Ryshon Jones releases his new mixtape "Basqui." Crazy thing is, Up until yesterday the mixtape name for this was "Basquiat." The name was inspired by the famed NYC artist. The whole point of naming this project "Basqui" was for us not to understand what Ryshon really meant. This project includes production from Rollin Mills, Talen Ted, Sango, Thelonious Martin & Lee Bannon, and features from Sean Falyon, Young Gliss and Benny Love. Download link below tracklist.

Jean-Michel Basquiat was an artist of the 1980s who is credited with bringing the African-American and Latino experience to the elite art world. Born in Brooklyn to a Haitian-American father and a Puerto Rican mother, he drew much of his inspiration from his diverse heritage. He collaborated with famed pop artist Andy Warhol. Basquiat died of a drug overdose at the age of 27.[http://www.biography.com/people/jean-michel-basquiat-185851]
Jean Michel Basquiat is an Artist that I heard about, saw his work, but never really learned about. I never really knew his story. One day I took it upon myself to do some research on him to find out what he is all about. The Documentary The Radiant Child helped me understand a lot about him and his story. So I am sharing the film with you.....
His Story is interesting....how his ambition and love for art drove him to be one of the most influential Art of the Century. I think he didnt know how to cope with the sudden fame. It really took a toll on him. Drugs is the case for alot of famous people that just couldnt handle the fame.
His work is interesting also. the simplicity of the images and is constant use of words in his work are eye catching. with every painting, you can tell that he is trying to say something which appeals to the intellectual. His young age and extreme knowledge were almost unmatched.
His Genius, Like most Geniuses, was not understood during his time. he found himself alone often times. After awhile, he felt like he was being used and that he couldn't trust alot of people. Some people might say it was the Drugs, Some might say that he really was being used and exploited. His Art speaks for itself.......
