"the project addresses complex economic, political and social realities facing the modern Nigerian man. Presented through masking and the conventions of portraiture, the project explores the idea that people have an exaggerated and misleading idea of freedom - a "freedom" they know nothing about. The photo series presents freedom in its rawest form, developing on the notion and reality of freedom with respect to the average Nigerian male."

The photo series will be released in full in early 2010, you can have a look at a few more unseen images at www.interplanetarians.com

This is an experimental Hip Hop opera with an all star cast. Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z, Ghostface, Raekwon, Samuel Jackson, Laurence Fishburne and Delroy Lindo. It's a crime drama/coming of age tale of three ficticious characters growing up in a crime ridden city. The project explores the icon of the gangster in modern media and weaves musical history and gangster film history into an operatic music based story of brotherhood and survival. An homage to 90's New York Hip Hop, "City of Gods Son" is the redefinition of the remix featuring legendary soul singer Joe Bataan.

Text taken from the Scotsman.
SCOTLAND takes justifiable pride in a history of invention that has given the world the telephone, television, radar, penicillin and even cloned sheep. But now there are claims that the land of Burns and bagpipes is also the ancestral home of rap music.

Academics insist that the roots of the bombastic form of spoken-word music stem from the taverns of medieval Scotland rather than the mean streets of the Bronx and Brooklyn. They claim the contemporary art of the rap battle is a direct descendant of the ancient Caledonian art of 'flyting', where feuding opponents settled scores by trading ever more elaborate insults.

According to the theory, Scottish slave owners took the tradition with them to the United States where it was adopted and developed by the slaves themselves, emerging many years later as rap. American academic Professor Ferenc Szasz is convinced there is a clear link between the robust verbal feuds of old Scotland and the rap contests of the contemporary United States.

Times are a changing, our beloved Highstreet is getting glossier by the day. Woolworthless has gone and numerous contenders line up for their turn on the chopping block. But with demise comes re-invention and none more ridiculous than Norwich Union and it's Blockbuster name change. It's positively desperate featuring a ramshackle bunch of celebrity endorsement. Bruce Willis, Dame Edna and Ringo Starr take us on a Hollywood style name change. It's beyond weird. what's next? maybe Rumblelows come back with American investors and put out an advert in-between celebrity big brother with Samuel L Jackson selling dishwashers through biblical threat to a regional families or Bradford & Bingley change their name to Brad-Bing with Brad Pitt and the gay one who married Monica on friends holding hands and skipping down the street to Bradford & Bingleys new Aerosmith penned jingle.

This bothers me greatly

Flirta D

my girlfriend once skipped school with her mates to go and stand outside what they thought was Damons house which was round the corner from where they grew up. All was good, they stood, speculated and sang songs outside his house. They weren't completely sure it was his home but found a cassette on the floor which had 'The Fall' on it so between them came to the conclusion that it must be Damons abode as cool tapes are scattered on his porch. All was swell until the rudegirl leader of their rival gang snitched when saw they weren't in P.E and parental and education punishment ensued.

so with news of a return of Blur and in recognition of bog standard comprehensive secondary school days and the memories that go with them here's Blur along time ago talking about tommorrow.

Oh No

Forget about Dostoevsky, Beckett, Dickens or even that long list of Nobel prize winners for literature because Swiss from So Solid crew has entered the written word world with an enigmatically entitled book called 'Spot the Difference".

Surrounded by puzzle and trivia books in Amazons list of books parents have been caught off guard when discovering the puzzle book they thought they bought for little Sebastian and Chloe is actually a self help guide to navigating through inner city life as a youngster. Parents became suspicious when their kids Au Pairs started noticing the children talking about the merits of community involvement, arguing about explicit content in urban music and what colour Audi TT they want.

Back II Life blogger Mo has knocked out another big video to sit along side his swelling back catalogue. Big up Agatha the Scorpion for performing on the day and Jane at the pet shop in Plymouth who sent him in the post at short notice in time for the shoot.

Silverspoon Attire Spring/Smmer 09

"...structured and tailored garments that can go from the Sofa to the Hottest Restaurant or from a Downtown Club to Killer House Party and back again, without ever looking out of place."

Silverspoon Attire is London based design duo Damian and Avigail who produce amazing luxury street wear for men and woman made from the highest quality materials. They also feature on The Back II Life DVD Mixtape coming out soon with Damian breaking the brand down for us and the design philosophy for last seasons 'Trump' jacket which was a Leather puffa without the puff, lined with cashmere. According to Damian It was designed with us Brits and our ways in mind to combat taking up two seats on the tube in the winter when your wearing a heavy coat. How english is that? That's some polite steez. And I've just checked their Spring Summer 09 line for men and woman that looks just as smart and UK-centric which is inspired by The Talented Mr Ripley featuring these two really good looking suede jackets.

check out the entire line and the 'Trump" (possibly one of the best jackets ever!) at www.silverspoonattire.com

Khos Oomadin Be Tehran

Rough translation: "Growing up in Iran is tough with plenty of things to be sad about but all is not lost. Look! I made a video with my friends, which was fun and I bought this hat that looks kinda like a New Era one and my best mate managed to buy an oversized shirt that says Phila which is as close as it gets to saying Fila. I also managed to get a chain and a shiny watch, war torn bling is so hot right now."

Maybe a couple of suitors for the ladies featured in "Advanced Style 1". Here we have have the UK city version of Cocoon where our olds strut around London town like they invented flossin' constantly macking on spinsters and widows in between horse races at Ladbrokes and chats on the bench in the park. This is as close as your going to get to a style hero.

Big up my UK style forefathers, staying fly till they die.

Lee Scratch Perry Pum Pum

Gangstas & Thugs trailer

Florida yoot Michael Alfinez got sent down this week for taking advantage of his grans frail mental state. Now we've all played tricks on dementia victims, playing along with their wacky thoughts and theories but Alfinez took it to the next level.

He already runs a free DVD magazine called Gangsters & Thugs (only in America) that features gangsters & thugs being gangsters & thugs in varying gangster & thug situations. Check the trailer above it's pretty imaginative. So ghetto Broomfield decided to get his gran in on the act (which i thought was nice) dressing her in all-out homie attire and putting a Glock in her hand and making her say stuff straight out of the naughty G's handbook. The authorities didn't take kindly to Alfinez's efforts to bond with his gran and locked him up while his gran got off scott free even after issuing threats and profanities in a ski mask whilst brandishing a weapon, apparently she appeared disorientated in the subsequent video.

Anyways, now every time i see an old person acting up I'm suspicious that there is some grandchild manipulating them from behind the scenes. Is someone fucking with Lee Scratch Perry? Does he have an evil grandchild? or can old people be fun without a puppet master?
