Alexander Spit - “Hella”

mrhalliday — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:38:21 +0000

I havent posted on here in awhile, so for that, I apologize - I’ve been busy working at a new job.

But this is worth posting.

Alexander Spit is set to release his highly anticipated album sophomore album Until Next Summer later this month. The album mixes your usual fast-paced, up-tempo, and eerie production that you can expect from any Alexander Spit album. At the same time the album couples standard Spit with a new genre yet to be heard within the Rap community. Yet again the album is presented by world-famous clothing brand The Hundreds who has continued to support Spit and his growing career. With a recent move to Los Angeles from home-town San Francisco, Spit has turned over a new page in his life and the momentum behind this twenty-two year old MC looks unstoppable.

The first single off the album “Hella” is now available for FREE download below, and if you continue to scroll down you will see the albums track-listing and art-work.

Spit thanks you for your continued support, and check back frequently for more album details.

Release party’s for the album will be held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York over the course of August.

I present on Thursday and can’t reveal much, but here’s a quick shot he took of one of our models / brand ambassador Thomas Roche.

If you are familiar with some of the people I have been working with while I’ve been in San Francisco then you have definitely heard me mention the name Cambo. Cameron Bartolini, as he is better known amongst his friends, has been working on his first solo project for a few months now and the below is the first single he is releasing with The Life.

“Cat Like Me” mixes hip-hop with soul, funk, R&B, and rock n’ roll to make a truly unique sound. Cambo & The Life will be releasing one single per month for the next year and each single will include a unique digital cover created by a national artist. Check out the below song and stay tuned for future releases and upcoming shows.

The Tenderloin Project on Meds

mrhalliday — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 19:49:53 +0000

Medicine Agency is proud to present the first official exhibition of photographs by San Francisco based photographer Sean Desmond. The show will feature a collection of 35 photographs from Desmond’s ongoing Tenderloin Project, a portrait in film and photography of San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood. To many, the Tenderloin is a poor and stigmatized area, to be avoided if possible, rushed through if necessary. As a point of departure, Desmond and the Tenderloin Project withstand such stereotypes and enter the neighborhood with eyes open and active intent.

The images that emerge transcend a mere documentation of what we could all see if we only looked. We witness the Tenderloin through Desmond’s interaction with it, a process explicated in the Project’s films and evident in each photograph. Portraits of the neighborhood’s marginalized dwellers stand alongside portraits of the streets themselves, all—dwellers and streets, alike—caught in the act of living. The starkness of the black and white photography upholds the starkness of the locale, while magnifying the countervailing warm welcome of the subjects and vibrant animation all around. The viewer enters the Tenderloin with Desmond, with the objectivity of an outsider, and is left with the tension of intimacy, raw and tender.

Desmond’s San Francisco show will mark the first official exhibition of his work from the Tenderloin Project. The show will then travel to select U.S. cities, where Desmond’s penetrating images will give broader audiences a personal introduction to understanding what life is like in the Tenderloin.

A portion of proceeds from the show will be donated to Hospitality House’s Community Art’s Program, the only free-of-charge fine arts studio for homeless and poor artists in San Francisco. Promoting and giving access to art in the Tenderloin, Desmond feels, will allow his project to live on in the community for years and generations to come.

The show will also feature collaborative pieces by a variety of artists from the Bay Area and beyond, including Mike Giant, Greg Mike, Mark Bode, Apex, Oliver Black and others, with an exclusive silk-screened show poster by Sean Desmond with Mike Giant.

SF-based clothing brand Black Scale will also be releasing their second run of t-shirts and first run of pull-over hoodies featuring original photographs from the Tenderloin Project.
