UncategorizedComments Off on Red The Man Without The Machine
What started off as a chance encounter has turned into one man’s dream come true. One random day back on Dec 2008, Tyler Gibney of HVW8 fame was minding his own business working away when he heard some sweet sounds pouring out from behind The Gallery. Captivated by this sound, he grabbed his camera and secretly captured this performance which became an overnight sensation on the internet. Unbeknownst to Ty, the man behind these soulful sounds was Red, a 38 year old homeless man living on the streets of LA. Word traveled fast of Red and this track which caught the attention of everyone at Stones Throw, in particular fellow G-Funk enthusiast Dam-Funk who kills it on the remix tip.
Coming soon on Stones Throw:
Red The Man Without The Machine 7” (Original Accapella + Dam-Funk Remix)
UncategorizedComments Off on Common sits down with NYLON TV
NYLON TV gives us a brief look into a photo session they did alongside multi-faceted musician/actor Common. Among the various topics, the Chi-Town native speaks of his respect for Nas, who he would like to portray in a film, and what hes been up to recently. Definitely a nice clip into the everyday hustle of one of Hip-Hop’s most respected artists.

new work
Justin and Alfred from T&A Showroom
Most of our sales reps are multi-talented, but Justin Fry is really REALLY talented. He had some of his newer paintings displayed in the showroom, and here’s a link to more of his work.
Lanie & Julie from Hellz
Lanie, the Hellz designer and Julie from the Foundation in the gorgeous Hellz design studio. Lanie was wearing a ridiculous (and I mean this in a good way) Vivienne Westwood-inspired skirt from the Holiday 09 collection (sorry, again, I had no foresight and didn’t take a pic). Julie is also rockin’ a cape-like sweater from Holiday.
roxy (or maybe roxie) manuel & nicole
Over at Focus, had some noodles while chatting with Roxy & Ms. Nicacelly (who was being admired by Manuel).
