AM Radio murals will be featured alongside many other notable DC area artists in a show called "Child of the Street," which will be hosted at {Cre8} SpaceGalleryStudio.

Diamond District

2010-05-01T05:57:00.000-07:00

When I got the word from Quartermaine that Diamond District, fresh off of their european tour, would be performing for their first DC appearance there was no doubt I wasn’t going to miss it.

The show was dope! Separately, Oddisee, yU, and XO are all seasoned vets but to see them live/collectively definitely takes the Diamond District experience to the next level.

"In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher's (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging. : ) "

Broadsword Handle Umbrella

2010-04-07T10:45:00.000-07:00

"The Broadsword Handle Umbrella is gorgeous. Its massive handle looks like you could draw forth a blade and cleave the raindrops in twain before they even had a chance to hit the ground."

Gun Hooves

2010-04-07T10:32:00.001-07:00

I have to say these Gun Hoofs designed by Iris Schieferstein are beyond interesting. I’m just curious as to what kind of lady would rock these.

2010-02-01T12:41:00.001-08:00

Curtis and his team from The Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem invited AM Radio to NYC this past Saturday to do a live mural for a special birthday party. The invite-only event was top notch with gourmet fare, live performances, complimentary wine, and DJ'd by Grand Wizzard Theodore (inventor of the scratch) on the 1s and 2s.

Thanks to Curtis, Paul, and the HHCCH staff for the hospitality and we look forward to building with you guys soon.

Creative + Control, DD 172, Blac Roc

2009-12-26T20:23:00.001-08:00

Really feelin' what Dame Dash is up to with Creative + Control, DD 172, and Blac Roc. From what I understand all 3 entities are one in the same with one serving as a creative space (studio, art gallery), one serving as a record label, and the other being a multi-media element that documents the others movements. Good ish...

AM Radio would also like to thank Sandra (SCION) and Dave (Frank 151) for helping to make this possible.

Old Skoolin for the Kids

2009-11-09T20:33:00.000-08:00

Old Skoolin for the Children was on point!

DMC of RUN DMC held it down. First time I'd ever seen him live.
Glad to see him and other icons still on their grind.

The art was ill, the space was more than on point,
and free drinks and food (at least in VIP).

Big shout to Shane and the Art Whino crew for another
great event.
