So here’s another reminder of the event happening tonight. The Red Bull Music Academy is a series of workshops put together by people who are in the business of music. They schedule the sessions all around the world a couple times a year and invite guest speakers to come and shed light on what they do to give attendees true insight on the entire process from the studio to the stage to the shelf. Past speakers included Madlib, Phonte, Leroy Burgess, A-Trak, DJ Red Alert and Chuck D. among dozens of others. They have done sessions in places like Rome, Capetown, and Melbourne, Australia. Overall it’s a great opportunity for independent artists looking to get their foot further in the door, learn from people actually making it happen, and travel in the process.

Yearly, Red Bull conducts info sessions to give potential attendees a piece of the experience on a local basis. Tonight’s event is an after party for that info session.

If you are an aspiring artist, producer, or DJ in Philly who is trying to take it to the next level, you don’t want to miss this session.  The after party flyer is in my previous blog update. I can’t wait to see y’all out. It is becoming rare to have hip-hop shows in Philly that are worth coming out to so I’m looking forward to it.

Also, if you’re on my site, you may notice the button to the right of this update with the little Sonny James character throwing around mixtapes. If you click on it, it will direct you to my first on-line store. I have a couple CDs available there and as of now that’s about it but of course, I’ll be expanding on the inventory within the next couple of weeks. I’ll officially be starting the Mr. Sonny James merchandise campaign. You’ll only be able to get it from here so keep checking back for new items.

Finally, the newest episode of The Difference is now available and features a mix of joints from the past and present, courtesy of ya boy. I hope you dig it.
