Today we release our latest mixtape celebrating 10 years of my crew, Illvibe Collective. As a team, we’ve been putting out mixtapes for a decade and we’ve worked with some of Philly’s dopest MCs and vocalists over the years.  This is a collection of some of our favorite appearances mixed by yours truly and hosted by me and Phillee Blunt courtesy of our radio show, The Sure Shot. Big shout to everyone who’ve been supporting us throughout our time in Philly and as we take things into another phase of Illvibe, we hope your support stands strong. Respect to you all.

Last night, I DJ’d the Philly 360 Reception for The GPMTC.  Among the honorees for 2010 are Marsha Ambrosius, Ursula Rucker, Writtenhouse, Marc Byers, Nikki Jean and several others.  Glad to see artists and entrepreneurs in Philly being recognized for their hard work and talent.

Tonight we rock at The Trocadero.  I’m performing with Hezekiah, Mos Def, De La Soul, Slick, Rick, and Pete Rock.  I feel privileged to have a lineup like this in Philly and mad people from all over the world have hit me up asking how they can see a lineup like this in their town.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed on making that a reality sometime later this year. I believe the show is sold out already so if you managed to get your ticket, be sure to get there early enough to get a good spot and see our full show.  It’s gonna be a fun night!

Recently, DJ Lil’ Dave, Panek, and me did an interview with DJ Metrognome for Ruby Hornet which is an e-zine based in the midwest and catering to the areas of Chicago, Indiana, etc. We discussed the history of Illvibe, our place in Philadelphia, upcoming projects and more. Peep the Interview right HERE.

Due to the heavy snow on the east coast, this and last week, this Friday’s event at Saki Lounge will be cancelled. I was looking forward to rocking out with y’all DC.  It’s been a minute.  Hopefully we’ll be able to reschedule sooner than later when everyone can safely get out the house and move your butts on the dancefloor.

Philly, see you all at Walnut Room this Saturday. Since last week we had to cancel, let’s go harder this week.
