Im in the new STATE OF PLAY MAGAZINE Issue 4

Check out the new STATE OF PLAY Magazine issue 4'The Other London' for all things art, culture & social issues. This issue was inspired by STATIS & my band's track 'It Came From London'. You can download the issue at the above link.

The new issue was showcased at the Fashbashsoundclash LFW party & art exhibition we held in conjunction with Tia Grazette, editor of State Of Play.

I am in the magazine along with some of my artwork & some great photography, artwork from Ldn artists who gave their interpretation of what London meant to them as well as some great insightful articles all on 'the other London', some of these include: What immigrants really think of London, Art Renaissance, an octogenarian who has lived in Hoxton all his life, The Kingsland Road: Art & Cultures Collide & the disturbing rise of London's no go areas.

It's a good read. Check it out.

FASHBASHSOUNDCLASH LFW Party in East London, Fri 18th September

My parties with Wale are always super- fun, this is the main ingredient that we wanted to bring back to Ldn when we started Fashbashsoundclash a year ago. This London Fashion Week we decided on our venue very late but settled on the City Arts & Music Project in East London as it had space to hang artwork for our exhibtion in conjuntion with State Of Play Magazine, an art & culture magazine based in East London. We wanted this Fashbash to be an amagamation of art, music & fashion and the crowd as always pulled off th fashion, we rocked the music and the artists work was fantastic.

The Theme for the Fashbashsoundclash London Fashion Week Party this Sept was 'It Came From London' based on our Beatnik track by the same name which Wale used for his last Bside collection (check out the new video & collection on my youtube page).


I did a piece myself which was hung along with around 15-20 other pieces by local London Artists.

State Of Play's new issue was also formed around this theme, titled 'The Other London' and artists were asked to contribute their interpretation of what London meant to them.
