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!

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…

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.

Or is it just my De La Soul?

Feelin a lil better today.  I had cabin fever somethin awful last night and forced myself out of bed to go hear Doz and crew do the thing for a lil bit last night at Back 2 Basics.  Loud music heals, especially when the tunes are uplifting. Foreal.

This means I should be up to par by tomorrow this time to rock with the fellas at Ram’s Head in MD.  Hezekiah, with me behind the turntables and Me So Horny on the sax and trumpet, plus De La Soul means, it should be a bananas night. For those of you asking “is De La still at it?” here’s a new joint “Big Mouf” leaked online recently.
