Yo Lofa, you better be working on getting Jesse Hernandez and Marka27 to Hawaii. Anyway, as i was tweaking out on the cracknet ran across Jesse Hernandez’s new show called “Vinyl Addiction” – all about vinyl toys, the artists, the galleries, and the inter-workings. Really diggin’  it cuz its not on some geeked out steez, its charismatic and fun.  This segment of the new episode interviews the homie, AWB.  Check the past shows for interviews with Marka27, Joe Hahn, Gallery1988, and a host of others.  Spock’em

Brother Ali.

Anybody got an extra 10 grand lying around maybe if we all shake our couches we can hui up?  Brother Ali came in to town and did it up nice.  I honestly thought the crowd wasn’t going to be that big? But there were a few hundo’s there and there is hope in good hip-hop!

DSCN1688

Moxxx opened up with a tight set, good to see the homie rocking songs.  He is one mc that can rock a stage solo.

DSCN1683

J. Blaze and The Bone!  The Blaze had some sniper set up camera and a press pass so he was instantly cooler than us all. haha.  Respect to Bone for putting on good Hip-hop events, the trops is a must for anybody that wants to get on.

DSCN1703

The Hammer brothers, very intriguing group.  A pimp, A freak, an a thug.  On the real, very entertaining.  They won me over and the combo of the straight hair homie and Joe Kerr was ebony and ivory – McCartney and Jackson – Phil Collins and the Easy Lover guy – Mr. Drummond & Wills?  They got something with that group. Respect the Hammers.

DSCN1685

CJ the Yoga na maste.  The Fresh was in the Building looking all fit.

DSCN1708

Creed had a set with the Spacifics.  I got love for that band!  Creed is on FTB and releasing his new joint soon.

DSCN1684

The sir and The Lo.  Sir always supports and i always feel that when i see him at a event we all good.  You know Lofa, he is omnipresent.

DSCN1728

The sho, jumped on right before Ali and did his thang.  FTB in the building. Respect to Keli’i on the drums!

DSCN1743

Dj BKone, i heard he is a digger, i wonder if he got his fingers dusty in Hawaii?  Brother Ali about to rock.

DSCN1736

Brother Ali is a MC, its something about them from Minne”snow”da that rock.  Slug, Idea, and Brother Ali all murder.  He rocked over an hour and his breath control and the ability to spit was flawless. I wish he did his verse from Jake Ones’ – White Van Music.  That would of made my night.  Overall, great show, cool crowd, and good vibes.  See you at the Bodega & BR Grands.
