Full Canvas is here!

Waddup World,

Thank you for staying in tune with the Live Manikins.

It has been a long road. It has been a beautiful journey, real talk. From the moment the idea of #FullCanvas came to it actually being in your ears. The concept, the art, the vision, the dream. #FullCanvas the name, came from the idea of a the world viewed from one. Once viewing this world with a blank canvas, an artist able to paint the world though ones imagination. The finish? a #FullCanvas. Flavius or as I would like to call him, a poet. aggressive intellect. Runt Rock, the one behind the production and constructs his vocal as if an instrument itself heavy flow aka SoulKid. JRockit aka Mr funkvibe swingin get up slick emcee. Self, you know the name deepness, matched to a rhythm. Mr. Lingo rapid flow lyrics is gold straight up, and the one the only turnablist trickery for the masses DJ Rated R.

Now we have just finished the album release. It was at a venue called Harlow's located in Sacramento, California. This venue we chose because of the dope sound system that is backed by a dope ass sound man, plus kitchen, #realtalk. The kitchen was for our brother in arms aka we can call him knowledge aka M.Chong launching his GetSRVD food blog. Let me take an excerpt from his spot," bridges the gap between food culture & daily lifestyle; influenced by my interest in music, art and more. Expect content that speaks to what I’m eating, how to make it, food news, and maybe even a rant or two, just for sh*ts and giggles. haha, (that was me laughing)


Shoutout and much respect to Submerge Magazine


Shout out to the sponsors for your help making this album release possible. Shoutout to the lovely Kasi Jones (kasij.com) for hosting the special night. The swagbags from those sponsors on the flyers made heads excited and kept there game right. Damn that was a fun night. Shout out to DesiIntervention for handling the photography. The pictures will be posted at www.DesiIntervention.com. The biggest part of this whole event was the fans aka we like to called them fam. We hit capacity and the night was dope because of you and we are forever grateful fam.

Intermission

DJ Well Well Well.

Intermission:

The World, as some would call it seems to be an eye-opeing introduction.

Stay tuned, if one were to say awaiting the next rebellious outreach.

Live Manikins - We are and to you we say waddup. We thank you for staying tune for our music for the world. The time has been too long, yet the sequel is now. A Full Canvas, which you will here in its entirety. It has been a roller coaster of a year but the feeling is true. I heard that quote from somewhere, probably some random street wonderer yelling habits. Anyways, a lot of shows and memories have happen throughout this time. Let’s run some shall we?

Joints and Jams – Sleeprockers

Rated R brought a vision of just rocking joints and jams to be point blank with you. It’s been the themes that brought the vibe. Started at Capital Garage, (which is a dope food spot with a smaller stage but shout out to Capital Garage) which allowed him to it take off from a platform. Where did it end up you say? At the Sammies aka Sacramento Music Awards 2011 with thousands of people in attendance. (Side note – DJ Rated R won best Turntablist) During the process of the Joints and Jams molding, DJ Rated R formed a group with some well-respected DJ’s to form SleepRockers. In the group SleepRockers are DJ Rated R, DJ Mr. Vibe, DJ Nocturnal, DJ Wanted (2011 DMC West Coast Champion) and Kwes the Bess. All who have a repertoire deep into this love/culture we call Hip Hop. They brought you such events as:


and coming up that yall need to check out!


plug.

End.

A Beginning to something new, this weekend we will post up the coordinates to landing of Live Manikins sequel Full Canvas. Till then zone out to some drops.
