*Sigh* I feel like a zombie as I type this.  Quite a week for the kid and I have so much more to do. One love to the Soul Controllers for having me and Lil’ Dave at their 18th Anniversary Party at Tabaq on Tuesday night in DC. So great to see my friends I haven’t seen in a minute. My cousin Debbie who I hadn’t seen in nearly 20 years even came out.  Crazy! Shout out to everyone who came out to APT on Wednesday as well.  Philly was up in there that night.  Other than that, it was a strange night.  I think some of the fashion week crowd stunk up the place during the earlier portion of the party.  Big up to Grand Puba, John Forte, Phillee Blunt, Mr. Len and others who were hanging while me & Akalepse got it together.

Tonight, I return to Z-Bar.  I spin house, broken, b-more, and some hip-hop too.  Always a good time when I rock there.  Come through if you’re in Philly. And of course tomorrow, it’s back to the Walnut Room.  Last week Lady Alma and company kilt it. Tomorrow, business as usual.

And off topic, I had to share this site.  It has some hilarious takes on Kanye’s VMA stunt the other night. I thought his interruption lacked taste and all but I don’t believe it was inexcusable so please stop it with the Kanye attacks.  He made a big mistake and apologized for it.  It’s a pain to go on Twitter and see people re-posting comments from idiots calling him racial slurs and saying he needs to be lynched with the other monkeys that don’t stay in line, etc.  How sadly typical that a black celebrity could be appreciated by such a wide audience but then persecuted and called a “coon” among other hideous and offensive names as soon as he does something folks disagree with.  No need to burn celebrities at the stake for not living up to our standards.  All of us are capable of making moves that others would disagree with. The only difference is, most of us “couch critics” will never do it in front of more than 100 people at any point in life. Now with that said, I gotta get up, get to the gym and get myself back in shape.  Afterall, critics are watching…

Sup folks, tonight. I return to Z Bar.  The rest of my crew will be at The BODYROCK at The Arts Garage. Tomorrow we back in effect at The Walnut Room.

All of the important details for my gigs, as always, can be found on my schedule page. So check it out.

Just getting over this nasty cold/flu/throat infection that I’ve been fighting all week. To all the other folks trying to beat this late summer sickness, Get well soon! Here are a couple flicks from the Spoonfed showcase last week, courtesy of the homie, Mikey McFly.
See y’all out this weekend. And Happy B-Day MJ.

Big up to my man Lil’ Dave for releasing his first 45 earlier this week on the Record Breakin label.  My man has tons of fire and some of it will be featured on the illvibe LP coming early next year.  For a taste, visit this link.

And last but not least, check out this new video from a long time friend of mine from Atlanta.  The homie Senor Kaos.  This joint bangs. Automatic Classic.
