Ejecto Tattoos!!

Image

So I get’s this tweet from @Chiefwigz (DTTS records, WYcypher, Yorkshire cat on the scene since year dot) a few days back saying he was wanting a Eject Demon tattoo. Tweets were exchanged… @majorkuts (Ejecto’s photographer and top fella!) jibs in swiftly…”I want one too” haha…

I’m sat there shocked…thinking this is unreal. Two good friends both skilled in there own fields, both wanting something that started off life on the streets of leeds in spraypaint and markers on walls, bins, and anywhere else I could put them. Now these chaps want to get it permanently imbedded into their skin…wow!! What an honour for these guys to suggest it…I was buzzing about it! 

A couple of days later Chief wigs contacts majorkuts and me…we’re on for thursday, Hack my good buddy (former vandal now reformed tattooist) has a spot free in the morning…Eject we need you to doodle the demons on! During these messages my friend Louise gets word (never one to miss out on a party or a tattoo) and we all get to Hacks for a spot of indelible demonix! 

Giggles were shared, then I got to work drawing out the demons for Hack to set them permanently into the willing skin cells of my buddies! During this time I was constantly bullied and nearly bantered into getting my first tattoo…but kept my no distinguishing marks rule ( incase MI6 ever call me up for service 😉 .

Big up to Chief wigs, Majorkuts , Louise (@CrazyCatzLadyyy), Amog, and Hack for indelible inkings!

Ejecto’s meets Donald D

Image

A few weeks ago while I was busy getting together elements for the Ejecto’s launch party,so my phone rings and my good friend LSK says: “Yo I@% get yourself to round to mine…I’m recording Donald D!!”…I instantly drop everything and grab some Ejecto badges, stickers and tings(Tee’s we’re still waiting to be screened), and jet straight round!

After a swift tussle and few swift headbutts from LSK’s hench Staffordshire Bull terrier Silas…I manage to fend my way into the studio, where I see my good buddy Zulu Monkee Monks (Zulu nation member, Artist, MC, Graffiti artist and illustrator of those siiick Nightmares on wax handrawn covers back in the day), Mickey Redvenom ,Chris Dawkins(Guitarist to people like, Nightmares on wax, LSK, Finley Quaye, Jimi Tenor and many more) and my good buddy LSK who instantly introduces me to the great hip-hop legend that is Donald D(The B-Boys, Ice T, Afrika Islam).

At first I was shocked by how larger than life this geezer is…the man henched out the studio!! All us skinny lil British dudes next to this giant of a person and musician. Firm handshakes and back pats were exchange, LSK big ups my work to Donald D…I nervously and humbly stare at my shelltoes…then try change the subject-ish…”Donald here’s some goodies and badges …sorry I can’t give you a tee but still waiting on em back” …we chat the breeze about graf and hiphop ,then he notices the venue and say’s “Yo you got a Sedgwick Av too!!…flyers dope man, if I was in the country on that day I would done you a set!!” …That would of been biiiiiiiig!!!

Few mins later Donald set to work firing up the booth!! LSK mixing away doing his ting…Chris Dawkins on the guitar…Monkee Monks, Mickey Redvenom and me watching in amazement!! It was quality experience to see the legend that is Donald D do his thing in the studio.

Big thanks to LSK as always for letting me on the mad world, and Donald D, Chris Dawkins, Mickey Redvenom , and Monkee Monks!! Then it was on to the WYcypher for my weekly fix of freestyle raps!

Just another day in the land of Ejecto’s. – Epeace Eject.

Behind The scenes : Ejecto's Homepage/Promo shots

On a pretty warm day in Leeds, majorkuts(Ejecto’s photographer) and I filled up his car with cereal boxes, EjectPacks™, badges, spraycans, Chocolate milkshakes and Ejecto’s. These props were to form the homepage of my website and also act as promo shots, suited up like a ‘Demon’!!

Sleep levels were low with the run up to the launch, a stumbley, growly start to the day and me and majorkuts reached the home of ‘PRYS’, a local mc(and top chap!!) from the crazy lil bunch of Leeds hiphop group ‘The Defenders Of Style’! Apparently he had the dopest kitchen in town…ideally suited for our shoot!

I quickly got to work ‘Ejectorizing’ Prys’ kitchen…within a few mins we were good to start getting to work…Big up to ‘PRYS’ for letting us abuse his kitchen and leave Ejecto’s and milk everywhere!

Throughout the day we had support and passers by from some of Leeds phattest cats, big up to : Chiefwigs, Sonar Cousin, @Hollymix, Joe Snow and PRYS’s lil buddy for popping by!! Epeace Ejecto’s!
