That was super fun, my footage finally got edited from the opening night of the CDTBK show. I had two pieces in there. Big shout out to all my fellow artists and artistas who shared their creative energy, Rasu, Daoud and Dakhil of Coup d'Etat Brooklyn and Nakeisha Gumb, our beautiful curator, for making it happen so smoothly. Also, thanks to Robert L Sims III for the editing work.
I first met Coultrain years ago, when I was new to Brooklyn. He was sitting, strumming a guitar at a party in Crown Heights, just looking like he was about to blow up. He had the look in his eye. Soon after, I begun to get my hands on his music, and I've never been disappointed. He was most recently known for his work with PPP, but will be dropping his solo full-length soon! First, look out for his 2 singles "The Wanderer" and "Balancing Act" in both 7" vinyl and digital release FEB 23rd on Recordbreakin Music. Check out teaser site HERE (where u can see lyrics and have a listen to the singles!). Here is a little snippit I found on The Mint Collective. Coultrain - The Wanderer Snippet by TheMintCollective
