Video Premiere: Thievin Stephen - Wall/Therapy 2012 f/ Homeboy Sandman

Alright, let's get on some artsy shit for a minute. Thievin' Stephen, who I previously only knew as a producer (Homeboy Sandman"Calm Tornado"), also happens to be a very skilled artist. This clip we're premiering documents Stephen's creation of his mural for the Wall/Therapy street festival in Rochester this past Summer (which featured some of the biggest names in international street art: ROA, Faith 47, DALeast, Liqen, etc.). Says Stephen: "As the video shows, I created this jammy by spray painting 150+ layers of hand cut stencils, one over the next, until the final image emerged on this wall deep in the heart of ROC City." As you watch his art together, you get an unreleased track from Homeboy Sandman in the background "ROYGBIV (produced by Stephen)." Video directed and edited by Philip Night.
