Thursday, 12/13 -> In case you haven’t heard, The Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme at Funky Buddha (776 Lincoln) is moving to Thursdays and we’re setting it off with Chicken & Waffles 2 (aka Mo’ Chicken, Mo’ Waffles), the sequel to our cough*legendary*cough west coast themed part from earlier this year. Same deal, free chicken & waffles (while supplies last, so come out early because it’s gonna be packed), gin & juice specials (plus 1/2 price well drinks & heinekens until 11) and the best in west coast hip hop. Same dope vibe, new night and of course, never a cover.

Rocky Mountain News & DJ Low Key…

The Rocky Mountain News, one of Denver’s two main newspapers, hit me up a few weeks back for a feature. Here’s the short article about me and what I’m playin…

VH1’s Sew Good, my records and Kelis…

A few weeks back I posted up a picture of some record covers that I sent out to NYC to be used for the set of an upcoming VH1 show and didn’t have much more info to give. Well now I’m back with the info, the show is called Sew Good, Kelis is hosting and to quote some publicist, “From the executive producers of Egotrip’s White Rapper show and in association with Automatic Films comes a crazy phat urban fashion design show for the VH1 network.” CRAZY PHAT YO!!! But really though, the show looks super interesting, I’ve know I’ve always wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes before I buy some dope gear. I don’t know when it airs, but it should be soon, so keep an eye out.
My record covers look great like this. Maybe I’ll have to do something like that at home.
The rest of the set looks good too, big up to my fellow Colorado homies Akomplice (that’s their black tee on the left) . Big ups to my good friend Eric Maitrepierre on the pics & set design.
