South West London is home of my boy ‘Art Daley’ and the ‘Crook Street Gang’.
Art by name and art by nature, literally getting it how you live.
Its all about expression for Arthur Dales – being able to project and exhibit his deepest desires and bring his dreams to life for all to witness.
Arthur Dales has a fresh approach to his music and considers himself ‘A Pimp’ in the game amongst a host of suckers and busters. He brings you his own ideals thoughts and words with a silky smooth delivery that reveals his West Coast G-Funk influences and as such his music stays reminiscent of the 90′s era (the golden era).

He released his first tape ‘High Stakes and Ice Bracelets‘ on June 1st 2010 and his second, ‘Daily Bread‘ on July 13th 2010.
Both are available for *free download*

He has worked with the likes of Trife the God and G-Dep out in the states and has supported Ghostface Killah in concert also having aspirations of going out to LA and working with some West Coast artists in the near future.
New single So Distinctive features Rozar The Great , a Detroit native and an international Crook street affiliate, the song was produced by Pablo Ritmo a German Latin American beat maker working out of Stuttgart.
Big n Bad was produced by Big Siege, a life time friend of Art and South West London resident.
The video directed by Rozar features up and coming actress/ model/ singer/ rapper  Aziza, who is also a Crook Street affiliate.
Its all about unconventional aesthetics, a sexy bad bitch with tattoos and piercings on top of a roof with a pair of crooks, its just some good old gangster shit. lol.
Pointless but affective!
Its all about exhibiting the style and culture which consists of manly =
good music,
good weed and bad women!

The third feature length tape which features the song ‘So Distinctive‘ is ‘Daley Punishment‘ due September 13th, this tape like the previous two will feature in house production from the likes of Death Ro (Crook Street Beat Maker) and features from the likes of Sky-i (Crook Street Gang Member).
As a unit Crook Street like to operate in the old fashion way of keeping everything in house in terms of producers and collaborations, for the time being until they have established their own brand and following and all members have been showcased.
This has been taken from the Death row Records approach to the hip hop game in the nineties, doing things for yourself!
That approach commands respect so that is what they get!

Art has a keen interest in different forms of art ranging from Tattoos to fashion and has even got his own tattoo set up which he uses to tattoo himself from time to time and an the odd female fan here and there.
He has designed sun glasses for London street wear label, Ask Your Girl and is an avid supporter of Uk street brands such as Jilted Royalty, Trapstar, Benj Art and Re Re’s, All Sorts!
He digs old skool cars like Mk 1 Ford Escort’s and Mk 1 VW Rabbit’s going to galleries and smoking rare strains of potent marijuana…oh yeah and bad women lol!

A man of my own thinking, my custom MK1 RS2000‘s gonna be ready soon, pics’l be up on the blog.
ANUVA LEVEL SHIT! ….(Obviously!)
