LOS ANGELES GRAFFITI, MC AND GRAFFITI MASTERS STROE AND RAKAA | Classic Burners S1 E8 

Peace to Skill, Ultra, and the entire Classic Burners crew for sending the invitation! Peace to my brother Stroe One, to UTI and STP, and to my C2D and Dilated Peoples families.

Dilated was my favorite group from the first time I heard 3rd degree!! Great time for LA underground hip hop, but really the golden era of underground hip hop. From Cali (LA, Oxnard-madlib and loot pack, Fresno-planet Asia, the Bay-souls, hiero, to New York the music was amazing!!

All right Classic Burners!!! " Y'all got another one" This is a dope interview and it's pretty cool because it covers some fresh perspectives that I haven't seen or heard flushed all the way out on any of the podcasts lately or in the past few years. CHOICE r.i.p, and the homie CASTRO along with CRE8 and my brother ENKone shared some quality life experience shed stories about LER r.i.p and KEEN and others that play the part in the CCA CMA history in SC, I found it refreshing to hear STROE' s breakdown of his writing experience and the diverse spectrum of his networks. I recall seeing RAKAA in the early era of the '90s up at HEX's shop and then around here and there as he would develop more in the music scene with his partner EV. Hearing Rakaa's upcoming in the graffiti world from his experiences gave me some insights to a degree of where his perspective derived from, it was really a great opportunity for the world to get to know that two artists a little better and where they're references are drawn from. Also it was pretty dope reminiscing back to the good life days and when scenarios like SKILL mentioned about VOLUME 10 debuting his single. Shout out to SP MAGAZINE AND HIP HOP STOLE CHRISTMAS!! SHOUT OUT TO ALL THOSE MENTIONED, AND NOT MENTION IN THE INTERVIEW WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE SCENE AND REPPED THAT WEST COAST'ISM!!

💥💥Sick show!! That freestyle at the end hella fire. Also i see OILeR on the wall. Could this mean an interview coming soon? 🤘🏼
