PIFA Performance

Here’s the impromptu performance I did with Dave P and members of the Philadelphia Orchestra this week in support of PIFA.

Although, it’s a bit hard to see me since I’m black, wearing all black, and tucked in the back, you can still see my hands and hear the cuts. ha! Good enough I guess. Not the best angle visually or sonically but check it.

My hope is that if there is a next time, there will be a better angle for lighting and that we’ll actually get an opportunity to rehearse. Either way, I’m honored to have been apart of the situation and will definitely take part again if invited. Trying to do it all in 2010.

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…

Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts

This morning, I had the honor and pleasure of performing with an Ensemble from the Philadelphia Orchestra and Dave P at the Kimmel Center. The event was a press conference to announce the PIFA (Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts). It is scheduled to launch in April of 2011 and will feature music, dance, fashion, cuisine, poetry, fine arts, and more with a focus on Paris circa 1910-1920. This will be exciting for our city as there will be a ton of free events across the city during the 3 week run of the festival. Read more about PIFA Right Here.

Footage from the Press Conference will be uploaded later today and can also be seen on the evening news on both CBS and NBC.
