YES SIR!

Urb Magazine x Diplo = The Death of Cool

Real Mango Juice x A Motherf*ckin P. Dude has some solid spit, is his production by those same kids who worked with Wale?

I like 10 Deep, I just don’t always like their t shirts. If they stick to quality button ups and flannels I think they’ll be ahead of the game. Oh and they need to book me for their holiday party.

Shawne Merriman is an idiot. That is all.

My brother is KILLNG it…if y’all only knew the power involved in that picture.

Can I DJ a Crooks N Castles x MAGIC party? Granted I’m sure the birds are a dime a dozen, but the soundtrack Ray said he heard is golden!

live at home pt. 12 xxxchange….fully fitted dudes holler @ me…i got free time and vinyl.

Pase Rock Live @ The Do Over…I’ve got to play this party before this year is over. Everyone raves about it, and now that I have extra free time, I need to get here…by the way Pases mix is dope.

The Block DC…big things coming on that site. I’m writing for it so bookmark it and get ready.

As I commented on Herons blog, Nike did an ill job of promoting their sportswear block party this past weekend(?) by…not really doing shit. They invited your favorite blogger, and that bloggers favorite blogger, let me post pics, and it has spread to every city not in NY as the “party you weren’t at, but the cool guys were”. EXCELLENT job Nike.

You already know that A Trak gets it in…tour after tour after tour…you have to admire his love and desire for music and DJing. Dudes grind is almost unmatched.

…and speaking of A-Trak here he is getting busy in LA @ the famed Dance Right party.

The re-designed Colette store looks ill….but almost like a Bape store. Granted this is a view I have only seen from pictures, but the shiny metal and what not is to Bape-esque for me. I’m sure their sales will grow so their not trippin off my opinion.

3 Things.

1. People M.I.A.s “Paper Planes” is old. Hella old. Please stop fronting like its some new shit because Pineapple Express put you on.
2. Be kind enough to answer/reply to emails. I’m a good DJ. Becoming great. If I email you mr/mrs promoter/bar owner/club person its because I can make your party dope.
3. I’m not @ Magic and it kind of sucks cuz I really wanted to DJ it this summer.

Today is a new day. The first of the unemployed variety. Motivation, Inspiration and all that is gathered from the clips below. Lets go!

Word to The God MC.

Today is my 28th birthday.

I can’t even express how grateful I am to have made it this far. For real people, its a blessing to be able to make it this far and be healthy, and still pushing. I know alot of people who take what they have for granted, but not the kid. No sir.

This past year has honestly been full of amazing highs and sincerely terrible lows. I’ve loved and lost people whom I NEVER thought wouldn’t be by my side. I’ve been held to standards that I couldn’t meet and had to suffer because of that. At the same time I’ve been under appreciated, undervalued, and underpaid.

At the same time though, FUCK that. The grind is a continuous thing. My peers right now are the movers and shakers of your world. Dudes such as catchdubs, Mr. Kim, Heron and countless others are shaping how u dress, what you listen to, and how you view your own culture.

Things HAVE been good over here though. I’m DJing and getting better consistently (look out for the Bottle Service Please before the end of August), working out 4-6 days a week, and have tunnel vision in terms of getting this better than yours/B.O.W.D. thing where it needs to be, after 5 years might I add. GOTTA reconnect with Vad and get y’all some new music. Thats priority #1. Keep losing weight, because presentation is everything.

And on some real shit - just do the damn thang. Less talk more action, emails, trips to NY.

Get my black ass to LA. Miami for WMC. A passport for Spain - and master the spanish language before I go there. U know? Live life with these quality and consistent improvements that will have me and my peoples where we need to be.

I always told myself that 28-32 is the PRIME of my life. You’ll never look better, be worth more, or be have the NEED to be focused like you will at this time. This is OUR time.

Happy Birthday.

Lets Get It.

Daz Dilinger - Only On The Left Side

The 888: PB Wolf vs. LA tour just wrapped and from the photos it seems as if PB Wolf and Stones Throw have really hit the jackpot with this series. I think this is second year it has happened, and makes me wish someone in D.C. was as revered and respected to make something like this happen.

Soulwax & Pase Rock in LA….i gotta get out there before Halloween.

Estelle Live @ The Fader 55 Party

Jeff Staple x Rock The Bells NYC…

Blog The Bells…Glenjamns AWESOME recap of the Rock The Bells Festival this past weekend in LA. Someone needs to pay Glen quickly for all his hard work.
