MUSIC: Common (feat. Ladybug Mecca & Brian Jackson) – The People (remix)

Here’s a rare gem that features the former Digable Planets queen & legend Gil Scott-Heron‘s former musical collaborator. I received this joint back in 2008, and the crazy part about that is… is that I never saw this on any popular music blog sites. I was kind of in shock that it wasnt. But anyways, three years later, I still havent seen it anywhere online, except for when WEFUNK radio played it on their station! Anyways, here’s the stream! Let me know what you guys think!

Goodfoot Tonight!

(counting down backwards…. TWOOOOO)!

Stones Throw Records x MIGHTY Presents: 45 LIVE [05/20]!

Friday, May 20th, MIGHTY is proud to present 45 LIVE w/ Peanut Butter Wolf, J Rocc, Mayer Hawthorne & Baron Zen.  Local support comes from none other than DJ Shortkut (Beat Junkies | Triple Threat) & DJ Platurn (45 Sessions | Oakland Faders).  Advance tickets are available through Eventbrite.com.  Doors at 9PM, 21 and up.

In the age of digital DJing it is seldom that you get to hear an all vinyl set an entire night, let alone 45’s.  Vinyl will supply us with a warmer, richer sound, while MIGHTY’s Richard Long and Associates analog system will set the organic feel for a classic night of music.

$10 Entry; Address is 119 Utah St (San Francisco).

Nu-Thursdays Presents: The LYNK w/sg Open Mike Eagle [tonight]!

Features will include Sunny Jackson, Choize, and Redd Foxx. Opening up the night will be DJs Destroyer, Mona Lisa, and Sean O. Check them out tonight, especially if youre just trying to chill.

KissNGrind: 4th Annual Grammy Edition (w/sg DJ Jazzy Jeff) [02/11]!

Last year’s Grammy Party that the KissNGrind crew threw was off the hook! It was a special event to definitely be a part of. I remember near the end of last year I was looking all over for the review that I thought I made about the party, but come to find out that I never made one at all (smacks forehead). Although I forgot to make a post about it, I definitely got the pictures (& the press pass) to prove it! After the night was over, I couldnt get past the fact that I was definitely a part of something amazing (that’s definitely NOT Hollywood-ish)! I especially thank those that were involved to make it happen. I appreciate it a hell of a lot.

This time around Vikter Duplaix brought DJ Jazzy Jeff on board to help rock the house at Vanguard next friday. The tickets are currently $20, and there are a limited amount, so please be sure to purchase them asap! Seriously, who ISNT trying to see DJ Jazzy Jeff tear the roof off Vanguard? Full flyer down below.

Purchase your $20 presale tickets [here]. They’ll be available til February 9th.
