"The Window Series" - SKECH185

This dude is a trip, a living breathing trip. He was also a constant stand-out on the Tomorrow Kings album Nigger Rigged Time Machine -- which is not to imply they're some sort of Wu-Tang style uber-group built on the legacy of their two best rappers, because everyone on that album belonged there.

Photographer / videoauteur Samantha Wakefield has a lot more installments of The Window Series on tap, although the quality of the performances varies considerably. No surprise perhaps that the Lamon Manuel episode was another highlight: it takes a certain kind of carnivorous intensity to sustain interest in a naked human face for more than 60 seconds. For contrast, while I really like a lot of Defcee's recorded work, he just looks startled to be on camera in his performance and it winds up feeling awkward for everyone.

SKECH185, though, is a force of nature that gives no fucks about no man. This is definitely the most compelling video in The Window Series, pushing that West Coast chopper flow past the event horizon of pixel recognition, editorializing on his own lyrics mid-stream, and repeatedly exploding with pure Kundalini psychosis. This is a gem, in other words.

Not for everybody, but fuck anything that is, right?
