Rapospective; Menace to the Free World | Convicts - Convicts (Rap-A-Lot records 1991)

Rapospective youtube channel Constructed behind a trail of destruction from the Geto Boys, Convicts—consisting of Big Mike and Mr. 3-2 —was the next group from an ascendant Rap-A-Lot Records. But with their debut (and only) album, a self-titled LP released in 1991, they were more than just another troublesome unit from Houston. The Convicts, true to their name, were primed for enacting absolute terror: whether in the pen or in the so-called “free world.” And their often overlooked audio statement proved to be a little more influential and groundbreaking than it’s given credit for. #convicts #rapalotrecords #5thward #getoboys #bigmike #mr32 CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: Welcome to the Free World 02:28 Preparing for the Pen 03:00 CONVICTS Review 15:48 Out of Time for a Second Album 18:14 Outro: Parole Denied SELECTED REFERENCES AND RESOURCES: Billboard.com. https://www.billboard.com Caldwell, Brandon. “One Day: Remembering Mr. 3-2, The Governor & Wicked Buddah Baby.” Houston Press.

Atelier Oblivion - The Graffiti Video (Oslo graffiti) RE-UP!!!!!!! ft. Wane COD / Much VTS / Goal AIO / DOC TC.5 / Give IMOK / Crime Empire / High After Sunrise / ALL crew and more

Atelier Oblivion - The Graffiti Video (Oslo graffiti) RE-UP!!! Two years ago, Goal started a huge art project decorating the defunct premises of Jøtul foundries with enormous graffiti paintings along with more than 50 different artists. Throughout the ages, graffiti painters have been looking for abandoned premises where you can stand to paint undisturbed, sheltered from the weather, the enormous premises at Kværnerbyen in Oslo were the perfect starting point for a project that would attract artists from Norway and abroad. During the period of the project, paintings by more than 50 different artists were listed to paint enormous paintings on the 8,000 square meters of walls that surrounded the building over three floors. The premises are now closed and darkened in anticipation of being demolished and it is no longer possible to see the artworks. This book is the only thing left of this monumental art project.
