Sup y’all? I’ve been sleeping like 3-4 hrs a night on average and really trying to manage too much by myself this week and I think it’s starting to catch up with me so I’m not going to be long winded today. Tonight is the SPREAD Benefit tonight in Philly. I’ll be rocking with Bahamadia. 

We’ll be doing an extended set on Monday with Schooly D at Johnny Brenda’s. If you can make both shows, it’ll definitely be worth your effort as both sets are completely different. Selina Carerra, Ethel Cee, and others will be joining us Monday as well.

Tonight after you check our show at Mar Bar, breeze on over to the Arts Garage and party with Rich Medina & Dennis Perez for the return of Afrorikan Vybe, the legendary house and afrobeat party that took place at Fluid for years.  Classic Philly ish. I cannot wait to sweat it out on the dancefloor.

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.

I’m a tad late on this but I just finagled a copy of Rich & Bobbito’s new compilation, The Connection Volume One. Plenty of joints on here to keep you rotating your hips in your chair. And for the DJs who have no idea where to find some of these tunes, they’ve done the work for you. Afterall, these dudes have been instrumental in making this music a standard in clubs across the world. There are classics from Blaze, Rob Swift, Raul Midon, Chico Mann, Soul Ascendants, and more. This is the quintessential compilation for cool people looking for that world dance music. Big up to my big bruddahs Rich Medina and Bobbito for supplying us with something different to put our ears on.  You can find this comp right here.
