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.

Alhambra represents...A DJ and a drummer

Keeping it real...I was killing time online and found this video clip. A DJ and a drummer from Alhambra, CA, better known as JustinCase and Lloyd, who rock their parties with freestyle improvisation (I guess it's the same thing.) Sure, the novelty wears off after a while, but when it drops it's hot.

Now, I guess these cats are too young to know it's been done before by the greats. At the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) in London I saw a couple of Max Roach videos where he jammed along with a DJ and an MC. Here's something from back in the day in NYC with the New York City Breakers. ILLLLLL and original!
