Okay, here’s where I make the request that you all be in the house. Starting this coming Sunday, we begin celebrating 5 years of The Walnut Room in Philadelphia all week. A bunch of special events are planned that are all gonna be bananas. Sunday night, I’ll be returning from SXSW to rock with Rich Medina, Questlove, and King Britt for Little Giant‘s Birthday party. It’s been a while since we all played together in any city so I’m looking forward to this one. Next Saturday, DJ Tony Touch comes in from NYC to join me on the wheels to wrap up the entire week of festivities. Expect to sweat out every strand of hair on this night. Thanks for rocking with me this past year and change on Saturdays and for supporting a dope venue since it opened 5 years ago. This is our way of saying we appreciate your support. Rock on…

This week, you can catch me with Bahamadia alongside  Invincible, Waajeed, Tiye Pheonix and more at the Emergence Media Showcase on Friday. So many other dope events are going all week so if you read my blog and see me out, say Whatup!

On March 9, 2010, the world lost The Notorious B.I.G. I normally don’t celebrate or commemorate death but his loss made such an impact on hip hop. Especially on the east coast, everyone online today is remembering Christopher Wallace and the music he brought to us in the short 24 years he was here.

I’ll be playing Life After Death all day today and definitely playing some of his classics this weekend at the club.

RIP Biggie…

Sup y’all.

I promised to blog more this year. With being so busy in my real life, often my virtual life falls by the way-side. Thanks to all of you who have been checking out, downloading, and spreading the word about our 10 Years of Illvibe Mixtape. It is a trip down memory lane. A special shout out needs to be extended to Lee Jones for including the project as the 100th mix on the Sundae iPhone app. That was a big deal so thanks homie! Soon come the new projects.

One love to Fly Girrl, Laiya, and Afrodjiak for an awesome event the other night.  If you missed it, Black Thought from the Legendary Roots, sat down and opened up totally, discussing everything from how he got his start working underage at a pizza shop, to the untimely murder of both of his parents, to his lack of concern about The Roots’ music appearing on commercial radio. Very inspiring night and interview. Hopefully there will be a clip online sooner than later so I can share it with all of you who couldn’t be there.

Speaking of The Roots, I just found this clip of them performing with Ludacris on Jimmy Fallon. “How Low” is my ish right now and has been for months. Luda is one of the main artists right now that consistently causes me to pay attention to the south.
