Forward Evr::: Rashad Dobbins

Respect To An Original>>>>STylE UnknowN >>>

Rashad coined the phrase Type 1 to describe the Cornel West theory’s musical genre. The band’s music is fused with accents of hip-hop, rock and jazz, and therefore needed a classification of its own. A graduate of D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Rashad has gripped microphones – as a poet and emcee – since the mid-90s. His musical influences – from Wu Tang Clan to Bad Brains to Backyard to John Coltrane – shape his mind-bending verses. His lyrics ask listeners to think beyond typical emcee banter and unlock the creativity and power in their minds.

Rising: Gonjasufi

Gonjasufi is the latest musical incarnation of Sumach Ecks, a rapper-singer-yoga teacher currently living in Las Vegas. Though he's been making hip-hop records since the early 90s and has released music with the San Diego-based Masters of the Universe crew, it's his recent singles as Gonjasufi-- from his forthcoming Warp debut LP A Sufi and a Killer (out March 9)-- that are gaining him more notice than ever before. The album features worn-in, Dilla-descended production from L.A.'s the Gaslamp Killer, Mainframe, and Flying Lotus (Gonjasufi was featured on "Testament" off FlyLo's Los Angeles), but the unequivocal star is Ecks's voice-- a scraggly, scary, smoked-out croak that creeps like the spiritual offspring of George Clinton and Leadbelly. In a recent interview, Pitchfork spoke with Ecks about his unforgettable pipes, racism, and throwing rocks at cars here.

Family House in Obama by Suppose Design
text by An Michiels for Yatzer

Suppose Design recently finished a family house In Obama, in the Fukui prefecture on the sea of Japan. The site, situated near the beach, posed climatic problems such as damage from the sea breeze. The client – the director of a clinic opposite the house – wished to combine openness on the ground floor to allow for parking spaces for his clients with more protected first floor living spaces.

Kitchen space, bathrooms, study corners and storage are strategically placed at the perimeter of the site to form a buffer around the living areas and bedrooms to protect them from the harsh climate. Light and air are allowed in through the insertion of courtyards with glass-framed walls between the rooms. It opposes the notion of letting the outside world in and offers an intimate controlled environment, but one that can be very open at the same time.

The house is very spacious within the Japanese context, the built areas measure 171 square meters. This size allowed for generously sized rooflights and courtyards, to ensure a flood of natural light throughout the house. The open character of the first floor was created by using a supporting steel structure, held up by reinforced concrete elements on the ground floor.

Suppose Design aims to create an architecture with a strong interaction between inside and outside environment to ultimately blur the boundaries between them and to create one continuous connected space. The use of identical floorboards in internal and external areas, running along the length of the house, underline this concept. It carefully blends the need for protection and privacy with the notion of the Japanese courtyard which results in a refined contemporary living space.

Suppose Design was established by Makoto Tanijiri in 2000 and has grown into a 16 strong team with offices in Hiroshima and Tokyo. Their scope ranges from architecture, landscapes and interiors to product and furniture design. Tanijiri approaches design with a mind of equivalence to all buildings of different scales and cost, ranging form a dog house to a skyscraper. He defines his work as a chance to realize fresh ideas about buildings and relationships of all interactive elements.

Discover the House in Obama through the pictures that follow:

Spring Buds...

Bare naked tree branches

Watching you shiver in the cold winter wind...

Looking hopeless, helpless, so weary of winter

Want to cover you in a warm blanket...

Looking more closely I see

Fuzzy flower buds delicately hanging on...

Giving me hope of Spring to come...
