It took a few months of coin pinching and a dam lot of keyboard hustling to get myself a plane ticket to visit California again but I’m finally on my way. I’m excited to be able to visit again, though this trip won’t just be all BBQ’s and conversation over bottles of wine. I’m planning on meeting with several fabulous

See how great the internet is…? I press a button and suddenly I’m engulfed in an amazingly good electro-pulse mash-up from an artist by the name of Neus. From what I can decipher via my very limited grasp of French, NEUS, short for “New Experimental for Universal Sound” is a 21 year old artist whose making waves with his signature hybrid production style.

There are those that sit as bystanders and curiously watch the world from the outside in, never realizing all the while as slight occurrences happen, that things are changing. They are ignorant of the impact that these small anomalies will have on the cultural movement as it shifts before them. They accept things for what they are, they are merely voyeurs who

I ain’t got time for much these days, I’m busy as hell trying to square away 2011 like everyone else. And when I mean I’m busy I am mean I AM BUSY!! But I’m never too busy to check out my people’s when they’re doing something awesome and there was no way in Hell I would have missed Max’s pop-up

The phone has been ringing all week and although I promised to be out and about it hasn’t worked out like I thought it would. I’ve been working, collecting new clients, meeting with my colleagues and writing on the blogs that I contribute to. I went MIA for about two weeks and the reason was so that I could once and for

It takes nothing to do a Google search and there it is. Another pioneer rap legend, another young black man, another death. It’s crazy when anyone passes on but it’s worse

This Saturday, October 29th, I’ll be in Union NJ at the Barrister Smoke shop hosting @Steelsouls event. At our last event, I was whisked into the center of the floor before I could even get my coat off.

  It’s been awhile since I’ve run around lost in the City, and so tomorrow I plan on making a journey just for the simple pleasure of catching up with some friends and enemies at Dominion NYC. Maybe I’ll see you there. Maybe I’ll hide from you. Look for the girl with the hair….I’ll take a picture with you. I

Young women need to know that they are not alone along this journey and Christelyn Karazin is stepping forward in the spirit of “Reach back, Pull forward”. With the creation of this new initiative the great people

I’m almost hesitant about putting you down on this dude.  For so many reasons, I’ve just straight turned into his number one fan club member, and not simply because I’m a shallow bitch and he’s a fine ass native american-black man.
