Yes it’s part 2 (and 3!) of Soy Rakas University, a seminar in “urban studies” conducted by professors Raka Dun and Raka Rich of Los Rakas, shot by Nina Parks. First we get a quick preview of the raka-face tattoo Dun is fitting to get on his arm and then it’s straight to master class with guest lecturer/tattoo artist Orio Guerava of San Francisco’s Soul Patch Tattoo Parlor for the full tat session, including play-by-play commentary by Rich in the background.
In case we haven’t mentioned, Los Rakas Chancletas y Camisetas Bordadas EP drops a week from Tuesday, on Aug. 23. LargeUp is proud to present the EP release event at Tammany Hall just a few days before, on Friday the 19th. Somewhere in between–Saturday the 20th—they invade Central Park Summerstage. Stay tuned–same Raka time, same Raka channel.
