Stevio...LA LA Lovin' It?

I'm British-born Chinese from Bristol, UK. I’m LA-based. I’m a hip hop aficionado. After 15 years in London I moved to LA to pursue a new career and outlook on life.

Back in the 80s I was a DJ. In the 90s I contributed to the world's first street style exhibition at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2011, I had my first interviews published. Today, I’m keeping busy with music, art, photos and writing.

3rd Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival (NYC Part 2)

As I wandered around the LES (Lower Eastside) of New York I spotted a hot (un-named) record store: "hmmm, where did you move from 'cause I don't have you in my Palm..?"

I didn't buy anything, after all vinyl is way too heavy...but I did grab the poster pinned up on the wall after some negotiations: '3rd Annual Brooklyn hip hop Festival'! Wahhh...and I didn't even know about it!?

Crap. The last day was today so I missed everything, but luckily YouTube has some amazing clips. The line-up of acts is ill, and the energy and brotherhood is wonderful to see...it almost reaches out from the PC screen and touches you!

Chubb Rock...Brooklyn!
