Former club bouncer and Los Angeles native Estevan Oriol got his start in the entertainment business managing tours for huge artists like “House of Pain” and “Cypress Hill” almost 20 years ago.

  Juxtapoz contributing photographer and legend in his own right, Estevan Oriol (Juxtapoz #70), just released this dope collage of old school videos from way back in '97 until now. A 10-year reel collaboration is pretty dope, but Oriol is quick to send shout-outs to ass those who helped his along the way, as he states, “Thanks to all that helped me get all this dope footage: Psycho Realm, Cypress Hill, Boo Yaa, Blink 182, Eminem, D-12, Big Red, DJ Muggs, Screaming Soul Hill, Jae P, The Homies in Los.” Pretty impressive lineup, huh? But you need to remember that's just how Estevan rolls.
