They both fucking rule.
This is more about North Jerz than South Jerz but I’ll be damned if I haven’t hung with some people like this and didn’t have a GREAT FUCKING TIME. Seriously. Here is to trance, 2 1/2 hour drives that should take an hour, jaeger(of course), having sex in crowded shore houses in front of other people, and otherwise normal people that commit themselves to this lifestyle until their mid 30’s. MAN LOVE.
That’s right folks me, emil, and dan are heading off to canada for the weekend. We will be in Ottawa on Friday, and Montreal on Saturday. Big thanks go to The Jokers of the Scene(Ottawa) and Dj Huggs(Montreal). This is the first time we have taken the whole party on the road since NYC in the spring so this is sure to be some ol’ crazy shit.
Philly: we will be back on Sunday rocking with Strawberry Mansion Dj’s at Silk City. Besides that we got some other big things lined up before the end of the month so we can all still get down family style in familiar surroundings. CHECK THE BLOG HOMIES!!!

I thought I would post this youtube of philly rapper and Crossfaded Bacon fam Reef the Lost Cauze. Reef is a fucking really dope rapper who has been grinding at this rap shit way before people even rocked guess jeans. He gets insane amounts of underground love, but deserves respect across the entire rap spectrum. Life has a way of pulling people in different directions, and I don’t see Reef as much as I used to, but I just know the bol will continue to stay thorough and keep making real music people in Philly can feel and can be proud of.
Peep the V-Twinz produced, “The Sound Of Philadelphia”. Reef borrows the song title from the famous Philly record label that Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff spawned(you should know that), and reflects on some of the realities we deal with living in Philadelphia- drugs, violence, poverty, corruption, frustration, and unhealthy food(which is actually a good thing).
The joint is a little old, but now is always a good time to think about the shit going on around us.
Peace y’all.

I was playing around with some old records after making some party beats last night. Some snares sound especially crisp when you are cutting them, and fortunately this one has about four bars of some rugged ass bassline after it. I hooked this beat up real quick and decided to keep some cutting in the loop to be extra gully. I threw Big L on there and called it a wrizzap(turkey and cheese bitch).
Enjoy the rest of y’all summer, see everybody next First Friday in September. Until then imma enjoy a couple weeks off dj’in, watch the phils’ playoffs hope crumble(DAMN COLE!!!!), and get ready for football. Be safe folks.
Oh yeah, I finally listened to this Turf Talk album that everyone has been hyping so hard and I thought it was mediocre as fuck. The throwaway beats, the constant throwback interpolation hooks, the weak guests, and the whatever rapping didn’t do shit for me. Please feel free to explain to me why this album does not suck balls.
Emil and I will be in Brooklyn tonight at The Royale in Park Slope. We are djing and celebrating Jess'(Jubilee) birthday. It’s free and you can find that bitch if you have half a clue and the internet, so come(10-???).
I made a mix of Biggie’s “Big Poppa” acapella over the “Buy U A Drank” beat w/ the hook. “Buy U a Drank” is old as shit but I went ahead and hooked this up for a few reasons.
1. Jess is from Florida(so is T-Pain).
2. Jess lives in Brooklyn(obvious).
3. This summer has been dry as shit for hip-hop bangers so I don’t feel bad playing this through September.
4. It sounds hot as shit and you know damn well I’m playing a Biggie set tomorrow.
Who rock grooves and make moves with all the mamis?

Yooooooooo!!!! Thanks to everyone who came out to White T’s(on what’s supposed to be the deadest month of the year) and made it live as shit. Fuck the shore, and fuck going home for the summer(if you are of the college persuasion that is). Extra special shout outs go to DIPLO for coming through and rocking with us late night on the surprise set tip.
Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the night, and a link to some others I was fortunate enough to receive a link to.
Nothing sweet but some sparks in here. Mean mugs 4 eva.
Real guls get down on the flo, on the flo
When I said fuck the shore, I definitely wasn’t talking about Avalon, NJ. Once a year my man Bobbles throws an event called “Bobblepalooza”. It’s a fund raiser for Multiple Sclerosis, which earned upwards of 10 stacks for the cause this year. Emil and I dj’ed it(killed shit son) for seven hours and only played 2 songs twice. We also drank for seven hours, and helped the party kill 40 FUCKING KEGS. Hate it or love it, this event brings out some colorful characters. One of them is showcased in this YouTube of an afterparty. Homes wore cowboy boots and tighty-whiteys(the yellow version) all day at the party while writhing around like a snake on a dance floor covered in beer, sweat, and spit.
Yes, he is bench pressing kegs.
I finally found someone that has more fun than me. Amazing.
Peace.
This is some heat to spice up your “playable soul” set. It’s good to have some banging old shit that isn’t disco- so here it is. Very mixable for you chocha type dj’s.
The Jackson Sisters “I Believe In Miracles”
Shout out to my english dj friends that put me on this. Apparently its like a staple over there cause they all play it. holler.
This one is for the zebras y’all.
This might be a week or two old, but I wanted to share some local philly press about the apparent madman that has taken a couple years off David Stern’s life this summer. His behavior seems to be pretty typical of psycho trash from DelCo(lighting neighbor’s property on fire, driving golf carts into ravines) but not behavior we would expect from an NBA ref.
here is a youtube link my man brains sent me that showcases some suspiciously horrible calls from the crucial game 3 of this years Suns/Spurs bullshit ass series. I still don’t like how that shit went down, but to be fair, it was probably more Stern’s fault than Donaghy’s. Regardless- this is interesting.
