Tastemaker Tuesdays: Katrina Bello

Fresh Nerd — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:33:11 +0000

You’re probably wondering why I would post something titled ‘Taste Maker Tuesdays’ on a Friday. Well nerds, because I can do whatever I want and plus I’m labeling myself a ‘tastemaker‘ now. That being said, I plan on scouring the net every so often to find untapped, true, raw talent and presenting it to you in a Fresh Nerd kind of way.

I can’t quite recall how I came across Katrina, but it was random….and surprising. She’s reppin’ the DMV area and is probably one of my new faves (well….next to Hope) but that’s saying a lot. She’s a soul artist with a very unique voice and I guarantee if she stays on her grind (after finishing school that is….stay in school kids) she will have a very long career. Enjoy….

p.s. Katrina, please don’t sign to Diddy no matter how big of a check
p.s.s. The video cuts off before the end so don’t email me about that. We keeps it raw…

LA Peeps….Save The Date Next Friday for Art Box

Fresh Nerd — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:15:17 +0000

I know I don’t live in LA anymore but a lot of you guys do….and I’m here for you. FreshNerd luvs the kids like Trick Daddy. Ritzy shot me this flyer for a dope event that I obviously will not be making it to. I think she’s trying to rub my face in it but that’s ok. Ima be aight. Ritzy along with many others (check the flyer) will be painting live and there will also be drinks for all of you alcoholics.

Ok, end ramble…..Biz Markie is Dj’ing and if you haven’t been to a Biz party ever in your life, smack yourself and say “shazaam!” three times. Should be great…next Friday, mark your calendars.

p.s. A portion of proceeds will be donated to Heal the Bay.

FreshArtist: Paper Monster

Hey yall….It’s Friday bidges!! Anyways, here is a dope artist from the East Coast that goes by the name Paper Monster. His style is crazy and incorporates magazine clippings along with spraypaint. Very dope to say the least. I’ll have more pics up from him soon and maybe even put him through the tortuous 21 questions like I did to Ritzy and others.

Fresh: Pharoahe Monch and Mos Def Freestyle (5 yrs ago)

I spotted this over at the Underground and had to snatch it up. If I wasn’t told this was 5 yrs old, you really wouldn’t be able to tell. Ahead of their time as usual….

Graf Artist Saber Gets Fox News’ Panties In A Bunch…

Fresh Nerd — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:04:57 +0000

I spotted this over at Revok’s blog and it is pretty interesting. I don’t want to give the video away before you watch, but all I’m going to say is the scare tactics used by Fox never ceases to amaze me.

Mute Math – Chaos (Acoustic Version)

Fresh Nerd — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:48:20 +0000

Old clip, but its never too late for some Mute Math. One of my favorite bands from New Orleans stops by the radio station and gives an acoustic performance to Chaos. A pleasant spin on the original….enjoy.

FreshArtist – Minjae Lee AKA Greno

Fresh Nerd — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:49:34 +0000

Minjae Lee reigns from South Korea at the young age of 19. His pieces are hand drawn then digitally tweaked. I’m pretty sure this kid will get some big name clients in the years to come. More pics below….

FreshArt: Mackenzie Nicole – Untitled

Fresh Nerd — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:17:37 +0000

I couldn’t find a title on this one so Mackenzie if you’re out there, hit me up if you have a title. If it were mine I’d call it “Cerebral Wash n’ Dry”. Ok, I’ll stop trying to be ‘deep’ and just stick with “Brainwash”.
