Die Slow 2, history of violence, Keep six, Doug, Label, Surgen and now Big Miles return to give us more of the Canadian street bombing, freight hitting SDK experience. Like I said for D.S. Vol 1, I first found SDK on You tube with this vid of Keep 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_RqMQyBAIw&feature=channel_page

I thought this was a sign of great things to come but like the first DVD I just ain’t feeling it on this one either. It starts with some sped up shaky camera action that kind of made my head hurt as I tried to watch someone go around slapping up stickers, then, as if it was all building up to this moment… Doug puts 3 small tags up on a wall in broad daylight. I’m not saying this is lame just not what I expected after such a crazy build up. Keep six hits a freight next, it’s big and its silver (the piece not the freight) but the Keep six quality I was expecting just wasn’t there, he saves the day with his trademark “Keeper” tag though and then it’s straight into Doug hittin up the streets, the Pawn broker’s throwie is sick and it’s obvious this guy has got his letters down, Label comes next with some street and trackside tags and throwies, all good but a bit similar to the stuff from Vol.1. Then it’s Keep 6 with Nacs, they hit a freight and this time he’s on point.

After a brief intro to new boy Big Miles it’s back to more LBL throws followed by Surgen hitting freights but like Keep’s first silver, this gold piece just don’t do it for me, the silver piece that follows ain’t much better, WUFC SDK this is not. After a few minutes of nightime footage that reveals a STOMPDOWN KILLERS huge roadside silver there are some still pictures of the work of Big Miles, the pics look great but then we see him paint with Surgen in a freight yard sandwiched between to trains which means you never get to see the finished piece which is annoying after watching them paint it. Label returns with another ok silver freight then we get to see what Big Miles can do, he seems to like writing “Tax This” everywhere and like all the SDK guys his handstyle is amazing but as a piecer, for me, it’s not that great, the SDK are bombers, they get up and get up everywhere for which they deserve extra credit but wether this is enough to make a dvd out of I’m still unsure. Next is a section featuring Nacs who produces the best thing on the DVD so far, a huge silver and black piece but then its back to Big Miles and his hand styles followed by a session with Nacs and Surgen at the freight yard, it’s obvious that these guys can paint so I don’t know if they got nervous being filmed or something but once again I aint feeling it. Next we go on a boat cruise (no really!) Where the SDK have some fun drawing on a selection of lovely ladies and then apart from some more footage of Surgen tagging that’s about it!!

To sum up, like I said the SDK are bombers and they do the whole writing on freight trains and road sides in broad daylight really well, they’re definitely hardcore but I get the feeling this has gone to their heads and what we get as a result is a dvd about how “hard” they are, how much weed they smoke, how much whiskey they drink and how many ladies they can get on their boat to draw on rather than just showing off the skills they obviously have, I think they have been sucked into the whole gangster lifestyle a bit to much and they come across as a bit wannabe, that said though when I bought the DVD it did come with a fly “silver” chain which I will definitely wear the next time I go Gang Bangin!!

3 out of 5 Hopsta’s ….think about buying it if you like bombing or you want a fly “silver” chain.
