July 3, 2008 / / No comments
Yep…That’s me (shaved head on the right looking all good, girls the girls they love me on some Heavy D iddish) building at lunch with the Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah aka the RZA, his DJ Kevvy Kev, Mike from Akomplice and some of Denver’s finest DJs (Sounds Supreme, Psycho, Zin, Tanastadi & Squirt) a couple of weeks back…Dude is easily one of the coolest, most genuine cats I’ve met of that stature and his appreciation for DJs is great to see in this day & age…Make sure you cop his new album, Digi Snacks, and don’t miss him on tour with a ten piece band (!!!)…He puts on a dope show, rocking everything from Gravediggaz “1-800-Suicide” to a Wu classics megamix to his new single “You Can’t Stop Me Now”, check it out…Anyways, lunch with RZA, just another reason why 2008 is a MONSTER…

We got our swagger back…Last Friday at the Solution was INSANE…Word to the Kidz In The Hall, Akomplice, Speakeasy & everyone who came out…

June 19, 2008 / / No comments

Thank you Denver. No really, THANK YOU DENVER. Last Friday night was INSANE as me & Sounds Supreme brought the Solution back to Fridays on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop for a triumphant return. The spot was packed, the vibe was perfect (Kidz in the Hall had us throw a Paid Dues afterparty for them and weren’t even planning on performing, but they loved the spot so much they rocked 5 songs plus Double-O hopped on the tables for a 30 minute set) and of course, the music, heads and lovely ladies that make the Solution the best hip hop night in Denver were all in full effect for a CLASSIC night. Thanks again CO, we love you.

Special shouts to our boys at Akomplice for helping make the party happen, as well our fellow Akomplice team members Naledge & Double-O for rocking a free show for the heads, our boys over at Speakeasy (congrats on becoming a father Beans), Frank151, Strictly Fitteds, Rachel Crick on the awesome pics, Ant from Family Affair and everyone who made it out.

Yep, we’re moving the BEST HIP HOP NIGHT IN DENVER (c) Westword back to Fridays and getting back into go mode (c) Jigga after spending the last 6 months months rockin the spot at Refresh. We had a great time and played alongside some of hip hop’s finest at Vinyl from December up until last week, but now that it’s summertime there’s no place we’d rather be than on the Funky Buddha’s beautiful rooftop deck (the vibe we had last fall on Friday at the Solution was FLAWLESS and we gotta get back to that). Plus, there’s never a cover, we’re kicking things off with $3 Premium Drafts (Sapporo, Guinness, Stella, Hoegaarden & more) all night and we’re gonna have some giveaways from our weekly sponsors Frank151, Speakeasy, mine & Sounds’ sponsor Akomplice, free mixtapes & more, you gotta love it. Not to mention, the pic above is only the bottom half of our flyer, we’ve got a special bonus to kick off the night that I’ll be revealing in the next day or two. Then on 6/20, don’t miss the 2nd Annual DJ Low Key B Day Jam (w/fellow June birthdays, Charley, Becca, Donald & more) at the Solution. 2008 is a MONSTER. NO COVER / Music at 9 / 776 Lincoln.

Camp Lo & Big Wheel “B-Side To Hollywood (Live at Vinyl, Denver, CO)”

May 7, 2008 / / No comments
On February 8th, history was made when Camp Lo not only played with a live band for the first time, but took it a step further & performed every track from their classic debut, Uptown Saturday Night, for the first time. Dameion Hines aka DJ Check One aka Dwele’s drummer aka the mastermind behind the award winning band Future Jazz Project brought out his new band Big Wheel (complete with trumpet & sax) to play every track from Uptown Saturday Night, plus a couple of gems from their other albums & their ridiculous new single “Lumdi” at Vinyl’s Refresh Fridays w/me & Sounds Supreme for a packed house, it was a night to remember.  Anyways, I already posted pics & talked about the show a few months back, but I finally got some audio from the show that I had to post.  I can’t put it all up, but here’s a little sample ->
Camp Lo/Sounds Supreme/Dameion Hines/me
(big up Vell on the pic)
* Sorry about the annoying drops but after all the work that I put in organizing the show, I’m not about to get jacked for the audio.  And by the way, make sure to cop the new Camp Lo aka the Lo album later this year, you know it’s gonna be dope.

Big up everyone who came out to the Q-Bert show last week…Vinyl was packed with heads, the energy was dope and the b-boys were gettin down like crazy…

Me & the LEGEND himself…You couldn’t find a more down to earth legend in hip hop…
