Infamy is a documentary that journeys into the 'dangerous lives and obsessed minds' of six of America's most prolific graffiti artists. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Doug Pray (of Hype! and Scratch fame), and with the aid of writer, publisher and graffiti guru Roger Gastman, Infamy aims to take the viewer deep into the world of 'street legends' Saber, Toomer, Jase, Claw, Earshot and Enem.
With brutal honesty, humour and charisma, these artists reveal why they are willing to risk everything to spray paint their cities with tags, throw-ups, and full-colour murals. You'll also meet Joe 'The Graffiti Guerilla' Connolly, a notorious 'buffer' who paints out graffiti on his neighborhood’s walls with a vengeance matched only by those who vandalised them. From the streets of the South Bronx to the solitude of a San Francisco tunnel, from high atop a Hollywood billboard to North Philadelphia for a lesson in 'Philly-style tag,' from the Mexican border to a Cleveland train yard, Infamy doesn't analyse or glorify graffiti... it takes you there, and brings it to life.
Now, as I have yet to sit down and watch Infamy, I am putting-off reviewing it until a later date. Instead, I am posting the (largely) graffiti-themed soundtrack that accompanies it. Personally, I recommend 'Don't Get Caught' (Planet Asia and Evidence), 'Throwin' Up Letters' (KRS-One and Rakaa Iriscience), 'Kings in the Game' (B-Real and Sick Jacken), 'Graff Superstars' (B&G) and 'Spoken Graff' (Mike the Poet).
Whilst I appreciate that hip-hop is somewhat of an acquired taste, I urge you all to expand your musical palate and give it a listen. Remember kids, having leprosy is not an automatic corollary to a predilection for hip-hop, so I stress that you have nothing to fear by venturing into pastures new.
