CHOLO WR1T1NG. Cholo writing from Los Angeles and Cali streets
Cholo writing is the oldest form of graffiti in the 20th century, evident in Los Angeles long before the appearance of tags and pieces in the early 1970s New York. It is a Mexican American phenomenom with a unique aesthetic based on blackletter typography, used for street bombing by the latino gangs. In the 1970s, Californian citizen Howard Gribble photographed examples of Latino gang graffiti over a wide geographic area in order to encompass a larger variety of styles, with the simultaneous idea of portraying Los Angeles. More than 30 years later, French typographer Francois Chastanet travelled to the same neighborhoods to photograph the inscriptions of today.
Gangs & Graffiti Crews are often mistaken as the same, but they are completely different, except for similarities in the writing.. Gangsters defend their neighborhood & fight for territory while Writers on the other hand have no boundaries & compete with other writers with style & getting up..
Growing up in the ’90s as a teenager in Southern California, most kids had 2 options, join a gang or do graffiti.. I myself use to be involved in gangs, but I never actually wanted to be from a gang, although some of my closest friends & relatives are gang related.. My brother-in-law’s entire family is from the same gang including his mom, dad, brother, sister, cousins etc, but anyway his brother had a grip of these magazines called Teen Angels which features prison art & I remember asking to barrow them so I could practice the writing styles.. Til this day cholo writing has a big influence in my steez & will always remain there.. West Coast stand up!!
about issued book:
Cholo writing originally constitues the handstyle created by the Latino gangs in Los Angeles. It is probably the oldest form of the graffiti of names in the 20th century, with its own aesthetic, evident long before the East Coast appearance and the explosion in the early 1970s in Philadelphia and New York. The term cholo means lowlife , appropriated by Chicano youth to describe the style and people associated with local gangs; cholo became a popular expression to define the Mexican American culture. Latino gangs are a parallel reality of the local urban life, with their own traditions and codes from oral language, way of dressing, tattoos and hand signs to letterforms. These wall-writings, sometimes called the newspaper of the streets , are territorial signs which main function is to define clearly and constantly the limits of a gang s influence area and encouraging gang strength, a graffiti made by the neighborhood for the neighborhood. Cholo inscriptions has a speficic written aesthetic based on a strong sense of the place and on a monolinear adaptation of historic blackletters for street bombing. Howard Gribble, an amateur photographer from the city of Torrance in the South of Los Angeles County, documented Latino gang graffiti from 1970 to 1975. These photographs of various Cholo handletterings, constituted an unique opportunity to try to push forward the calligraphic analysis of Cholo writing, its origins and formal evolution. A second series of photographs made by Fran Chastanet in 2008 from East LA to South Central, are an attempt to produce a visual comparison of letterforms by finding the same barrios (neighborhoods) and gangs group names more than thirty five years after Gribble s work. Without ignoring the violence and self-destruction inherent to la vida loca (or the crazy life , referring to the barrio gang experience), this present book documents the visual strategies of a given sub-culture to survive as a visible entity in an environement made of a never ending sprawl of warehouses, freeways, wood framed houses, fences and back alleys: welcome to LA suburbia, where block after block, one can observe more of

OJ Da Juiceman (группа не работает). Southern Rapper Otis Williams Jr., known as OJ da Juiceman began his music career with Never Again Records, most popularly known for their 2003 summer spin-off hit Black Tee. As a solo artist he quickly became a favorite on the Atlanta underground mixtape circuit. Only rapping for 4 years his style and ability are equivalent to a veteran that has been honing his craft for years. This quality was first noticed by OJ's father Otis Williams Sr. who baptized his son with the pseudonym OJ da Juiceman. OJ is a nickname and the handle of Juiceman is based on Otis Jr's ability to sap a beat of all of its juice, with his lyrical flow. Born November 26,1981, in Atlanta, GA OJ grew up on the inner city streets of East Atlanta with his mother. Like most kids raised by a single parent he had to grow up fast. Hardcore rappers The Dog House Posse, Ruthless Juveniles and NWA provided the soundtrack as he did what he had to do to support his family. Feeling comfortable in the streets and learning to navigate his way he later began writing lyrics about his struggles. He prides himself on being a conqueror. If you can survive in these harsh streets you can conquer just about anything. He dosen't claim to know everything but he knows something about will power and music. If you're in the trap, it makes you grind harder, when you're riding solo-you pop something in and reflect on the lyrics. Following the creation of his own record label 32 Entertainment he partnered up with neighborhood friend, Atlantic Recording artist Gucci Mane, CEO of So Icey Entertainment. OJ churned out 6 mixtapes under 32 Entertainment and has been featured on many underground mixtape classics. It was his release OJ Da Juiceman hosted By Dirty Laundry that helped his fan base jump, his hit count almost tripled and the number of listeners requesting him on myspace exploded. His rhymes reflects his life; what he has experienced in the past and what he hopes the future will bring. Oh yea, I make songs for the ladies too OJ states with a smile. True to his underground roots, he's looking forward to releasing two to three mixtapes before dropping his debut album, after recently signing to Asylum Records August 28th 2008. His most important goal is to come in the same game and sell records, each year the trap game changes up, and there are still more stories to be told. Although, rap is OJ's passion he would also like to act and create an opportunity for his family to become entrepreneurs. Thus, far OJ has proven that it does not take him long to accomplish desirable results. More importantly, it is not long before he delivers on what is wanted by all... promise and revelation. Therefore, one can only expect him to continue to juice the nectar of life within the entertainment industry and in all of endeavors... for every drop of success! Everyday something crazy happens, that's life says OJ, he's in this for the long haul, and he's unstoppable right now. He wants everybody to know he's here and he definitely brought ther juice. One of his lyrics sums it up Sun Valley Shawty, Bouldercrest Shawty, Texaco Shawty, Bomb in da Bush Shawty. this is OJ Da Juiceman.
