Alphabet Aerobics.
"Alphabet Aerobics." It’s not just a song—it’s a lyrical masterpiece by Gift of Gab (Timothy Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley), the brains behind Blackalicious. Their ability to weave through the alphabet with such finesse inspired me to create this series of posters, with each design representing a line from the song.
I wanted to capture the energy and creativity that Blackalicious poured into their work, and I hope these posters do justice to their genius.
I started this project a while ago, but life happened—things got busy, and I ended up setting it aside for a bit. Honestly, I just kind of forgot about it for a while. But recently, I came back to it with fresh eyes, and I’m excited at the prospect of finishing the whole song.
Artificial amateurs aren't at all amazing
Analytically, I assault, animate things
Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat
Buildings are broken, basically I'm bombarding
Casually create catastrophes, casualties
Canceling cats got their canopies collapsing
Detonate a dime of dank daily doin' dough
Demonstrations, Don Dada on the down low
Eatin' other editors with each and every energetic
Epileptic episode, elevated etiquette
Furious fat fabulous fantastic
Flurries of funk felt feeding the fanatics
Gift got great global goods gone glorious
Gettin' Godly in his game with the goriest
Hit 'em high, hella hype, historical
Hey holocaust hints hear 'em holler at your homeboy
Imitators idolize, I intimidate
In a instant, I'll rise in a irate state
