Yo as you know we are an art website but we also like to share good music from those that support us. So with that being said Richie Cunning has been sitting on this song for along time. Live was the only way you could hear but now it is there for the masses. Thank you RC enjoy.
We would like to congratulate our buddy Ricky Watts on the launch of his brand new site http://www.rickywatts.com
Ricky is DOPE with a capital everything so go on click the picture, go buy some prints throw him in an art show if he’s not busy do whatevs just support! You can also read Mr. Watts’ 5 finger discount interview here.
Lower Branch loves music! What we love more than music itself is when music smashes itself into visual art. Santa Cruz based MC and Rec League member Proe recently dropped this gem “Don’t wake the Babies” off the upcoming album “Be Brave Gladiator” available Jan 1st, 2012. The images are something out of an internet nightmare that went absolutely right and had you up in the morning like “whoa, that was ill.” Shot in a Richmond District dungeon in an undisclosed location where if you knew they’d have to kill you………. with whiskey shots!
“Make love, make war, make art, make out, out, out out…….”
“I dont consider myself a photographer im an artist…I grew up around graffiti, taggin Muni, black books, Drawing & writing lyrics.”
Damien Grew up in San Francisco’s Mission District back in the day when the streets of the Mish weren’t so forgiving, long before the hipsters were allowed to move in and pedal their fixies freely. Back in a time when random dudes like yours truly would have knives pulled out on them followed by a line that meant business “take that shit back to the aves. whiteboy.” The Mission is still the Mission, will always be the mission but it’s nothing like those days throughout the 90’s.
If you have not heard of ARYZ you are asleep or maybe even just dead all together. I thought I would give him even more run after his recent October run via our friends at Juxtapoz. Since most of us will not be headed to Spain anytime soon I figured I’d bring Spain’s finest to you. Check the video above of Aryz and his mates doing what they do best and (CLICK HERE) to see some of Aryz’ older flics from last year.

Trevor Traynor is a well trained genius behind the lens, whether it be digital, film or video my man is well versed. T2 started honing his skills in the darkroom way before he was wrecking shop on the digital age and it shows in his work.
Check the awesome interview put together by John Coyne above and (CLICK HERE) to see more works from the lens of T2 including the damn near famous Method Man shot and more from Lower Branch!
This is why Jeremy Fish RULES! Still one of our absolute favorite artists in SF. Peep this throw down over the Aesop Rock track pigs, hidden cut from none shall pass which also featured Mr. Fish’s artwork. Check game.
Check out this mix from the buddy Gus Cutty also featuring an unreleased Fist Fam track off the new Panama Jack EP produced by the ever elusive Conceit! Featuring tracks from Ghostface, Action Bronson, Pete Rock and Smif n Wessn. Go, go now click the picture.
