and remarkable perspective on critical urban and regional studies.

Spring, 2002

When El-P was in Los Angeles promoting his now-classic solo debut album,Fantastic Harm, I was in the middle of a customizing trucker cap session.

Making one for El made sense since that was a Def Jux manner staple in the early on 2000's. During his in-store set at Amoeba Records in Hollywood I passed along the custom cap. He seemed humbled and in that moment a seed germinated.

The following night at the El Rey Theatre on Wilshire, that seed flowered equally El-P halted his performance iii/iv of the way through to grab said cap, set it on his dome like a crown, gave a shout-out to yours truly (and the balance of the auspicious Los Angeles crowd) then proceeded to rip through the last quarter of the show.

I was not personally looking for anything in return for my activeness, just a fan wishing to share my work, and so that act as way more than I expected. Many cheers and much respect to El and his fellow Def Jukies .

Illustrationsused for the Labwaste 12″ [2005]

Released on One Cell Records.

This is the second release from the Zwarte Achtegrod album.  A 12″ with 8 remixes. When Giovani (Subtitle) outset showed interest in me adding a lil something to the album I was excited. I smashed out about 4 portrait illustrations of them based on Eric Coleman's photos & just gave Sub xerox copies. I had conviction in his design sense of taste & gave him free range of usage, pro bono. Information technology was a treat to encounter what they did with them. Both Subtitle & Thavius Beck are so naturally talented & work very well together professionally and personally. It's e'er an honor to provide my services to those cats.
