Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.Inspectah Deck in a stil from his Montreality interview

Inspectah Deck sat down in an abandoned he ever-focused crew at Montreality in an abandoned public schools store-room (it looks like) to chop it up properly, discussing everything from his high school years with classmates and future Wu-ambassadors Method Man, Raekwon and U-God to the book he's writing to tattoos and past lives. Convo like that, seems like there should be some cognac and some weed involved and some obscure kung fu flick playing on mute in the background but, hey. We'll take it.
