“Electric Burners : Drama/ DE “
When it comes to dangerous, deeply rooted, electrifying burners, DRAMA / DE should be mentioned amongst the greats..Hailing from Southern California, this one man wrecking machine has not only showed and proved throughout the years – he continues to push the envelope and keep a high level of consistency in his work..
BOMBING SCIENCE recently caught up with the elusive writer for some Q&A action..
“Do you think the fact that you can just look on Instagram or the internet and find a style has homogenized graff at all? Do you think it’s possible to be completely original today and if so, how do you think people can do that?
This is the question that comes up a lot. I don’t have the answers. But I know that you can’t live your life looking in the rear view mirror. The internet is here to stay. It ain’t going nowhere. I think it’s definitely possible to contribute something original stylistically, to the extent of humbling yourself and acknowledging that everything has already been done before you. You might think you stumbled upon some new concept, then see an old mag where someone did your concept in 1981 on a subway car in NY. But you can shine that style through your own soul’s kaleidoscope lens and make a unique contribution in your own unique way. It just takes being brave enough to do it. I like brave graffiti”.
” Rome Streetz : Noise Candy 2 “
I’m quite sure you have noticed by now that for the last 5 years their has been a new crop of MC’s that were deeply influenced by ROC MARCIANO / WSG / ACTION BRONSON / CONWAY / THE GOD FAHIM….Some of them wear the influence on their sleeves – others straight copy the blueprints and run with them, while a few take bits and pieces and attempt to incorporate it into their music…
We are all influenced by others, but the goal is to try to add on and flip certain things instead of following in the next person’s footsteps….I’m hoping that in 2019 we will hear more originality, more new ideas, more new approaches in production, and more people willing to take chances…
I recently took a listen to the newest offering from ROME STREETZ, it definitely had a few head nodders on it.You can hear his influences for sure, but it is worthy of some decent burn..
