?uestlove

Below is the cover for May's Scheme magazine which features an article about ?uestlove of the Roots. If you haven't done so already, go out and pick up Rising Down their new album just released last week. Not only is the album art great and full of impact, the content is rich. Enjoy.



And the uncropped no-logo version below...

Ma Dukes Yancey


This piece was done for Scheme magazine. It was to go with an interview of Ma "Dukes" Yancey, mother of well-renowned poetic genius/producer of all things funky and fly J. Dilla. I wasn't given much to work with so I emailed analoguegirl and she gave me some insight on the mother/son relationship between the two of them. Thanks E. I hope you all like. Part 2, diving deeper into their relationship to come at a later date...

Get by...

This piece is based on the Talib Kweli song 'Get By' in which he says we need to do more than to just get by, we need to live and get out (of the ghetto/poverty/misery/etc.). Hadn't heard the song in a while and thought of it as I was looking for inspiration.
