It's the Rub

Not sure what to do on Saturday while you're in NYC? That's a shame because you should already know about this monthly party held by one of NYC's premier DJ crews "The Rub".

Consisting of DJ Ayres, Eleven, and Cosmo Baker, this innovative trio never hesitates to get the party crackin' no matter the hour. When they throw a party, EVERYONE comes through. This is why you should clearly not dissrespect yourself by not attending. Their monthly event is every first Saturday of the month at Southpaw located at 125 5th Ave., Brooklyn, NY. Take any train that gets to Atlantic Ave. in BK and you will be within walking distance. See ya'll there!

Ma Ma Se, Ma Ma Sa, Ma Ma Coo Sa

So check it out, it's going to be packed.

Pool Party Concert Series! (Free Of Course)

I'm late as crap with this one, but there's still plenty of fun to be had. Above are the dates for the concert series being held at the McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg, BK. Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Prince Paul, and Girl Talk are the only names that I recognized on the list, but I'm pretty sure there are many more talented artists in store for the people. If you hit it up, let us know how it went!
