Boombox: 4th Annual Celebration of J Dilla
[ 5 February, 2011 9:30 pm to 6 February, 2011 2:00 am. ] I really don’t say much about going to this event except…GO!!! If you listen to music in general, you should be there.

I’ll Take You to the Donut Shop…
When I used to live in Long Beach, Krispy Kreme had the ingenious idea of opening a location adjacent to the East Division station of the LBPD. It’s been a minute since I’ve called Long Beach home, but I’ll bet good money that this Donut Shop has weathered the recent economic storm.
The most visible Donut [...]

14KT’s Nowalataz is one of the reasons I don’t sleep. Dope stuff comes out any time of the day. I got an email from the fam at A-Side Worldwide about 9pm, but I went jogging…and didn’t read it until 11pm. If I slept on this a little longer I would have missed the boat.
I read the [...]
Amede & The Soundsmith
These 2 cats outta east London tackled a big task of remixing an already bangin album and as they say “Re-Fixed” it. Common teamed up with Kanye (and a few other producers including J Dilla) to bring you Be. So you ask yourself, “what’s there to fix?! That album’s hot.” My thoughts exactly, until I [...]
