Left Turn Magazine Cover for Issue #33



Ok, folks if you see this magazine please pick it up and thumb through it. In the past two years I almost completely blocked out all media except for subway ads and email advertisements. I wasn't trying to be artsy about it, I just wanted to find my answers instead of having the normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner of lies fed to me. But, here is a small example of normal people working to find answers, sharing them with you.This issue has a lot to do with social justice movements in El Salvador, Venezuela, and Mexico.So much to learn! Peep the small joint about my crew, the legendary and dues paying "Trust Your Struggle" Collective. The cover was challenging to do though, i like how it turned out.Cant wait to see this on news stands. All my bay area folksers holler, i'm back for the summer.

So International

Ok, so for those folks who are thinking internationally, you can now get a Google translator for youre blog so that people from hellllla different places can read youre words and your blog. Dope right?! YES! I personally would like to connect with more artists internationally so that we can have an exchange of knowledge, styles, etc. But I have to remind myself not to write in so much slang because when I peepd the italian translation of my words it had trouble with words like "homie", "hella", and I dont even want to think about " Yadadaimean!".
The translator is on my page, click on it and find yours. Muchas Gracias a http://lifesystemdata.blogspot.com/ porque yo encontro en tu pagina homie!

Bambu from "Native Guns"-Get Crooks & Rooks on Mtv!

Not that Mtv is the be all to end all, but Bambu is fucking dope and he and errybody he down with( Kiwi, Dodat(what up Davin!), Krish, Dj Phatrick) deserve to be seen by hella more people. So peep his video and hit him up on myspace....www.myspace.com/bambumusic

The folks who shot this hooked it up major-ly because this is one of the best videos I seent since " No need for alarm"!

Quick history:Ive been hearing about Native Guns for a minute, especially Kiwi. Why? because they been putting in work for a while and paying your dues, putting in work,is how you do it. Anyway, then i heard they took a pause from the group and then I see Bambu got a solo joint out. Mann, this joint he had called Mao tse tung-i think with a chinese beat(Bambu is Philipino! All my Pinoys stand up!) was slapppp-tacular.I mean ten crates of mangoes! Bananas....from the "I scream bars for the children" LP. Then he came back with another sure shot "Exact Change" with this new "Crooks & Rooks" joint, and from listening to the sampler with Zion-I, maaaaannnn. The homie is doing his job, which is why im telling you about it to support that work. Check him out.

Im a holler at you soon bout that illust Bam, stay up homie!
