So during my search for the original j-Dilla artwork, I found some oldies but goodies.  ’05 was a big year for me, and I think I just kept beastin’ it every which way I could.  Above is a design I did of DJ Replay of The Bangerz/Free School, back when I was living down in LA for a little bit.  At the time he transitioned from interning, to working at some recording studio.. except, it wasn’t just any recording studio… I remember seeing platinum record plaques of Dr. Dre’s Chronic 2001 on the wall… I remember some dood playin some beats for Ryan, and the music went straight through your chest… damn.. the chronic 2001 was recorded there?!

Another quickie painting I did back at Meezy’s, which I later gave to E-Tone, who was the illy flash programmer there.  He made my first Stablished site live.…Shouts to E-Tone. It was so dope having turntables next to my work desk.  I’ll always have a set of decks in the studio. The Vestax PMC-07 Pro was a good look too…especially with that Mindtricks sticker on it.

Me and the brotha’ Dandiggity of PLSTK/BlindI/SanJose holdin down some Sapporo’s at some fashion show in SF with the Conn533 crew…. Sup Diggity! He’s PR’ing for the upcoming brand PLSTK… and they recently got a new design studio/office also in SJ.. check their blog! PLSTK

And damn!!!!! This is extra old… I think Tommy of Universal Grammar, who’s now throwin PST with Sake1, had a night where he offered me the opportunity to do a live painting at Sofa Lounge in SJ, where the original Music Machine took place.. Damn i miss that place… illy circles went down there.. and of course dope beats by the best… Goldenchyld, Nick Ngo & the rest of the Bangerz…

And this right here is an actual PHOTO, that Dandiggity took of me, back in maybe ’04….  the first, Always Classic photo shoot.
