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
