Another vid I saw on the Atlanta Bench blog… –wanted to share it with you guys. I can never pass up hip hop roots on deck:

If you haven’t been by the Atlanta Bench, yet, and you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a really cool spot to check out. Last time, I was there, they had Ironlak and German Montana. They sell everything from artwork, paint, music, to clothes. Check out their commercial.

If you’re on there, hit me up and add me as a friend. Profile: Puregroove_Org

Hense’s work…

…at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Georgia. I, usually, try to make it once a year. Voice in the Wind holds the festivals annually. You can tell a lot about people through their culture. The warrior dress and the dances are full of heart and soul. –a very, very rich culture. I have so much respect for what they do.
