Catch me in the 3rd Annual Jenesis Magazine DJ Issue…Shouts to J.J. Parker…
I’ve been a fan of Pittsburgh-based Jenesis Magazine for a while now, so it was extra dope when they hit me up to be in their 3rd annual DJ issue a few months ago. I’m in good company too, with Jasmine Solano on the cover piece and being mentioned between Terry Urban and Kevin Nottingham on the cover, plus there’s a great story on Kendrick Lamar and more goodness. Anyways, take a look at the article on me by J.J. Parker when you get a chance and read about my worst DJ gig ever, how I linked up with Tanya Morgan & more.
Thanks again to Jenesis Magazine, Thomas Agnew and J.J. Parker for hitting me up for the feature.

I Remember: The top 3 Solution moments from writer Ru Johnson, Ill Seven of Isolated Generation, DJ Big Styles fka Styles N’ Fashion & Dunn the Signtogolist…
To get ready for the 4th Anniversary of the Solution on Friday, Feb. 4th, we’re checking in with some of our favorite regulars and people around Denver to hear what their favorite moments from the party have been. Here’s favorites from writer Ru Johnson, Ill Seven of Isolated Generation, Denver hip hop legend Big Styles fka Styles N’ Fashion and nationally renowned artist Dunn the Signtologist; stay tuned for more classic memories leading up to the party on 2/4.
Ru Johnson’s top 3 Solution moments:
1. One of my first times at The Solution (at the Buddha) one of the deejays played “Cher Chez La Ghost†and there were literally 20 of us singing and rapping at the top of our lungs. And, I’m pretty sure was a dance-off between Little Wing and some random guy in a vest. We banged on walls and the stage and danced like there was no tomorrow.
2. Pretty recently at the 3014 location, Low Key effectively slayed our hip-hop souls with the addition of some Jay Electronica “Exhibit C†into the playlist. Looking over at several cats from the scene completely jammin out, I realized The Solution is the ONLY Friday night party that speaks to the hip-hop purist in me.
3. It was a freezing Friday eve when the guys were still rocking at Funky Buddha. I was rolling deep with the homegirls and we decided to “last call†it at The Solution. Sounds Supreme dropped “Soldier of Love†(this was right when the song came out) and the vibe was so perfect, I could have been at a basement party in Brooklyn.
