World Premier of a new joint by Mos Def & Madlib. Nice.

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!

Since I was working all of last night in the studio, I missed the BET Awards. I probably wouldn’t have been watching them anyway. But while I was finishing up work in the lab, I did read a bunch of feedback on the cyphers they aired during the show featuring Mos Def, Eminem, Black Thought, Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj and more.  Some verses blew me away. Some didn’t. I’ll let you be the judge. This reminds me how important lyrics still are in this game of fashion and trendiness.
