Goodbye Yesterday, Hello Tomorrow

Its definitely a new day. The Hello Tomorrow Show was a phenomenal event. The energy in the building was magical. I think we exceeded in raising the bar of the showcases in St. Louis. Not just rap, not just hip-hop, not just R&B, but all the components made this and undeniably magnificent show. From Rome kicking things off, Wildmann bringing his bag of funky soul, Brother Thunder r-r-r-rockin' the crowd,to M.C doin' his thing, Family Affair swingin' for the love, andTydis serenading the ladies. Black Spade belting out Nigga Ray Leonard, Tef Poe stealing the show with "Show Stealers", TeresaJenee making sure we didn't break her heart(ooooohhh), and Rockwell Knuckles, Gena, and Joka killing the stage for the shows finale. Absolute mayheim took place At atomic cowboy Saturday July 11th.

So Official!!

Yo, Monday just became the new Friday. The BSS(Basement Sound System) is taking over the St. Louis night life. The Mighty DJ Uptown is holding DOWN Delmar Lounge on Sunday on Monday night. DJ Spec is the resident DJ at The Attic@Cusumano's. DJ Who and DJ Sir Cuz are dominating the scene doing gigs all over the place, while Ben Bounce is spinning and tackling beat meets all at the same time. If you not used to it, then get familiar.

4th of July Weekend Jumpoff

So, The Delux Magazine Launch Party at The Sugar Lounge was everything I thought it would be. The who's who of St. Louis came out and celebrated together, but somehow, things always seem to go wrong when I am around.

First off, this was the first time in a long time that I went to a party and showed up on time, just to hear the door guy tell me "we aren't open yet". So to kill time we had to go get a drink at The Sidebar, which by the way, the band that was playing there was killing it. I didn't get their name cause they usually don't play together. So we walk back to Sugar and the two skip-skaps working the door needed a crash course in hospitality! They asked me for my name, gave me a wristband, then realized I wasn't on the list? Lucky for them, I don;t need to be on a fucking list to be VIP, I just am! On top of that, if you are working the door at a club, you shouldn't even have a list, when its a FREE PARTY!!! EVERYBODY IS VIP!

Moving on, THE VIP SECTION WAS LAME as well as the club side of the lounge!! The people there were okay, but it wasn't anything goin on spectacular all thanx to DJ placement!

Reese is cool, and I know the vidjaying is the new thing, but how you gonna throw a party with all the Nappy Kids in the building and stick Needles in the corner? Needles tore the place down. One of the best mixes I have heard all summer!! Barnone.

Just when I think things can't get any more janky, the place hit capacity, meanwhile my boys are standing outside. I had to send in reinforcements, a.k.a. Ms Facebook, to pull out her L.A. Diva Card to get 'em in. The door guy must've been new, he had no clue what to do in a crisis situation.

Besides those few minor setbacks, the party was official. Live art, great music, cheap drinks, free admission, and some of the best people in the city. This 4th of July weekend started off grand. Shouts to Delux Mag, mademonarchs.com, I AM...SNKY, The Nappy Kids, Rich City, and everybody else that was in the building. The Summer is ours... Black...out...

Hello Tomorrow!

July just kicked off and already a lot of things are underway for me. Last year this time, I wasn't even on the radar as an artist, now my buzz is growing more and more everyday. I am getting new fans from all over the world that appreciate my art and showing me a lot of love. The free downloads of the EP are doing great and I ain't hearing nothing but good feedback.

The Hello Tomorrow Show is 9 days away and I am too excited about that. The Loop Committee is about to show St. Louis a whole new look at our music scene. This city is host to some of the best talent this country has to offer. I'm so proud to be a part of these elite artist.

I don't write too long, cause I got a short attention span myself, so till the next time you log in, stay on ya grind, cause anything is possible if you work for it. Black...out...

Remember September 11th...2009!!!

Yep, hopefully we can expect The Blueprint 3 to drop on September 11, 2009. D.O.A(Death of Autotune) might just be my new favorite song, and with most of the album produces by Ye, I get the feeling its gonna feel like 9-11-01 and 9-10-07. Virgos get the best release dates(hahaha)!! This fall is gonna be monkey bait...Black...out...

Rest In Peace King Michael!!

The whole world knows what happened on June 25, 2009. Michael Joseph Jackson died at the age of 50. Sounds like a myth or legend of some sort. Michael Jackson was an icon to me. I know I'm not supposed to worship idols or false gods, but this man, this BLACK MAN, made me feel like everything was possible. I used to study him like one would study for a exam. My dream in life was that Michael would see me perform one day and tell me that I did a good job. I can't begin to explain how much I am effected by this lost, but I do know that with death comes new life. The king's throne is empty now. Our Caesar is dead. God bless his soul, children, and family. I will remember him. Will you? The first time you saw "Black and White" on Fox right after that "Simpsons" that Sunday night... The LIVE from Bucharest on MTV(the Brace Yourself montage)... Watching the Wiz with my brother and sister... My fifth grade talent show... So many memories I will cherish forever. I am so glad to have live in the time of "The Gloved One". His legend is timeless. Black...out...
