The State of Our (un)Union @LaurenLuna


This Saturday during Gallery Hop at The Kiaca Gallery, a friend of mine Lauren Luna of  Lauren Luna LTD, is putting on her first solo exhibit in 10 years! First and foremost, it is an honor to know her as a person, but also to know and encounter her artistry. If you go to www.ArtistaLuna.com you'll see exactly what I'm talking about! The exhibit will be on July 3rd from 6pm-10pm, 937 N. High St 43201. 

BE THEREEEEE!


Reflection. Inspiration. Motivation. 





The State of our (un)Union unveils the plight of Black America. Awakening the inner conscience of the next generation is vital in the process of progression and I commit to unraveling the spiral of lost souls. 



The glorification of excess, violence, hedonistic behavior has crippled the conscious of today’s youth leaving children, teenagers, and young adults captivated in a false sense of purpose. 

Popular music, namely Hip Hop reflects the harsh realities of our culture, and creates a convex mirror reflecting what reality is and what can be. The words play an operatic omniscient certainty, which embarks the question of choice. Do we choose to live to the standards blared out through the speakers of a passing car? Is it possible not to become digitized by exploitive videos of someone’s mother, sister, daughter, or aunt? 

The plight of Black America rests on an honest dialogue. Is Hip-Hop, a culture created out of the necessity of self-expression, now a mute catalyst to formulaic plague of the loss of honesty, self-respect, and self-identity? 

Using many different forms of media the image of these questions force the viewer to take part and see. From newspaper clippings, to scrawled words, to the painted image, the message of the state of our un-union is being revealed. The question is now, what will be done? More importantly; what will YOU do?

Malcolm Maximillion isn’t a character. He’s a hip hop artist creating from Baltimore, Maryland. Just when you thought all Baltimore had to offer was crab cakes, crime, and club music, Malcolm proves you wrong.

Born in Paterson, New Jersey, Malcolm Maximillion started rapping in the third grade. He eventually would become obsessed with rhymes after hearing Eminem. While in middle school, he wrote books of rhymes and began competing in rap battles. Eventually, in high school he would join a rap group which would cause him to produce and rap.



He would eventually put production to the forefront citing RZA, Madlib, and J Dilla as early influences. At the age of 15 he worked two jobs to gather enough money to purchase his first sampler, a Boss Sp 505. After selling a beat to Cappadonna, which went unused, he began making beat tapes and remix tapes. He wanted to make an album which other artists would perform over his sampled based productions.
