Every Friday, we’ll be posting videos, interviews, and local show info on Artists featured on the soundtrack for “To Live and Ride in LA“.
This way you can keep update with some the best local and global talent, and in my opinion, some of the best music to ride to…

First up, Crown City Rockers. Crown City Rockers are a five-member hip hop band from Oakland, California, by way of Boston, Massachusetts and Pasadena. Formerly known as Mission:, they play old school inflected hip hop music with live instrumentation (similar to other hip hop groups like: Gym Class Heroes, The Roots, N.E.R.D, and Stetsasonic). Super fresh, bringing back the pure hip-hop, makes me want to start poppin and lockin. Really smooth to ride to and keeps you moving at that fast pace. Great party rocking music, and while I couldn’t find any tour dates coming up in LA, be sure to check out their site for up to date info.

One of the new posts you will be seeing every Wednesday, will be Rider updates. What have they been up too? What are they doing since filming “To Live & Ride in LA“? Since this is the first week and it coincides with a Bi-weekly night this Saturday, that some of the riders put on, we thought we would do a little promoting for them. Sound.Wavs is the brain child of Anthony and Sean. A collective of DJ’s, beat makers, Emcees, and friends. They started last year as a weekly night at the Hyperion Tavern, every Thursday. Due to some disputes and the bar losing it’s live performance license, the night went on hiatus. It came with back with a vengeance. Sound.Wavs at The Ronin Gallery has become the one of the fastest growing underground nights in Los Angeles. It’s an amazing party with amazing performances from some of the best artists LA has to offer. With a rotating line up every two weeks, the guys are bringing you the best they can book. This Saturday is the fourth installment, and the Crew bought a new sound system and have some insane talent coming through this week. Swag. Look for more detailed interviews with both Sean and Anthony in the weeks ahead.

The Chubby Boob “Revenge of the Nerds” race went down in Riverside this past weekend. It was a great way to kick off the racing season with a really fun college themed race thrown by Chubby Boob, ACE, TOLA and Two Rabbits Studios.

Riders had to hit multiple checkpoints where there was a panty raid, beer pong, and a paintball shooting gallery. Each racer was “graded” depending on when they arrived and if they could earn “extra credit”. The race manifests were report cards. Whose crazy ideas was this again?

Although some people got turned around on the unfamiliar streets, it ended up being an awesome event with great weather, clear streets, and a gang of fools showing up to rep LA. Great job putting together such a fun event. Check out some pics from Chubby Boob blog and TRAFIK Flickr.

Congrats to Keo for landing his own shoe from DVS. Everyone who knows Keo knows he’s got fuckin’ style, and now you can too!

Dustin sent me a pair of his new shoe colab with DVS. Been wearing

the streets in May. I’ll definitely be buying another pair, love the
yellow ones too.
