Recently, the public got a taste of whats to come from the partnership of Sanctioned and MetroPCS. The communications provider allowed three titans of street art to leave their mark on retail stores in the Harlem and the Bronx. West Coast legend Mister Cartoon hooked up with two East Coast heavyweights, Cope2 and Sen2, to deliver a powerful message. Fully bombing the windows, the artists left their calling card for the morning commuters to marvel at. Take a look while you can: 115th & Lexington in Harlem; E. Fordham and E. Kingsbridge Road in the Bronx; 3rd and E.151 in the Bronx.

Damn a “wack world cold” must be tough to get over!

With the launch of his new downtown mecca, DD172—playfully dubbed by Mos Def as the “24 Karate School”—Dash has surrounded himself with a team eager to work outside of the system he calls “Wack World” and get back to a time of creating simply for the sake of being creative. His latest endeavor is Blakroc, a collaboration with rock group the Black Keys and an onslaught of hip-hop heavyweights, including Mos Def, Jim Jones, Raekwon and the RZA (read our full review here).

At DD172 we caught up with Dash, sitting alongside like-minded artists Mos and Curren$y, who are working with New Orleans rapper and producer Jay Electronica on another Dash-directed project called Center Edge Territory. In this extensive interview, Dash talks about Blakroc, DD172 and his new outlook on making music.
