Peace.

I’m headed out to sea aboard one of the Norwegian Cruise Ships. I’ll be gone til mid September so unfortunately I won’t be able to update as regular since I’ll be on the water the entire month. Please continue to support the dope parties in Philly as some really talented DJs will be sitting in for me at the residencies. I’ll see everyone soon!

Back From Brazil and Wow.

Well to say that our trip to Brazil was eventful would be an understatement. It was quite a journey and although it’s a nice place to visit, I’m just glad to be back. The circumstances were just way beyond what I’ve ever experienced on the road. And I was convinced I just about experienced it all. From Continental Airlines being extremely difficult although we followed all the protocol for traveling to the cancelled show that we missed from not making it to Sao Paulo in enough time, to the police that were called to our hotel because there were too many black Americans sitting in front of it, it seemed to be one thing after a friggin nother. By the time, I sat on my bed at home in Philly, I couldn’t even move anymore. Traveling is not always what it’s cracked up to be. And as I prepare to leave once again this week, I just hope my trip to the Bahamas is safe and uneventful. I’ll update when I have internet access.

*Taking a deep breathe*

So if you’re following me on Twitter, you must have an idea of how hectic it was for us to get to Brazil to keep our Conscious Porn Tour dates. It’s amazing how a screw up of one person can affect so many people on two continents for days! The jist of the situation without getting too far into it, was that we needed our passports and visas sooner than we received them. Because they weren’t delivered until minutes before boarding, we were unable to catch the original flight to Sao Paulo. The next flight wasn’t until 24 hours later. Therefore, the show that was scheduled for Thursday ended up being pushed back to Saturday. Nonetheless, we’re here and ready to rock n roll. Our time has already been full as we’re scrambling trying to recover the lost day. The homie Ephram and crew are taking great care of us. It’s always a pleasure to go to a new place and work with people who are seasoned, professional, and friendly. Pics below. More to come…
