Ep. 3 - Crushin' The City w/ Reals, Big Odz And Dizne

We don’t get the perspective of writers too often, particularly writers that have been active in that life for close to three decades, so we sat down with Reals, Big Odz and Dizne to get some insight and perspective from a few Crush City’s own. Beyond Crush City, these individuals have transcended graffiti by impacting hip hop culture as a whole. Reals is a member of the Ironlak writer team and also one quarter of former hip hop crew, Writers Anon. Big Odz (Odie) is co-owner of Crush City and possibly the most referenced graffiti artist in Australian hip hop history. While B-Line killer Dizne has elevated letter styles and creativity into a focus on design and more commercial art.. All while still buying rap records and painting track-sides. Beyond that we talk classic whole cars, classic music and classic delinquency. We talk Reals painting for Golden Era and gracing magazine covers, we talk Odie’s short lived rap career - that saw him record demos with some of Australia’s finest. We talk with Diz about reaching the top of a train and get some insight from all the three on what it is to sell spray paint in an era of safe and sanitised “street art”. There’s a lot in this episode so we hope you enjoy it. Press play and soak up some knowledge from a few of the country’s finest.
