The Movements'.......

You guessed it: Moving.

I got wind of this video clip of me that was on you tube. I must say I was impressed. I didn't know I sounded so much like an MC. It was nice to see. I hope you enjoy it. Because of this clip I'm gonna perform more.



My next performance will be at the next "Super Heroes and Rockstars". Check the WB event calendar at

Its been a Long time, shouldnt've left you.....

Let me begin by saying...


I hope everyone is well rested... cause I know I aint! Im too busy movin, and if you happen to be well rested that means you can't possibly be movin' wit me, hah. So lets fix that. Tonight our good friends Jason Reynolds and Griffin are having a screen printing party at the Leo Kesting Gallery. Not only will there be great art and beeeeautiful people, there will also be drinks and best part of all is...its a printing party so, bring a shirt, jacket or any other article of clothing you'd like to get tricked out.
The movement is moving.
Move with me-

****BLCK****

There's this dope project I'm a part of. Its called "BLCK". And If your black, and aspire to be anything worth being...you need to 'be' here.
(I cut and pasted the info, so if it doesn't sound like my writing....you guessed it...Its not. )

RSVP People! And fast! There's probably like 5 seats left.

FRSH Pulp Sponsored Event
BLCK Premier + Panel Discussion
Hosted by I.M.G + Nakeya B. Photography

Learn. Network. Build. Success is a combination of who you know and what you know. Who you know can open the door and what you know keeps you there and can take you beyond. BLCK is about sharing experiences, gaining new insights and networking with each other so we can all take our aspirations to the next level.

The focus of BLCK is to not exclude other races but to celebrate + acknowledge the accomplishments of four young Black men and share in their experiences. There are so many successful men of color changing the game and making a difference; this is a glimpse of four.

TreVZ Producer. Kareem Black Photographer. Anthony Hudson Associate. Anslem Samuel Journalist.

BLCK will be presented in the form of an exhibit, which will consist of photographs + excerpts from interviews, and a moderated discussion that will explore the role of minorities (past, present and future) in media, music, advertising, marketing and business as well as each individuals journey to where they are now + their contribution to their field.

Also being featured in the same space is Nakeya B., "One Woman, Many Men"

A collection of eight black and white portraits of black men as seen through the eyes of a black woman. This specific perspective is one that has been underrepresented since photography's invention. The images explore the notion of trust and how the factors of race and gender influence them. "One Woman, Many Men" also serves as a platform to deconstruct the "White male" exclusivity associated with photography historically.

Seating is VERY limited and priority will be given to those who RSVP and then on a first come, first seat basis.

BLCK
Monday, May 4
Creative Pier Arts Center, 833 Broadway @ 13th Street
Exhibit opens @ 7PM
Discussion begins @ 8:30PM

There is a $10 donation at the door and light refreshments will be served.
To RSVP, send an email to awright@theimgway.com

Maybe Crack aint so Wack?

...Cause this dudes on Fire!!!



The 'Gay Crackhead' is such a strange but matrimonial Dynamic....

GEEK TO THE BEAT!

Ight so....whilst "Jloggin" (joggin through blogs), I stumbled across this gem. It's funny how the whole blog thing can sometimes be an Alice in Wonderland experience of sorts. Speaking of which, I must say, I love the Approach and creative execution of this video. Mind you, I dont know this guy, never heard of him but....this was a good Introduction. I will definitely look into more of his music.
My faithful audience I present to you:

You Low Down Dirty....Skank?

Yes that's right. Skank, or Skanin' to be exact.

Skankin' is what you do 2 a.m. in a London club drunk off of the intoxicating percussion and baseline of what is known as Funky House. I know, we've put you on to this already. But lets take it a step further. See there's rules to dis ting, yeh. You have have different kinds of skankin, yeh git me yeh? For now I'm gonna take you through two types of skankin. Tribal Skank, and Migrane Skank. Shout out to my mate Dubbyoo', whose blog I jacked this sht off of (thats one a' my London fam).
NY!? Its about time we start comin' up with our own dances!

Well here goes:





Hah! Biggups to London. Man is really on dis ting!




And just in case you forgot...or missed it....This is the Official Video

"Ladies!"

THE MOVEMENTS MOVIN'!

Ight sooo.....

As you know...or probably don't know, your boy RIPMC'izzle has been out in London connecting the dots. And yes, the image is looking a lot clearer now. I am declaring a full on TAKEOVER. Yes. Mark your Calendar because the Writers Block Movement will be taking over UK for a week.
My agenda in going to London was to shop for venues, and to broaden my network/meet people.

Mission. Accomplished.

I must say I've met a lot of new and very cool artistic individuals, and also, I had the opportunity to develop an even better relationship with those that I met on my first Exodus to the UK. Twice Ive had people in the street tell me either "Are you a poet? Yeah, I saw you perform a few months back" and "Writers Block! Writers Block! I thought you went back to NY?!"

Mission. Accomplished.

As for the venue...heheheh. Lets just say I landed us a gig at one of the most prominent venues in the whole of London. Yes folks. We will be holding a Writers Block Event at the world famous:

CARGO

God is good. Peep the specs....



Yeah I know.....


I know.......

Yeah......Yeah. Its Done. Post over.

Writers Block Week Takeover (Sept 16th-22nd).
Writers Block x Cargo London(Sept. 23rd)
Oh and did I mention that the Writers Block Week takeover also falls during London's Fall Fashion Week? Heheheh.
Order your passports.
Get ya money up.
The Movements Movin'.
Move wit me-

Hmmmmm.....? ok. Kanye+Cudi

Oops! Wrong pic...




Okay, here we go! Kanye + Cudi
+
Common

The industries a funny place. And artist are funny people. This song to me is like when your Pastor, First Elder, or Deacon tries to crack a sexually charged joke that doesn't go over too well. Like, "nice joke but....just sounds quite weird coming from you...". I like the way they flipped the sample though....

Now, let's not get it twisted. I love gettin' head....
(when she knows what she's doin....cause, I'm picky wit mine).
And this is the anthem
...?

i poke her face - kid cudi ft kanye west & common
