The UKCs Mister Batlow and FBBBs Mikee Cee on the cover of TNT magazine. What do you know about Power poses?


If you grab the latest issue of TNT magazine a picture taken of me and Mikee Cee from FBBB graces the front. Taken in front of a piece i freestyled at the Big Snow festival 2011 while FBBB were doing backflips and somersaults. Cut out of the picture is the other FBBB crew members Aly and Thom – big up to them man. 

Not amazingly keen on the picture being used without me or Mikee’s permission… But I’m actually more pissed that they flipped the picture! You can’t read the OG colourway Roll with The Ugly tee properly or any FBBB logos but I guess you had to flip the picture to get my head pointing in the right direction… What do you know about power poses ??? Pay attention.

Couple of pieces from Andorra last year

The official trailer:


Some of my most memerable times going to Jumpoff… Will it have the same vibe as before? Will the commercial love grime, streetdance and fashion have got in the last few years change the event? We will see…. See you at Fabric

UKC X ADIDAS X LIONEL MESSI

Going back to where we left off, sometime round September last year we find The Ugly Kids doing what we do best. If you can remember that far back, Lionel Messi came to Brick Lane for an Adidas campaign, promoting his new football boots. Yes. We know. Lionel Messi… in Brick Lane. Of all places. Check the video if you don’t believe me.

On call for artwork for adidas, was yours truly The Ugly Kids Club. This. Is. How. We. Do….

Mister Cee.

Not 100% about it being the Ugly Kids Club (because ‘Im on a Boat’ is) theme but its the thought that counts.
