Lady-Byrd… “green heart emoji” followed by a cancer crabbIE patty and those butterfly freckles. Much love “ghetto?!? SUPERSTAR! You’re so much more than that…remember that next time when you feel that shift of the time. Flap your wings with love at the rate of which you decide to travel…You know how I felt walking in and out of the Cheech Marin Museum in downtown on that hot Winter day in January 2025. Ras Royal gave his thumbs up once Big Bruh Bruh swooped the two of us from the coffee shop across the street from where we departed…was that the last time we were….? I held on for as long as I could….anywho…here WE thRIV3 in el Sol todos Los Dias. Dar gracias ah Dios. Todos Los Dias. And that’s WORD AS BOND oo7 from my perspective. Sooo…whatchu want? Whatchu gunna do widdit?!?
Summa time in the RIV! This art installation is called “What’s Your Perspective?” Perspective is defined as the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimension surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point. Perspective is also defined as having a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something, a point of view. This exhibition is curated by Mariah G, Johnathon Arthurs, & Malik Laing.
If you have been to this museum, then you should be familiar with the atrium that sits right in the middle as you are walking through the entrance. The art is located on the back wall and is visible as you walk through the doors. You may or may not have noticed the pillars that gives it a Greek Coliseum feel.
In this exhibition the artist decided to give their perspectives from their points of views in the areas of family, life, community, and hard work with love. I caught Artist Johnathon Arthurs at the opening ceremony. Hazer stopped at the DJ booth to kick knowledge with Dropdead. I saw Gudis and Lisa. The two women who made this event happen. Big ups. Respect to all of you.
If I could play a song that wasn’t by thRIVee Sun I would Q up Rome Streetz Kiss The Ring. Probably that track reversible. Conductor got busy on that jawn. Why would I say RomIE?! I guess cuz this show resembled to me the falling or continuing falling of Rome or Babylon as I&I Ras chant em. This show was fresh and hip. Just like the sounds on that one Streetz Album Kiss The Ring!
I first played this album by Rome Streetz in October after I copped the Accord. I was freshly back on campus in pursuit of my undergraduate degree. From the intro I knew Kiss The Ring was that shit. From start to finish shit was dumb. I rocked out then saw Dun in LA at the Terrodom in February. What can I say…not disappointed at all. Hazer did math with Darko from FlatBush, Fredro, 2Duecy11, Chuck, & Chace that night. I ran into my Aye A- Like Big Bro AA across the street after I copped a shirt from RomIE. I passed AA a fresh pull of my spliff as he pulled out a rare picture he caught of FLY GoD & Stovito while in Buffalo. Easy math. It was 9:57 as we peeled off to Sam’s Haufbrau.
Fast forward to this show. Bang! Bang! Bang! Falling of Rome B. In the RIVeee downtown dun. Here’s a glimpse.
