Ride Tonight.

New track from K.O Kid. Footage from the (sold out) show at Cat's Cradle o where he opened for Chiddy Bang.




On a personal note, it was wonderful to see him FINALLY perform live.... Super dope concert.
He works with Paul (Ladro) and Taylor, as well as his DJ, Simms and a drummer, Reed Benjamin who all vibed so well together. Anyways.... check out the kid on twitter and facebook and all the other social media.... just google that KOKidNC.


I literally can't stop listening to this song... and I swear, it's not because I'm biased! hahaha

E's birthday and the pictures to prove it.

My sister, E turned 27 on Tuesday. She's also in the SSW, and so we're both super busy. I decided to throw E a surprise birthday party last Saturday. What I decided to do was enlist my friend Morg, and E's friend Bekah to help me pull it off. Morgan helped me plan and came early to help me set up, and Bekah occupied E long enough to surprise her. Here are some pictures.

Here is the kitchen counter as I was setting up. A little bit of food, and the blender is pulled out because I decided to blend up some dank margies.
The amazing flowers my family sent E. I helped my Mom pick them out and the Florist, located in Harlem, hooked it up.
E came back from dinner in Little Italy around 11:0pm. This is when she first turned the lights on.
And Here is the Birthday girl when everyone jumped up and surprised her!

We had an amazing night, 12 or so girls came over, we hung out (until my crazy effing neighbor came up here, tryin to buck.... she was out of line) Then we went to this local spot called Moca Lounge. We got in there, promptly got a booth and some guy pourin up mad shots. The DJ must have known we were coming because he played club banger after club banger, like all the best of the southern rap. At one point they were playin Damn! by young bloodz.

Imagine this scene: 12 girls wildin out at this like sit down sort of lounge.... The song breaks and there is a part where the lyrics go "Don't start no Shit, won't be no Shit!!" and that repeats for a bunch of counts. So we're there, getting redic. and next thing you know, it's Knuck time. Like, somehow these female bouncers tried to flex on us, told us to stop missbehaving... next thing... we're in the street. And here is a tiny bit of the evidence, post removal. They don't even tell the full story, but all I can say is the next morning we were all sorry for partying, E had an amazing birthday, and we probably can't show our faces at the neighborhood spot for a little while....

It's 3am. Yup. I have a beer in the street. Nope, it's not legal here.

Newest Five-Star Status song.

This song has quickly become a favorite. I know it's not new, but it gets a lot of play up here in New York. The lyrics are surprisingly very sweet, and you know The Dream makes bangers, so the beat is on point.

The Dream-- Walkin' on the Moon
The magic of the moment snuck up on me
And caught me by surprise Roaming and I'm lonely man I'm longing
For that somethin in your eyes And I know it's not just the song
(And I know it's not just the song)
And I know it's not just the drink
(And I know it's not the drink)But whatever it might be (Whatever it might be)
Just keep holding on to me
Cause I'll pull down a cloud for you
I'll circle the stars and bring you one back
I'll walk through the sun for you
Cause there's somethin you do
That got me walking on the moon

I can't stop listening to it!

Five Star Status Contender of the Moment.

I am a big fan of music. I listen to most anything, my itunes can shuffle in anything from Weezy to Nine Inch Nails and I'll be alright with it. That being said, I do not run from Local 506 to Cats Cradle with a copy of that weeks Independent in my hand trying to catch all the underground stuff or the Next Best Thing local act. From time to time a song will stick, sometimes I'll get over it, other times not. The ones I don't get over make there way onto a select group (the 5 star holders in my itunes library). The five star group will eventually round out to be my all time top songs. I imagine one day I'll have several, and then it would be like a boxed set, like album one: Party Poppin club shit. Album two: that mellow thoughtful heavy stuff... but I digress.

A song that is inching towards five star status is Kings of Leon's Use Somebody. It is probably the most thoughtful, romantic, sweet, this-is-how-i-hope-my-future-boy-feels song. And that means a lot coming from a girl like me who gags at people who hold hands and spoon. So, Kings of Leon, this Buds for you!

Lyrics Below. Look how sweet this is.

I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
(Go and let it out)
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see
