Airborne Mark “CloudQuartered”…

by

Long term Friend of ours and past VNA contributing writer Airborne Mark (Graffiti name The Pilot) is back once again with a new EP of his distinctive rhymes, this time entitled “CloudQuartered“..

Airborne Mark - CloudQuartered EP

The man with the unique sound and even more unique hair is back!  as I have said before, I am a massive fan of people who grab life by the balls and make shit happen. Mark is no exception. Pushing to create a career in both his art and hip hop in his own way and off his own back is impressive and admirable.

The EP can be easily downloaded via www.airbornemark.bandcamp.com

For those of you who dont know, the Burning Ink events are a chance to buy a piece of original artwork, have it tattoo’d on your skin before the art is burnt and destroyed leaving only the tattoo as the only record of the artwork. Its a great concept that has now happened in various cities across the world including London, Paris andNew York…
