Regardless, come check me out this Saturday, October 27th at Theorie downtown (1920 Market Street). It’s got a similar upscale, elegant vibe to what Bar Luxe had, but on a bigger & better scale plus with me spinning a diverse mix of soul, R&B, hip hop & more, things are gonna be dope.

Also, from 9-10 we’ve got 1/2 price stoli drinks & $2 coors light at the bar, so come check us early. Lastly, big up all the people who’ve been coming through the spot every Friday since we moved to Buddha, the party has been packed since day one and we appreciate the support. 776 Lincoln on the Funky Buddha’s (heated/all seasons) Rooftop.

Common calls the Solution “real hip hop in Denver”…

First off, I gotta shout out everybody who hit me up from the Common show all geeked last night. I was busy spinning at Shag (gotta pay those bills, speaking of which, come check out the spot sometime) when all of the sudden I get a whole bunch of text messages asking if I was at the show and saying that Common just announced that “the Solution is real hip hop in Denver”. Wow, just wow….my jaw dropped and I didn’t believe it until more people hit me up. One of my all-time favorite MCs, shouting out the hip hop night me & Sounds Supreme built from the ground up, fresh off a #1 debut, I still can’t believe it. Anyways, the point here is that if Com knows that the Solution is the real hip hop ish in Denver, then hopefully you guys reading this know what’s up too. And since most of you already know what’s up, do me a favor and tell a friend or two, thanks.

With that said, things are just getting going for the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme at our new home, the Funky Buddha rooftop (partially enclosed and heated for all seasons, gotta love that). The crowd is amazing, the vibe is different than anywhere else in Denver and you know me & Sounds Supreme stay playin the best in classic hip hop & more every Friday night. Plus, there’s no cover, the drinks flow cheap, the girls who come out like Camp Lo and we’re about to turn it up (c) Dilla with some crazy events (you know how we do) and more. Come check us out every Friday night, you won’t be sorry. 21+/music at 9/776 Lincoln.

We love you Denver aka The Solution Returns Recap…

Well it’s done….The Solution is back and Denver, we love you…We don’t kinda love you, we don’t sorta love you…me & Sounds Supreme fuckin LOVE you….the way you guys PACKED the Funky Buddha’s Roof from 9 on (y’all are some early motherfuckers, also you gotta let me know how you guys like the Median tape), the way girls came up to the DJ booth all excited when we played “Mona Lisa”, Foreign Exchange, the “Gone Til November” remix and other GREAT hip hop shit, all the beautiful women (we’re so spoiled) and cool ass homies that came through, all that ish was dope and don’t even me started about how people went NUTS for Camp Lo “Luchini” late night (who’d have thought Camp Lo would have the hottest club joint in 2007?)…Any spot where Camp Lo gets as much love as B.I.G., Kanye and Mary J is cool in my book…

Anyways, the Solution is just gettin started at the Funky Buddha and Fridays are only gonna get better so keep checkin us out Denver…We’ve got some CRAZY ish planned from here on out, so stay tuned…Anyways, time for to get ready to spin, I have three spots to spin at back to back to back (did someone say triple header?) starting in less than 7 hours, some drinks to recover from & anything less than 4 hours of sleep is rough…IN YA FACE !!! (c) Sounds Supreme….Welcome back to the Solution….

P.S. this Kanye album is AMAZING, too bad more artists don’t have his ambition and passion. Dude sets out to make some monumental ish and more often than not does it, hopefully other artists are out there taking notes.

P.P.S. Man, couldn’t dude from Coldplay come up with something better than “Oweee oweee oh oweee oweeee oh, oweee oweee oh oweee oweeee oh” for the end of the “Homecoming” hook, he already had John Legend’s big boots to fill, the least he could do is finish writing the damn hook…Anyways…

“Once again, back it’s the incredible…” (c) Chuck D…The Solution returns on 8/31…

Friday, 8/31-> We’ve all been missing the Solution since the Shelter closed, things just haven’t been the same on Fridays…With that said, me and Sounds Supreme are fuckin ecstatic to bring everybody’s favorite hip hop night in Denver back at the Funky Buddha’s sick rooftop deck, do away with the cover (yep, I said it, NO COVER) and take things to the next level. No more texts to avoid/reduce cover, no more techno DJs or washed up rock stars in the room below us causing trouble at the door, no more need for passes to get into special events, just quality music and unique events every Friday, so stay tuned for updates and tell your friends…The Solution is back! IN YA FACE!!!
P.S. Stay tuned for info on the afterhours afterparty to the Solution’s return featuring Sake One, Zeph & Azeem (OM Records), plus an encore set from me & Sounds Supreme.
