Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, The Fugees, Pharrell all wanted a piece of Philly’s Most Wanted, but then the dream fell apart, forcing Al Baseer Holly to go back to the beginning, finding comfort and success in his first love, painting. We talk about the early days, what went wrong, how he’d do it different and why painting Rita Ora’s Birkin Bag changed everything. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Al Baseer Holly – From Hip Hop to Hip Art

Hi, my name is David Hershkovits. As a founder and, until recently, editor-in-chief of Paper magazine, I have been a long-time advocate for cannabis reform and legalization as well as a supporter of the community and culture surrounding this movement. On Light CultureI, I'll be exploring the exploding cannabis industry and its relationship to our lives and times as told through the voices of some of today's most influential tastemakers -- rappers, writers, artists, fashion designers, models, advocates and activists, influencers, entrepreneurs and others who live the cannabis life, respect its history and embrace its future. Light Culture is brought to you exclusively by Burb -- where cannabis, clothing and culture intersect. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Burb hopes to build on the city's legacy of tolerance and respect and on British Columbia's great gift to the world -- BC Bud.
