IMAN OMARI’s ‘Viberations’ Album Release Party (06/15)!

In less than two weeks, the folks at ILLSOCIETY Magazine will be hosting Iman Omari‘s (Vibe)rations album release party. The crazy part about it? It’s going to be over in WeHo at The Troubadour, where its legendary status is known for hosting rock concerts! Check the lineup, and make sure you get there. Tickets are still available for purchase.

Yes, as you can see… I’m supporting this event. I’ll be taking pictures there, so if you see me around, don’t be afraid to say hello. It’s been a long time since I’ve sponsored an event; the last time I’ve done that was when I helped put a Haiti fundraiser together.

Planet Asia’s ‘Black Belt Theatre’: In-Store Performance in Long Beach [02/28]!

On the day of his album release of Black Belt Theatre, the Gold Chain General will be doing an in-store signing as well as performing some tracks from his tenth release. Instead of just showing up, you have to call to RSVP for entry. Make sure you purchase the album ahead of time if you cant wait. Otherwise, you can do what I’ll do and just purchase it at the event and ask the brother to sign it! In the meantime, go grab the promo mixtape by him and New York’s own DJ Doo Wop called The Arrival.

Whats up, sir! I’ll be seeing you..

Nas/Damian Marley ‘Distant Relatives’ “Pre-Release?” Party @ Kress [Hollywood]!

If you have taken notice, you’d see I put a “?” next to ‘Pre-Release’ in the headline. There’s absolutely no need to think hard on that one.

Okay, so I was kinda worried about not being able to bring my camera in since I didnt buy a media pass. Damn, it was a good thing that I didnt, which I’ll explain a lil later. Kress  is known for their ‘celebrity-pull’; they got celebrities going in and out of that place all the time during the weekends. They even have someone at the door determining your fate upon entering the venue based on what you wear [that's pretty typical of Hollywood].

Anyhow enough about that. Upon entering the establishment, in all honesty I found myself pretty much judging alot of the heads that made it out [and obviously that was wrong of me] because I was wondering who was actually there to see Nas & Damian Marley versus being there just to party. I have to admit, there were a lot of hot females that were there, which always makes for great eye candy!
