Carter is a Houston born Hollywood housed blasSted emcee. He didn’t wan’t to reveal too much because he says most of it is still a work in progress. But he’s got a turtle neck of ink above his shoulders two small pieces on his face, and a dime piece on his arm at all times. Not to mention his music knocks. Get up on magic!

YO it’s HOLLYWOOOOOOOD! It is almost impossible to understand how someone can be fresh at as many things as Chicago based artist Hollywood Holt. He’s a successful Emcee, dance floor rocking Dj, Break Dancer, pool shark, and business owner to name just a few. ( He also rocked one of our earliest parties in SF) Hollywood Holt has more irons in the fire than a Renaissance era blacksmith and he shuffles them all around with mastery. He’s also awesomely BLASSTED, living the supreme freedom of making his living off his creativity  and expressing himself in multiple mediums, even on the canvas of his skin. There are no limits to what home boy can do and whatever he does he’ll do it big and in style.  That’s why Hollywood Holt is the current  feature in the never ending lifestyle of the YUNG & BLASSTED. Stay tuned for more from 24kMilkCrate on Hollywood Holt in the next few days.

Shane is a San Mateo graf legend and business man. Starting in the early 90’s he held it down as

San Mateo’s premier hip hop record store Below The Surface, which when times changed he flipped into a successful online business So Far West. He’s got a nose for successful new hustles like a fox smells water in the desert. He does it all. But lately you can find him at one of his two barbershops, San Mateo Zoo or Headshots holding it down with a straight edge razor and liners, with an all hitter cast of 10 barbers working his shop’s chairs ceaselessly 6 days a week. Appointments are a necessity.

With an acute business mind he’s always got two or three new projects in the works. Next on deck is the

expansion of his San Mateo Zoo location to incorporate a full fitted hat shop along with blue print plans for out of state projects that shall remain low key for now. Nothing is out of grasp for this humble dude who’s only comment on his success is “Anyone can do it”. Humility has gone a long long way for this yung entrepreneur. Oh and did we mention the  homie is BLASSTED! GET UP ON MAGIC!

This is Lucky a third generation English bespoke suit taylor from East London. His BlasSted all seeing eye of the Egyptian God Horus goes ill with his personal style which consists of fine cut suits for gentleman. I always like the juxtaposition of savage looking tattoos and suits. Duder is very punk rock looking. I might have to hit Lucky up some time soon to get something tailored.

How did you get your start in the ink business?

Well I was working here (Fun City Tattoos) and one of the owners Johnathan Shaw came in one day and basically fired everybody and told me to sink or swim. And I only did 5 tattoos at that point. So I went from doing 5 tattoos to doing tattoos 7 days a week.

Before that what got you into tattooing?

I used to draw all over myself. But really I didn’t want to go to school. I didn’t want to deal with bullshit. Tattooing seemed like the only job I can be a degenerate at and still make money.

How long have you been tattooing?
