Have you been waiting your entire life for P. Tricky to open up a video?
Something — the universe, fate, astrology — is saying today may be your lucky day. Maybe!
Naquan Rollings took the “Roadkill” series over to his YouTube channel for the latest installment. (The first three are over on Thrasher.) It features part’s worth of footage from Chucky Lane, Pero Simic, Jiro Platt and Christian Henry, and frequent appearances from Nikolai Piombo, Carl Aikens, Ish Cepeda, Mark Suicu, and many more. It is a half New York / half Paris project — actually, maybe it leans a lil’ heavier on the hometown clips.
With so many of the recent New York videos we’ve posted taking the approach of scouring under-scoured corners for hidden gems, a video like this will remind you that there’s always more than one way to do it. “Roadkill: Episode 4” takes the classicist’s route of barging all the densest zones of the city — FiDi, midtown, Soho — and rolling the dice at all of them. The opening montage should cue you in to what that’s like in practice, and why it’s ultimately always worth it ❤️
Naquan is also selling a zine to commemorate the project, which you can buy online here, or in person from Blank Mag Books (17 Eldridge Street.)
