This shows behind the scenes of Las Vegas. Very unique, and great video. Black is creative, cool dude. Much respect ✊ I hope everyone appreciates this underground art.

[@keithwolk]

Finally you found your niche'...Keep finding the soft white under belly of Vegas...this segment was the most outstanding thing I have ever seen you do. Raw, clean, talent that exists in your town. This will springboard your featured artist. Most welcome, as I am one of them. Please, more artists, buskers, musicians....

[@NOTLeavingLV]

Why nit email me if you’re an artist [e-mail]

[@markapuan]

Steven, this is and was a special episode. 6 years ago when I moved to Vegas, a friend of mine opened his kindness and allowed me to stay at his house he was renting a room from. Durring this time I met Black57tcb and his family. Forever will be in their debt. His artwork is amazing hands down!! Thanks for this one. Super special and sentimental for me!!

[@carocama4020]

This is great journalism. I was so ignorant of the graffiti world. Thanks for the education Steven. This video is beautifully done.

[@PeteBreen]

Loved this informative interview in action. Steven you are a great storyteller and have a great gift for deep interviews. You treat the people you interview with respect in addition to honoring them by doing your background homework on their craft as well as the social element that accompany their craft. Well don. Respect! Wow, that was a nice overlay of creative insights and engagements while conducting an interview. Wow... the skill of "Black" wow.. just super... I just noticed he has the pendant that represents Mercury. hmmm.

[@jamescox5626]

This has been just amazing. What a great idea for a show. Next time I come to Vegas I am going to get him to do a painting for me. I love the fact that he put your moniker on it- not leaving Las Vegas. I wonder what shape his lungs are in ?

[@exclusivelybill677]

Very interesting video. So what if its not Vegas specific, its NEAR Vegas. A fast half hour indeed. Wad......up.

[@DanielMartinez-kv5tz]

The Memorial park should be named after Lalo's son SO to Spoke as well as everyone else for inspiring me to Graff 94

[@TeddyRhodesArt]

This guy paints on the same art team as me. Super talented.

[@robs1714]

Really great video. Black seems like a good dude.

[@hanu720]

Should be in jail, it stinks up the landscape

[@slotsharks197]

We still use a lot of manganese in steelmaking.

[@NOTLeavingLV]

Yes for sure but as I mentioned these days it’s imported vs mined in the USA from what my research indicated.

[@Lani-Grace]

And the tree breathes without lungs even though the fly has blood through its veins it breathes the same way that the tree does the fly doesn't have lungs either

[@frankramirez4818]

"Pompsie" and "Turn it up World" are going to go cross out Not Leaving Las Vegas and tag their channels on the wall. Then you guys might get on some street stuff over you tube! "Laughing Emoji".

[@frankramirez4818]

Artistic guy. I am joking

[@DCo923]

How does Henderson keep over building when Lake Meade is the lowest it has ever been? Where do all these people think their water is going to come from? And a lot of these lands are contaminated.

[@NOTLeavingLV]

Lake meads water doesn’t get used a lot in Las Vegas. It goes to California, Arizona, California and Mexico mostly.

It’s illegal for a damn good reason. Go to Seattle and see what these so-called artists have done.

[@JG-jg9zz]

Agree. It’s a crime for a good reason - not your property!

[@S0ulR3avR]

Stfuuuuuu

[@GnarlsGnarlington]

Wow, you are stealing Pomp's style of music now?

[@NOTLeavingLV]

Wow, you think that he was the first one to use that style of music? Honestly? Really now. And usually I wouldn’t even reply but this was just such a strange comment. Cmon man.
