Im The Biggest Boss That You've Seen Thus Far.

 

On Friday night Me, E, KBeau and LA saw Rick Ross in concert. Holy Shit. Dopest concert I've seen in a minute. Not only did he literally play EVERY. FREAKIN. BANGER. HE'S. EVER. MADE. But he also had SO many effin guests show up on stage.

Literally.... Wale and Ace Hood came out and did that "No Hands" song (which, hello... I could work a pole to.) And then a few minutes later, BAM: John Legend for "Magnificent". The BAM: Busta Rhymes, then Akon.... like. it was bananas. 

Rick Ross from my Blackberry.... yessir.

I am getting so excited for the summer concerts because last summer def. delivered. I'll keep posting as concert tickets are bought.

Also, I miss you, blog world. true life.... so I'm gonna do better because I should be posting. I mean.... I really should...

K.O Kid: Video From the Road.

Amazing. He has a show TONIGHT in BROOKLYN at JELANI in Clinton Hill.... so.... if you're in the NYC area, get there. It's going to be a sick show.

Tickets!

Wiz tickets are here! I cannot wait, you guys I'm so close to being Mrs. Wiz Khalifa... Gang Gang Gang.

Webster Hall.

One of my new favorite venues for a show is Webster Hall.
This past weekend we went to the Vampire Weekend after party/Chromeo DJ set at Webster Hall. It was like the most incredible thing I've ever been to, surreal in a way because Webster Hall is this giant sprawling old building with different rooms and bars tucked away in corners. Never mind the 19 year old little bitches tryin to buck like it was an episode of the Bad Girls Club... We drank $3 PBR and danced on stage to wonderful House, Reggae, Mash-ups, and top 40 music until 3am. I finally figured out my third professional calling... Go-Go dancing.
This is a picture K.beau took of the awesome wall paper in the ladies bathroom. Cute.
I'll post the others as soon as I upload.

New Music. KO Kid: The Plan.

New Video up from KO Kid.... Love this track.... footage from a show he shut down in Boone, NC.







Any of y'all readers listen to the Kid?? I would love to hear some thoughts! 

Concerts: fall/winter 2010

The concert-going bug of the summer has not died with the school year starting. I swear, hands down one of the best things about New York are the shows, and the events.... Just another tally mark in the "yes-I'm-absolutely-staying-here-after-I-graduate" column.

So far on the calender:

He's taping for his upcoming HBO special, and the Apollo which is like.... right in my neighborhood. Treat!

I fell in LOVE with Lissie when i heard her covers of "pursuit of Happiness" and "Bad Romance" so I was so so excited to see that she was coming to New York!

YUP. Ya DAMN right. I got these tickets the minute the went on sale.

Super excited about La Roux.... their mix tape with Major Lazer has been on constant repeat.

I'm also trying to see Wicked, Rent, and possibly Dave Matthews (again)..... we'll see.

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

Dave Matthews Band at Citi Field.

K.beau and I made a last minute decision (after a particularly epic sing along on the way back from the Chiddy Band Show in Brooklyn) that we had to go to Dave Matthews this year. Then, after an interesting exchange at work, it pretty much sealed it, we had to go. After major Craigslist stalking and a few pep talks about money, haha we got the tickets, general admission at Citi Field, where the Mets play.

The show was Saturday night, and absolutely amazing, being that close to the stage and I seriously forgot how much I like big concerts. It made me miss the whole Walnut Creek scene, and I kept having that out of body experience of doing something in NYC that was very NC.

The whole story of the show, I can't exactly tell...haha but it was memorable, and work should be real interesting today...

7/14/2010: Chiddy Bang Concert.

Tonight I'm going to Brooklyn for a Chiddy Bang Concert. K. Beau has quickly established herself as my concert-mate of the summer, we've been to Alice Smith, Kooley High, Curren$y (twice) and now Chiddy Bang. There are some other dope shows coming up that I can't wait for.

Oh, and.... KO Kid is opening for Chiddy Bang in NC in August, so you know, I can't help myself. haha. Hopefully more pictures from the show!

Artist of the Moment: K.O Kid.

Duh. I'm biased.


Y'all. I am the proudest sister ever. My brother Kenneth has had two shows and has excellent turn out. Now, he already told me that he was working on his first mix tape (Don't we *love* the title?)  But,  Yesterday he called to tell me so freakin awesome news:

But It wasn't real til I saw it here

That's Right. K.O Kid is the 2nd act! (Randomly I also know the other two performers very well--- townies).

Unfortunately, I can't go to this show... It's a Thursday night and I can't swing it. But... if you haven't yet go check out this lil talent!



Album Art: Taylor Kinahan

Wiz Khalifa Concert, 3/26/10.

I love Wiz Khalifa. He's a rapper in the same category as Kid Cudi, Wale, Curren$y, and some other hot, more under ground wonders.
The concert was amazing, and the Venue (Fillmore--17 Irving Plaza) was like a mix 'between Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill and an opera house.
If you don't know Wiz Kalifa, check him out, this is one of my favorite songs. 




Some other shows coming up there that I'm ticket shopping for:

Wale-- 3/31
Bone Thugs-- 4/6
Lupe Fiasco-- 4/10 & 4/11
Snoop-- 4/20
N.E.R.D-- 4/28
