CMJ 2011: RUN CMJ


Ugh, this is some crappy weather, but today’s showcase with Rocksmith is sure to break more than a couple of necks. STS, King Fantastic, and Dom Kennedy?? Don’t mind if I do attend this appropriately named event.

A little birdie told me a well respected OG from Queensbridge might be rollin through too so um yea…RSVP and I’ll see you there.

CMJ 2011: We Got The Jazz





I'ma be out and about doing what I need to do for this year's CMJ. Last Night I was over at Drom with Brooklyn Bodega for We Got The Jazz where all of the artists showed their asses off.

Below's a pic of the headliner, Kansas City's own, Miles Bonny. Dude is the real deal. Forreal forreal, you should check out his project Lumber Jack Soul. This is also probably one of the dopest titles in a long time.

The second is to do something about it.
