This Ruff Ryders Balenci is a good ex of why AAs need to steward our streetwear. Demna’s euro trash club kid aesthetic touches streetwear — In the 80s/90s aa house DJs/artists lived in Eastern Eur for tours/residences + imparted their streetwear onto the youth. Even with good intentions + historical grounding it was still unlicensed

A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

wrote about how+why black artists get left out of the indie sleaze nostalgia discourse for p&p!

@Santigold, Spank Rock, and @kilokish shed light on the scene they experienced, the boxes the industry put them in, and how the people telling its story shape what gets remembered.

A year ago, the great @DyanaWilliams asked me, on behalf of the family of D'Angelo, to write an obituary for brilliant musical comet Michael Eugene Archer for his Home Going. That heavy request expanded into a 6000 word plus piece on D'Angelo. Tears. Love. tinyurl.com/385hx9x2
