Cafe Artum alongside the team at the Hockley Social Club to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop have asked me to program an event to be held in Cafe Artum on the 12th of August.
I joined the team at HSC over 2 years ago as a dj and video/photography collaborator. The owners always made it very clear to me how important it is to them that Hip hop music is represented in their venue.
My first time djing there was alongside Birmingham Veteran E Double D. So aside from me just playing there, there are many other DJs there who do play quality hip hop music. James Swindourne who is one of the owners has always been keen to get me involved in there events and has been watching and paying attention to my journey for many years now and alongside Jayson Wynters from Cafe Artum they have been programming with their team led by Andrew Milford and George been putting on some very intersting cultural events in the Cafe Artum Space.
August the 12th to mark and celebrate 50 years of hip hop I will be screening a version of my film alongside my guests DJ Sparra ( Former DMC Champion) and tha 4Orce ( recording artist). The Event will start at 2pm and the film shall start 2.30 pm sharp. The film is 96 min long and then be followed by a quesions and answers with my self and my guests.

For the last 2 years I have not been able to speak about this project. Mainly because it was too hard to believe it was actually happening. The country had gone into lockdown and the world came to a halt as the pandemic first struck. I was put onto furlough. Asked to remain at home to stay safe while the government works on a plan to contain the virus.
Whilst at home I threw myself into my creative work, taking full advantage of the time at home. There came a time when the people in charge of this country put an end to the lockdown and allowed people to return to some sort of normality. Gatherings were limited and people still had to social distance. I was at a BBQ in london. The host of the event came to me and showed me a pair of sneakers that took me by surprise. I was a little offended that I had not had a pair sent to me due to my friendship with the artist. I was pissed off.
Returning home after the BBQ I was still feeling a certain way. I sketched out an Ewing Sneaker and created a sneaker inspired by the Album Funk Your Head Up by the Ultramagnetic M.C’s. I liked the style of how the guys dressed on that LP cover. I like Timberlands. I created a fake advert as if the sneaker was real. I showed my friend Marc Davis who has been a colleague and long time collaborator. Both of us are not only fans of the group but over the years have worked with the group as well. I have real friendships with all members of the group.
I fooled Marc with the advert, he thought it was a real sneaker. We decided to send the advert to whoever was running Ewing Athletics. After some time we discovered David Goldberg is running the brand. We contacted him and within an hour David contacted us setting up a meeting stating he wants to make this sneaker.
I remember thinking, is this for real?. After a discussion with David and Marc we decided to create something to mark 35 years of Critical Beatdown. David graciously asked me to come up with some designs for the sneaker to present. We used the Rouge Sneaker. The reason I went with that was that I was thinking back to the guy’s interest in the Star Wars original movies. Rebel Base comes to mind. After agreeing on the design we discussed the packaging. Again David left it to me to have full creativity on the box design and paper. This led to me and Marc looking at the opportunity to do something very special here and came up with the idea to put an album together to go with the sneaker. A Vinyl LP was too big to fit into the box so together with David we agreed to package the Sneakers with a cassette tape. Marc Reached out to TR Love who presented a live performance recording. Marc got the tape mastered and passed onto me to select and edit the piece to be used. I also got to design the cassette artwork . I chose to put the sneaker on the cover to cement the package and that in years to come anyone that has this cassette, will know it is paired with a sneaker.
We then went into a meeting with Kool Keith which CedGee later Joined. Me and Marc presented the project to him which took him by surprise. The story behind how it came about impressed keith. So much so i remember when Ced Joined the meeting he said Ced, Pritt tell him how you made this happen. Ced could not stop laughing. I won’t forget that meeting. Lots of great energy.
We went into a further Zoom meeting, introducing David to both Ced and Keith. David later met them in person. Some months later David sent over the first pictures of the prototype sneaker. It looked awesome. They kindly sent me the first prototype of the shoe. It was not a pair. Only one shoe was made. I can’t explain the feeling when that box arrived and I opened a box containing a show I designed off the back of what was a fake advert. A very proud moment.
We have kept quiet about the project fearing it may not happen. But it is. As you read this, on this day the sneaker is released to the public. Look out for the special limited edition pack with the cassette for all the die-hard Ultra fans. Yesterday. I had a meeting with David where he showed me the box. I have not received my pair yet. I would be lying if I said I am not excited to get my pair. You can order your pair here.
Off the back of these Sneakers me and Marc Davis have formed a partnership under the banner THE BUSY BODIES after one of my favourite Laurel and Hardy Movies. Both of us have a long history in this Hip Hop culture and both have been on our own journeys. We both run record labels and have been friends for what is now about 20 years. We have already completed our second sneaker with Ewing Athletics which will be released at a later date. Working with David is a real pleasure. His heart is in the culture and has a passion and respect for our ideas and creativity. We keep the business very simple and we create something special.
Do check out this interview with fellow label owner Ray West of Red Apples. I was first introduced to him through A.G of Showbiz and A.G fame. Together they launched their label Red Apples. Over the years Ray has certainly been one of the very few producers you can truly say has created his own signature sound that has gotten better and better over the years. When so many people can look at the artists such as Dilla who possibly is the catalyst of everything that came after. There are artists such as Madlib and RIP Doom who both came with their own sound that you can identify with. I think people have really missed the boat on Ray West.
When I was first introduced to him. The sound he brought was the first time I ever heard it. I’m so set in my ways on the first listen, I didn’t give it a chance. After listening and paying attention to him I started to appreciate his sound. The project with O.C Rays Cafe I think was a definitive turning point and since then his sound nobody comes close. Ray is a very gifted producer. I saw this interview with him posted yesterday. Thanks to Powaful Impak Network for doing this interview.
Mickey has been a long time supporter and collaborator with me and the team at KOTB. I was and still am a huge fan of the second Main Source LP, F What you think. The Album featured the Legendary Queens M.C. Former Sleeping Bag artist who recorded with the Engineering and Producer giant that was Paul C (RIP). Along side their DJ Johnny Quest they released a line of hit singles including ‘My Telephone’ and ‘Comin in the House’.
Back in 2008 on a trip to NYC I met up with Mikey to film him for the project that I later released as ‘Memories of Paul C McKasty’. A year later he was on a plane here to the UK after I was able to bring him over to the UK with the help of Kev De Kosta and the Brighton Hip Hop festival.
Over the years regularly we communicate, as friends and fellow artists, we help each other obtain and achieve our goals.
Mikey recently has ventured into building his brand Pass the Torch where his aim is to bridge the gap between generations of artists and creativity. Slowly creating a community where together we can all learn from each other’s experiences and ideas.
He has been putting the spotlight on artists that came before him that most of us may not of heard about. People, who influenced, guided him throughout his career.
If you are interested in hearing about the man and the conversations he has with the many guests Mikey features on his show Follow his Channel.
I got to join Mikey for one of his live feeds as a guest. It was a good experience.
Tha 4orce returns with Big Cakes as they revisit their hustler’s anthem, Revolve Around Science Remix continues that hard boom bap and straight facts that most would come to expect from these two heavyweights in the art of beats,, rhymes and cuts.
If you have been checking out the new releases by Tha 4orce you may of noticed we have been remixing the videos two. This was shot 3:30 am Sunday morning in the freezing wet weather. I really like 4orces dedication and determination to get these videos done. He turns up to the shoot car loaded with Turntables and drum machines. Very few people have that focus, there are a lot of lessons to be learnt by his work ethics.
Thanks to all those supporting buying his project. Look forward to dropping the LP Setting Standards 3 Later this year.
We would like to thank the Team at Minima based in the Hockley area of Birmingham City for supporting me as a Birmingham City Independent Artist, by stocking our latest works.
Minima is a very contemporary home furniture and lighting store selling some very stylish and unique pieces. I first went there after Mr Wynters invited me there for a pop-up store he was having at the location.
The Owner and Staff were very friendly and interested in some of the things I was involved in. I felt our book and Shaw Theatre Project would be a suitable product to fit into their line of products.
I can see some pop up events and Collaborations happing in the future. If you are in the City and would like to get a copy of the Lp or Book. Pop into Minima you won’t be disappointed.
‘For those of you that are unaware, the King of the Beats label has released a rare Hip-Hop jam from 1985 on vinyl. What’s special about ut is that it was the first time major Hip-Hop acts from the Bronx, New York shared a stage with some of the best Hip-Hop performers from the UK’s fledgling scene.
As more than a few people have pointed out recently, in my 35+ years doing what i do, I’ve pioneered a few things. Things which were considered ‘game-changers’. Such as;
1) I was the first writer to have a tag that was exclusively calligraphic.
2) I came up with the term ‘Calligraffiti’ in 1983.
3) I was the first writer on this side of the Atlantic to have an aerosol piece on billboards all over the country.
4) In 1994, I wrote, produced, & directed a feature-length documentary on Aerosol Culture called ‘Get The Message’. As far as i know, at that point, no writer had done that (Still I’ll not forget the work of writers like Kilo with his ‘Visual Graffix’ vids that were crucial in documenting the train scene).
5) As far as I know, I’m the first writer to literally spray-paint record covers for an album release. Not have paintings turned into printed covers like what Futura 2000 did for the Celluloid label in the 80’s but literally paint the covers so that each buyer has a piece of my art for themselves.
Swipe through the pics to Check it out.
Huge Thanks to Pritt & Marzena K – @magentadk who took the awesome pics! & Of course the guys at AM Screen Printing in Redditch for use of their space!
I couldn’t have done it without you all!‘
