EP 14 - WORD TO MOTHER
b'At well over 6 feet tall and built like a MACK truck, when he enters the room, he\\u2019s hard to miss. Covered in tattoos and sporting a thick Hastings accent, it\\u2019s easy to jump to the assumption that this guy is more likely a cage fighter than an artist. Within seconds of talking with him however, you realize that Word To Mother is one very chilled out, genuine, down to earth dude with a great outlook on life and his place in the art world.
With a stronghold in the urban contemporary art scene going back almost a decade (to well before there even was an \\u201curban contemporary\\u201d art scene) and ongoing relationships with some of the scenes leading galleries such as Stolenspace (LDN), Thinkspace (LA), and White Walls (SF), Word To Mother seems to be doing everything right. When asked what his secret is, the answer he gives is so honest and \\u201cbullshit free\\u201d that it\\u2019s almost surprising to hear it\\u2026 \\u201cright place, right time\\u2026 and just try to be nice to people.\\u201d
Join JB and Tom this week as we hear straight from the man himself about how deep friendships, selling sneakers, smoking weed, and listening to a lot of Nas\\u2019s 1994 classic album \\u2018Illmatic\\u2018 could just be the perfect recipe for fame and glory in the street-art game.'
