The publication, dubbed <a href="http://sevensclash.com/">Sevens Clash</a> in homage to the reggae song “Two Sevens Clash” by the band Culture, was conceived as a vehicle to tell the lesser-known stories of Kingston from a street-level point of view. To provide readers with unfiltered access to the city’s art, music, sports, and street life, however, the pair would have to do so in a compressed, one-week time frame — the duration of their self-financed trip.</p> <p>Stewart, who grew up in Jamaica, had arranged for he and Richter to stay at his father’s home in Kingston. And in order to gain access to a number of sources and subjects in a short amount of time, he enlisted the help of an old friend. “My longtime homie James Porteous, aka JP DA Manager, was our fixer,” Stewart says. “He was instrumental in getting shit together.” The resulting reports and photographs offer a colorful and revealing document of day-to-day life in Kingston — from profiles of dancehall artist <a href="http://sevensclash.com/post/30392123995/the-ballad-of-tommy-lee">Tommy Lee</a> and the aptly named <a href="http://sevensclash.com/post/32390669907/tattoo-phillip">Tattoo Phillip</a> (who is, after all, a tattooist), to <a href="http://sevensclash.com/post/33366717302/rockersinternational">record shopping at Rockers</a> on “Beat Street” and late-night encounters on <a href="http://sevensclash.com/post/32868721267/riponroad">Ripon Road</a>, to name only a few.</p> <p><a href="http://storyboard.tumblr.com/post/46338761750/sevens-clash-on-street-life-in-jamaica-last">Read More</a></p> </blockquote>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/46588297713http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/46588297713Fri, 29 Mar 2013 08:58:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9aa40604f74f7767a9acf68c061ba63a/tumblr_mjx6e2irxH1r064gzo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sfmoma.tumblr.com/post/45767099237/what-is-art-we-made-this-word-cloud-out-of-all">sfmoma</a>:<strong>“<a href="http://storify.com/sfmoma/what-is-art">What is art?</a>”</strong><span> We made this word cloud out of all your answers to the question, so if you ever need to explain what art is, consider this your crowd-sourced reference :)</span></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45779921906http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45779921906Tue, 19 Mar 2013 17:08:16 -0400<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kJY1zNgfYUQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span class="watch-title yt-uix-expander-head" id="eow-title" title="Konshens Ft Miguel - Take You Ova">Konshens Ft Miguel - Take You Ova</span></h1></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45581493920http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45581493920Sun, 17 Mar 2013 09:20:59 -0400konshenstake you ovamusic<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d6ac13bda8d811f7cade041f0fc457ec/tumblr_mhstaa6lJe1rhleojo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://marleyfamily.tumblr.com/post/42424628183/its-bobs-birthday-today-february-6th">marleyfamily</a></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45581363217http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45581363217Sun, 17 Mar 2013 09:18:10 -0400<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_45500731972" src="http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45500731972/audio_player_iframe/hwtroots/tumblr_meoi9fHvsu1qja9fr?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fhwtroots%2F45500731972%2Ftumblr_meoi9fHvsu1qja9fr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://louxosenjoyables.tumblr.com/post/37422546247/be-the-one-the-heptones">louxosenjoyables</a>:<strong>Be The One- The Heptones</strong></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45500731972http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45500731972Sat, 16 Mar 2013 11:08:25 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a2355852231e8bb996065056fa4fe9ee/tumblr_mjpr3e22cd1qc3z8po1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><h1><a href="http://www.designweek.co.uk/industry-voice/four-corners-an-interview-with-michael-thompson-aka-freestylee/3036152.article" target="_blank">Four Corners - an interview with Michael Thompson, AKA Freestylee</a></h1></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45429619188http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/45429619188Fri, 15 Mar 2013 13:54:50 -0400DesignerMichael Thompson<p><a href="http://www.graphicart-news.com/world-a-reggae-international-reggae-poster-exhibition-in-athens-greece/#.ULjfAuRX0lo" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.graphicart-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/English-Final-Invitation2-670x917.jpg"/></a></p>http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/36884523901http://hwtroots.tumblr.com/post/36884523901Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:30:36 -0500international reggae contest<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/46810710" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Indigeneous Resistance 27 :: Hawaii/Jamaican Mix.
