Fams

How y'all been? Been off line for a couple of weeks hanging out with my son, and getting myself ready for a long and full summer roster. Here's to another summer of great parties, love, and musical breakthroughs for us all.

I'd like to send a special thank you to Mike Nyce and DJ Statik for holding me down at APT last week. I was in Philly at The Red Bull Big Tune event with Jake One, Vitamin D, Freeway, and Bahamadia. Special thanks to Jonathan Moore and Tayyib for the work! Shouts also go out to Malene Younglao for a dope show at Knitting Factory last week.

Candyland at Walnut Room this past Thursday was mad fun! Thanks Stacey! Looking forward to the June 19th date!

Afro Disco in Philly this past Friday was out of control! Doc and Carlos, y'all smashed it down with the Yoruba percussion once again. Check out our special installment coming in July at The Seaport Soul Series in NYC on Thursday June 19th! More info TBA and on myspace.com/seaportsoulseries.

Happy 10 Year Anniversary to Turntables On The Hudson, and special thanks to Nickodemus and Mariano for the invite to participate in it, at Water Taxi Beach in Queens this past Sunday afternoon. Beautiful day, and a beautiful celebration party for some beautiful dudes (pause... no homo).

And last but definitely not least on the recap, Happy Feet with myself and Bobbito at Element in NYC was bananas this past Sunday night! Whoa. Here's to our next installment in LA at Echoplex on Friday June 6th, San Fran at Mighty on Saturday June 7th, and then back in NYC at Element on July 6th!!!
