Straight Outta Belgium

I wanted to send a shout out to Alex Deforce. A while back he sent me an email about some very cool video interviews / pieces he's doing on a littany of icons / rising stars in street / youth culture. From upcoming Californian based Hip Hop / Experimental / Indie music producer Flying Lotus through to legendary art and anthropology photographer, documentarian, historian Martha Cooper. His site is On Point. Take a visit and give him a pound for the time and effort he's putting in to these interviews.

Here's the part one of the interview with Martha Cooper he did, conducted at the booksigning session of "Street Play" at Mr Ego, Brussels, Belgium.
