Dean Blunt, who released our favorite album of 2014, is now releasing what’s sure to be our favorite collection of receipts of 2015. Cîroc Boyz : vol 1 is a 30-page book that documents “excessive expenses made in the most popular VIP clubs in the hip hop scene” and is available now through NERO Magazine. Samples on NERO’s site include receipts with totals of $40k, $66k, and a whopping $156k.
The book is ostensibly part of a larger project that Blunt has been unraveling over the last several years, including gallery performances like “White Flight,” all-night dance parties like “Ciroc Boyz @ Orleans,” and one-off events like “Urban” (which featured, among other things, men in Cîroc shirts walking around as Blunt played a DVD of comedian Kevin Hart).
Cîroc Boyz : vol 1 is out now via NERO and is limited to 500 copies. I was planning to embed a YouTube video called “cîroc boyz vol.1,” but it has already been taken down (no surprise). Instead, here’s a track called “Urban,” off Hyperdub’s 10.3 comp from 2014.
