Insomnia ft. 84

Posted by Sonny James under Artists, Philly, Releases

A while ago. And by “while,” I mean a couple years ago, we recorded a song for The Rootdown.tv compilation featuring Fatnice and A.U.L. P.U.R.P.I.S. of 84. We were talking a lot at the time, about being steadily ignored in Philly even though we were hosting mad parties and releasing multiple mixtapes a year. It seemed like just about everybody was sleeping on us. So we made this joint but only released it on that compilation. We have decided to make it an official release and the song can now be found on iTunes and on our bandcamp music site. Enjoy.

Hezekiah Listening Parties

Posted by Sonny James under Artists, DJs, New York

Peace to everyone who came through to the Walnut Room this past Saturday and rocked out with DJ Supreme La Rock and myself. When damn near the whole club was singing Computer Love, I knew we were having a dope party. I heard Rich rocked it at Tasty Treats as well. This week, you can catch me at LPR in NYC with Rich Medina, Hezekiah, Akalepse, and J. Rocc. If you’re in town, come through and hear the Conscious Porn album. It’s not out until October but you can get a sneak peak on Wednesday night. Unfortunately,  I won’t be making it to the Atlanta date tomorrow night but if you’re in the A, be sure to support my mans and them.

Aiight, I have a busy day and a busy life so, here’s the flyer.

Dear God 2.0 Video

Posted by Sonny James under Artists, Philly, Videos

On July 4th, I had the pleasure of seeing The Roots rip it down at The Art Museum for the Welcome America Festival. Classic Philly experience right there. I remember seeing James Brown there, Tina Marie, The Gap Band, Jay-Z, and even The Fresh Prince with Jazzy Jeff performing Summertime for over 1 million people during Live 8. Some of the most historical music related events took place there. For the second year in a row, The Roots took the stage and invited the legendary Chuck Brown from DC and Chrisette Michelle to make things even more epic. I tried to find footage on youtube but I just couldn’t seem to come across any. For now here’s a clip of The Roots’ new video, Dear God 2.0 from the latest album, How I Got Over which is bananas. Support the home team. The rest of the world does. #Philly
