My good homeys from Stockholm the SNS sneaker pimps, were celebrating 10 years of business, and being leaders of the sneaker craze - so they had a huge blowout featuring all the dopest Swedish Mcs, Biz Markie, Aaron LaCrate + Debonair Samir. Was a super fun weekend as the pics show they had a champagne open bar all night Cristal ! Biz is another secret Baltimore record shopper who bought loads of Music Liberated stuff. Biz ended up jacking my entire club set - ! check the live footage here!

The godfather of hip hop, Bambaattaa who has been playing every genre of music since the 70s, is the creator of the Zulu Nation and hip hop culture. A global icon - so it was great to finally meet up him in LA and rock a party together. We both killed it, and there were thousands in there rocking out.
The best of best. People dont know that Baambaataa has been record shopping in B-more for many years and was a usual at Music Liberated (RIP) where he would buy stacks of B-more Club records, that he has been playing world wide for years..

I held down East Village Radio last Friday for Mark - which is always a blast, however this Friday we had some special guests in the studio, EVR is NYC;s closest thing to pirate radio. We had Oscar 1992, MALUCA, Swizz Beatz, and Alex Dexter Jones special guest DJ set, such a funky bunch of NYC people. Check the link here - classic NYC summer stylee..

When I first started Milkcrate back in the day Eminem and the Shady crew were some of the first to take notice. It was so exciting to have a new brand and have Eminem wearing Milkcrate, during his rise to fame. 10 years later ! WOW.

Keeping with the theme of famous Milkcrate Athletics collaboration t-shirts - this one is so funny. So we booked Cool Kids for YOYO NYC ages before they blew up and they asked me to make them a collabo t-shirt before the CD dropped, which of course I did, and now they are super COOL, the power of a t-shirt, I tell you its amazing.

NME is one of my favorite magazine for new music, so when they asked me to actually write for them, i had to step back and say this is official. So i wrote about all my favorite things past and present of Baltimore music, needless to say the Milkcrate Records crew came to mind first - but I spread the love round, to say the least. Anyhow now I am available as a journalist as well - so any cool mags hit me up.
