Los Angeles 1985 there was probably only 5 Art Crews out there. Formed in 83 by Risk one, Rival ( RIP ) , Miner & P-Jay the West Coast Artists were born. The Crew grew by leaps & bounds. One could not just get in with the WCA Kings you had to have skill. Country club like initiation. Toys need not apply. WCA was dropping pieces from Venice to Downtown to the Valley to Vegas, Lompoc to Long Beach. Rocking Walls like no other.
Fame rolled with our crew Risk One was hired by Michael Jackson to do the set for the music video “The Way You Make Me Feel” –Mr. Cartoon aka Flame One is owner of The Joker Brand & is America’s most sought after tattoo artist . Many more of the crew are in the film, literary, music & art fields. Not bad for a bunch of vandals..
With the painting you had have the cassettes with the fat beats & the parties to rock.. These elements were part of my duties. This set is dedicated to that era..Download this traditional vinyl to recorder mix without all that computer hocus-pocus..
Enjoy,
-Dj Dash One – WCA Since 1986
