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.

Masta Ace comes correct...

What you know about Masta Ace? Come on, yes, he was part of the Cold Chillin' Records' 'Juice Crew' and rocked the mic on the anthem, 'The Symphony'! Whhhaat?!

So, even though the rain was pouring outside I jumped in the motor and hit Hollywood with Jason. Masta Ace was with his new crew called E.M.C. (Punchline, Wordsworth and Stricklin) for their first Los Angeles show. Alongside E.M.C. were LA crews Blu, 5th Element, Concrete Guerillas and the very Californian-style MCs, Thirsty Fish. See their G4 TV performance below. I got myself a CD. Word. Represent!

This was real underground hip hop. The love in the crowd for these guys was visible and live. No violence, no hassle, just good vibes and music. And Jason and me representing the old men B-Boy crew. Hahahaha! We were out past midnight on a school night?! :)
