The PROF and MC KARLIS @ Open Studios Nov 20, 2010. (Minus -5 C)
FFG has had a pretty charged couple of weekends. As you can see above, we were commissioned to freestyle outside the infamous blue party hosted at Open Studios. The Sweet Soul Girls created a wicked atmosphere of SASStacularity that night. MC Karlis (within 2 hrs of the event) fashioned a new more portable soundbike/soundsystem set-up that could loaded onto the back of his panner rack. It was working fine, until the the gell cells frosted over and the beats slowed till they froze. So, we upped our game and beatboxed the rest of the night. it was dope.
This past weekend, Transformation Projects (Andrea Curtis and I) produced an art/performance installation at the Russian Hall called : NOW TOWN CULTURE LOUNGE. We had a saturday afternoon a "Living Room Cypher". We got a lot of people up to rap that have never rapped before. that is part of the mission of FFG. We believe that EVERYONE can freestyle. And so we motivate new people to get on the mic alot. It is wicked to see people bust out lyrics and stories from their unique perspectives. Especially people who are not as heard from in public social forums. Pics from the cypher are forthcoming. For now, here are some pics from the last couple of weeks.
