Ep.226- Danny Diablo / Lord Ezec
Danny Diablo / Lord Ezec for Living Proof Radio. Full episode now on the Living Proof patreon. https://www.patreon.com/livingproofnewyorkDanny Diablo, also known as Lord Ezec, is an iconic figure within New York's hardcore and graffiti scenes. Having formed influential bands such as Crown of Thornz during a pivotal era of New York Hardcore, Ezec naturally blended his graffiti background into the music he made; famously using a Cap One quote to introduce the album "Train Yard Blues", an album whose street-graffiti influence is strongly present throughout the record. His music would touch on the multi-faceted style of his life: speaking on emotions, inner-city living and life's problems. Diablo later expanded into hip-hop and crossover styles. Throughout the years, he has remained an active performer and cultural figure, bridging multiple scenes organically.
