Elbow Toe, a urban poet

Les tragédies de Guillaume Montier
Born in Rouen (1973), Guillaume Montier paints and exhibits since 1994. Loving series, he alternates improvisation and questioning to wonder about existence, its void or fullness.

Tyler The Creator – Yonker (Clip)
Idol of the Indie, worshiped by a showbiz missing genuine provocation, Tyler The Creator, californian mc/producer, founder of OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All), strongly hits back again with “Yonker”, the first excerpt of his second album “Goblin”.

Raekwon & Ghostface Killah ft The Roots (Live)
Big performance of Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, backed for the event by The Roots, at the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show. Singing “Rock’n Roll”, the two emcees came to present the Chief Raekwon’s album “Shaolin vs Wu-Tang”, disappointing LP when you know the potential of the band. You can’t always excel. However, we must be able to appreciate this [...]
