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.

What a birthday week! I’ve been on a marathon of events. From my soiree in NYC with Veronica to rocking for Rich Medina at APT while he recovered in bed to the Arts Piazza opening in Philly to Electric Soul with J Boogie to my return to the Walnut Room and more, I’ve been going nonstop. Now I’m back on the road with Lif. Last night I did a special set with Metro at the Knitting Factory in NYC which was the last date on the 10 date Grieves & Budo tour from the west coast to the east coast. I love that so many of my people are mad busy right now. Time to get it in. There will be pics of all of this past week’s activities posted real soon. I’ve been in transit so much I haven’t had time to collect my thoughts. Let alone pics from various cameras. In the meantime, take a peak at a few pics from the 1st leg of the I Heard It Today Tour.

OP!, Statik, DJ Spinna, Ge-Ology
This past weekend, I, along with my homegirl Veronica, celebrated our birthdays at an exclusive party in Brooklyn. We threw a similar party last year but the energy this year was much more intense. DJ Spinna and Ge-Ology joined me and OP! to make the dancefloor even sweatier throughout the night. I thank everyone who came out from close folks in my life like my sister and Drew to Erin, Danny Glover, Mike Adasko, Nelson George, Zarinah, Amani, Krazzy K, Anita, Selina, Nea Posey, Kat, DJ Phsh, and Nova Slim from Soul Bounce just to name a few. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of folks to bring in my 29th birthday with in NYC.
My actual birthday isn’t until this weekend so I will be taking even more birthday shots with friends and family on Friday at Z Bar, Saturday at the Walnut Room and on Sunday at Electric Soul. J-Boogie will be in town from San Francisco to make that one extra funky. Can’t wait to see y’all out! Gotta run…
