Crime Classics

We haven't been to see Notorious yet but in the meantime, I've been enjoying City of God's Son: a beat opera story of 3 friends in the hood. Nas, Jay Z and Ghostface lead the tale, which also boasts some of our favourite people: Ghostface, Biggie, Raekwon, Samuel L. Jackson, Delroy Lindo, Laurence Fishburne and Joe Bataan. This isn't one of your mum's books on tape.

The website is phenomenal, the story infectious, and the outcome is so intriguing, I plan to make a trip down to the Rotten Apple to see the installation. Kenzo Digital will be marrying several mediums: 

"creating a new form of Cinema, Theater, and Opera in an outside gallery space in NY's Chelsea art district. There, the listener will be able to experience COGS in the form it was initially intended, as a psychedelic abstract combination of visual and audio sensory over stimulation and deprivation in a unique outdoor setting."

Peep the trailer, over and over again and download the project!

(love what they did to that Kool G track)

Who's down for a roadtrip this summer?
