Shouts out to Chris Read, never not working. For his latest project he has produced a series of short videos for hypebeast tv, focusing on Modern Day Artisans. In the first episode the spot light is on uk based shoe maker Sebastian Tarek.
Focusing less on what he refers to as the “economy” of shoemaking, Australian-born shoemaker Sebastian Tarek sits down with HBTV to discuss his disposition toward the design process, client interaction and overall personalized experience of his bespoke footwear creation process. What initially began as a curious hobby for the London-based designer has now developed into a highly revered trade in which Tarek personally meets each client to individualize every pair of shoes that he makes. Approaching each step within the design process with a degree of fluidity and precision not often experienced, Sebastian Tarek is a strong reminder of the appreciation and respect that is due, yet rarely attributed to, the handful of remaining modern day artisans.

Mad shout out to my brother from another mother mister cee for pulling me in from early to work on this. Shouts out to everyone that rolled through.
With an effervescent flow and clearly Big Pun inspired multi-syllabic execution, I remember this Hispanic cat Termanology caught my ear in mid '06 with the DJ Premier laced heater 'Watch It Go Down'. It's always easy to distinguish dopeness when there's so many swag and forgettable rappers clogging Hip-Hop's artery.
Now both godly producer and promising MC are back up on this fresh banger, and the low-budget video is edited mad nice, visually referencing numerous legends to coincide with the wordplay and trademark Primo vocal scratches. Ill.
