Thanks to everyone that made it down to the last event held at Cafe Artum back on August 12th. The event was programmed only the week before and was aimed to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop.

I decided to screen a version of my film Looking for the Perfect Beat. This was a free event. It being such a significant mark in this culture we went the extra mile and fellow artists Tha 4orce, DJ Sparra & Jay King came together to turn this screening into an event.

When we talk about Hip Hop too often we focus on the music and not the whole culture. This event was a stage where we were able to share our experiences as well as highlight some of the very special guests in attendance whose contribution to the scene played a big part in my journey. Hanifa the first and most prominent B-Girl in UK history was there alongside Juice 126 and Zuki who alongside Crise are deeply rooted in the Graffiti scene from its very beginning in the city of Birmingham.

The Film focuses on the Many of Hip Hop pioneers and innovators’ journeys and personal experiences as they were creating this thing called Hip Hop.

On the day and not planned our new LP Setting Standards by Tha 4Orce dropped and was delivered by the pressing plant. So we took this opportunity to present it.

the event was a success and every seat in the venue was taken. Huge thanks to the team at Hockley and Cafe Artum for helping and making sure everything ran smoothly without and issues. We decided to move forward and package this event as there is no other crew in the UK that can deleiver what we can. So if you would like us to come to your city, town to present or talk about our journey do get in touch.

Cafe Artum alongside the team at the Hockley Social Club to celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop have asked me to program an event to be held in Cafe Artum on the 12th of August.

I joined the team at HSC over 2 years ago as a dj and video/photography collaborator. The owners always made it very clear to me how important it is to them that Hip hop music is represented in their venue.

My first time djing there was alongside Birmingham Veteran E Double D. So aside from me just playing there, there are many other DJs there who do play quality hip hop music. James Swindourne who is one of the owners has always been keen to get me involved in there events and has been watching and paying attention to my journey for many years now and alongside Jayson Wynters from Cafe Artum they have been programming with their team led by Andrew Milford and George been putting on some very intersting cultural events in the Cafe Artum Space.

August the 12th to mark and celebrate 50 years of hip hop I will be screening a version of my film alongside my guests DJ Sparra ( Former DMC Champion) and tha 4Orce ( recording artist). The Event will start at 2pm and the film shall start 2.30 pm sharp. The film is 96 min long and then be followed by a quesions and answers with my self and my guests.

The Q&A will be streamed live via IG. If you can not make it tune in from 4pm UK time. The event is free and the film itself is made and directed by a local unfunded artist. In the words of Lord Finesse, ‘This is a film for us by us’.

We are also proud to present at this event our new lp Setting Standards 3. Our new release arrives from the plant this week so that this event will be the first time this album will be available to purchase. The Album is by tha 4Orce who will be in attendence. Get your copy signed at this event.

Recently I got to work with Masterchef Winner Dan Lee. I met Dan at Birmingham’s Hockley Social Club. The venue that I’ve been involved with for almost 3 years.

The interesting thing about the venue it is the place where creatives, artists, and people in media go to gather. i put the word Social in the title of the venue to use and network there regularly.

Dan Lee has been trading there for the last 3 months. He and his team serve some of the most delicious Chinese delicacies.

Recently I started to work at a school and we held a Masterchef competition where I arranged one of the prizes as the winners get to meet Dan. In return, I offered my services as a photographer and filmmaker. Here are some of my pictures from the special event day held at Highbury Hall, Mosely Birmingham July 30th.
