BLU and EXILE - K.O.L





So remember K.O.L brought Blu and eXHILE...


I was fortunate enough to be doing the photography for it, nevermind that I was dying and had the hot and cold shivers, I made my way opal and did what I could! They're actually cool, and to be honest I didn't know who they were, a few friends let me listen to a track or two close to the time, but none the less, Blu looked angry when I first met him while eXHILE was really cool and engaged in kwaai communication!

A QUICKY WITH LEO LARGE





FUN FUN FUN!













- so like i'm not too sure we did this shoot the day before i left my birthplace Cape Town but never the less LEO LARGE and i made this happen, it was nogal lekker! We had quite a lot of fun! And damn that thing where you put the turntables in, is damn heavy... After that he was kind enough to take me for a burger! It's was nice IGGY and FLEX even picked as it, LOL. So this Burger special thing is at CAFE MOJITO on LONG st... Dope ambiance.
