Bahamadia & Hezekiah @ SOBs (c) Village Slum - 2010

Bahamadia, Invincible, and Hezekiah (c) Village Slum - 2010

Last night, I rocked in NYC at SOBs with Bahamadia, Hezekiah, and Invincible for Statik Selektah’s Album Release Party.  Everyone was there from DJ Premier to Styles P to Buckshot, to Freeway. Quite a party. By the time, M.O.P. jumped on stage, I was done and ready to have a fork stuck in me. No love to homeboy who was on stage yelling at the crowd to tuck their chains in out of respect for his crew. Apparently, Freddy Foxx put a silence to that rhetoric minutes later.

Tonight, I’ll be guest DJing on the Living Proof Radio Show with Mars and DJ Ambush. Be sure to tune in from 10pm-12am on Volta Radio.

I plan to play plenty of exclusives for y’all to vibe out to. Shout out to the homie DJ Boogie Blind (X-Men) as well, DJing on Beatminerz Radio today from 6pm-8pm. He was rocking it last night until he was rudely interrupted by homie who got his face checked by Bumpy Knuckles. Such is life…

Tonight is a busy night.

First KRS-ONE & Buckshot get down at The Trocadero for the release of their new album that came out yesterday. Then The Red Bull Public Assembly Party at Marbar.  And last, Superdope with DJ Phsh at One. If you’re in Philly tonight, you have some rounds to make.

If you’re in NYC however, come holla at me over at APT rocking at Lil’ Ricky’s Ribshack. Madness everytime I get the opportunity to play this party.  Shout to Rich Medina, Akalepse, and Tracy.  See y’all later.

Little Giant Media was chosen to put together the biggest, hardest banger in West Phil’s newest music venue (the one with a wall of windows, so you can really show off your stuff!.) Get sweaty fast with the relentless power of DJ Diamond Kuts and her Bmore lovin’ club jams, get dutty all over Mad Decent’s DJ Sega and bring it all back home with Sammy Slice and his unforgiving hip hop jams. Drink specials abound!

“Red Bull has challenged two of the top party producers and promoters in Philly to show us what they’ve got. These are the people that keep our city’s life exciting and fresh night in and day out. Each Promoter is working with the same tools; a club of their choice, a budget to be used at their discretion, and a DJ they book. Red Bull doesn’t ever like to cramp anyone’s style so whatever else they choose to do at the party is on the individual Promoter. The Promoter who produces the best party, picked by a panel of experts, will get a budget to make their dream event a reality in at the Red Bull Space, NYC.”

Tonight, if you’re in New York or can make the trip to New York, it will a worthy cause for you to make it out to Santos Party House. Kon of the world renown crate digging DJ duo, Kon & Amir has been in the hospital and on bedrest for months now with bloodclots and fluid in his lungs, among other serious life threatening symptoms. As I have also experienced many times, being a DJ can get you many fringe benefits in and outside the club. However, in the hospital, they don’t give a damn if you’re not insured. Hence, Kon was forced out of the hospital due to a rising bill although he is still in terrible condition. The top dogs of the DJ community in NY are playing a benefit tonight in order to lend some assistance and help Kon get back on his feet and back behind the turntables. I plan to support and you should to if you can.

A couple of weeks back, I attended an intimate event in Chocolate City in which N’Dambi performed and also did a Q&A while promoting her new album which drops on October 6th. It was great to see so many faces out, still, to promote soul music that is honest. There were a bunch of other artists in the house to hear her do her thing as well.  Below here is a photo taken of many of the artists who stuck around til the end of the night.

And here’s a peak at her new video, Can’t Hardly Wait. Enjoy.

What a week! First off, one love to all the folks who came out to check Mr. Lif and I in Boston and Pittsburgh this past weekend.  The shows were mad fun. Big up to all the folks who supported the merch, especially.  For the first time, I brought out the official Mr. Sonny James T-Shirts and people were very supportive. Nice one. While I was away, my man, DJ Phillee Blunt held it diggy down at The Walnut Room. Thanks dude. Within the past few days, I’ve been to back and forth to NYC, DC, Philly, Boston, and Pittsburgh playing and enjoying events. Here are some pics.

Finally, for those of you that missed my appearance on the Afromentals Mixshow with DJ Jamad last week, here is the download of the full 2 hour show.  Enjoy it and spread the knowledge.
