Rhyming & Screaming [HardcorePunkMetalHipHop] These are just a few bands I photographed and later manipulated for my mixed media photo collages. I liked going to hardcore punk metal shows in the Baltimore, DC, Virginia, New York, Jersey, PA during the 90’s and rappers on the West Coast. I went to a lot of hardcore shows in Baltimore including Next Step Up, 25 ta Life, Fury of FIVE, Gut Instinct, Biohazard, Fugazi, Krack and just about anything Chris X and Reptilian Records suggested. When I started coming to Los Angeles in the mid 90’s, I was introduced to Guerrilla One and Seventh Letter Crew. I went to Hip Hop shows with the likes of Tash, Xzibit, Cypress Hills, DJ Muggs, and Likwit Crew and of course Snoop. It was full on adrenaline taking pictures of bands/rappers going to shows getting in the pit. I wish I had the time to search the gems I have somewhere Hatebreed 91 with NSU in DC, Tricky/DJ Muggs-Troubadour, DEADGUY @ M.I.C.A, DEADGUY in X Edge Tony’s Basement of his parents house, Biohazard/H20’s Bmore-Debut-Club Rage, Deftones-8x10, Slayer-9:30 Club, Torn Apart-Reptilian Records, (I actually lost my hearing from standing too close to the speaker for 2 days I heard ZZZZZZZZZ)…I’ve started compiling a photography book called Rhyming & Screaming consisting of live and studio photography of all the talented people I’ve photographed in music entertainment from Baltimore to Hollywood and cool places in between.
