deadstock

See I wasn’t the only one having trouble with the audio at the Deadstock Sneaker Convention at Club Touch in NYC a few weekends back, shouts to Digital Hustle Films for the video since I didn’t get to see it. I showed up around 2:30, right when I thought Nando would be going on, but realized he had already performed because of the confusion surrounding when and if artists were to perform. As you can tell from the video, the mic and sound system were struggling all day but you can still make out what is being spit most of the time. Props to Nando for the girls dancers and choreographed routine too, now I wish I was a rapper.

Previously: Deadstock DMV Cypher (Video)

This past Sunday I got to attend the Deadstock sneaker convention and see some DMV and NYC artists perform so I grabbed my friend’s camera to tape part of it (shouts to JM). After some confusion and some artists not getting to do their sets, they let the artists do a 10 minute cypher passing the mic around but thanks to some editing I have narrowed it down to the artists I knew haha. Lyriciss, Nando, Emperess, Cayan and Pro’Verb all get on the mic and spit some great lines over instrumentals like “Shook Ones Pt. II” and “Lark On My Go-Kart”. Despite the craziness, it was a good event, everyone got to see some cool sneakers, some great performances (of the artists that had sets that I got to see, I was digging Cause and Emilio Rojas) and meet cool people. Sorry about the audio, but only had a picture camera (instead of a video camera) recording but it still is pretty good.
