A.L.I.E.N & Audio Aesthetics and The Galaxy Riders present NIKKI NTU's exclusive listening party of her debut "The History of Dreams"//// King Mega of ALIEN and Audio Aesthetics had asked me to bring some of my work to Nikki Ntu's listening party at YUME...was definitely honored...I love what they do and I was blown away by Nikki's album, produced by other heavy-hitter Melo X...It is one of freshest sounds I've heard in a while..beautifully soothing and gently stimulating with the truth. Make sure to keep your eye for her album dropping at the end of the year. Thanks Mega!!

My peeps, Amir, Dhundee and Tshidi at Brooklyn Bounce, Deity
MOBIUS COLLECTIVE at Rose Lounge (Williamsburg, BROOKLYN)
If you're into real good music, Mobius Collective's nights are where you find true diamonds. My friends, Sarah White and Don Cuco had a mesmerizing performance there last month. One of the resident acts, Noble Society's true-to-the-core roots/reggae performance that made me want to keep coming back for more.
VIRGO B-DAY BASH at Tamboril (Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn)
My good friend, the wonderful Alonzo of Minority Report is part of the tribe of superdopeVirgos. It was my honor to have my work shown at his birthday party...Check the event photos on Al's site.

the world would be a different place without these two. My wonderful friends, Yah (check her on Wronglips) is a true Renaissance woman...her creative talent is intimidating.. and George, who is a secret agent from the Guyanian tribe of universe healers. If you want to get blessed by one of his magic belts, check out Yah's new site COCOLAH.COM. Look for G4

THE GYPSY LIFE
So I am building my third nest this year. I moved twice this year and I finally tried to consolidate all my scattered possessions...lesson learned...if you can avoid it, do not move on Memorial Day weekend. I had the classic nightmare type move...we all laughed it off at the end tho...big shout out to my beloved homies, Vanessa & Bradford James who, as always, gave me the royal treatment at 10pm before setting out on the road. Thank you & Ivan for making it possible!!
The attempt to bring my old mattress to the new home...after a number of warnings from the protectors (rain, mattress sliding off of the top on the highway...potential catastrophy hazard), I had to let the baby go...it's all good, we all need to let go!! It's a new beginning.
and last but not least....don't forget to VOTE!!!
