No Rest for the Weary

Friday, May 15: GAMMAPALOOZA w/ 88 KEYS, IZZA KIZZA, DJ BENZI, EMYND & BO BLIZ

Saturday, May 16: REVOLVER w/ EMYND & BO BLIZ

Damn… it’s another busy weekend for your boys! No rest for the weary, right? I’ve been in France the past two weeks and will be getting back to beautiful Philadelphia tomorrow from my French excursion only to hop right into a Honda Civic and speed up 95 on a bit of a roadtrip up through the northeast. Hitting up Dartmouth on Friday for a crazy gig at a frathouse (WTF?!) and then down to Boston to wile out with our favorite Red Sox fans Ghostdad and BrekOne. Should be a hell of a weekend, but I’m not sure it can be much better than last week’s weekend in Montpellier with Raziek and the Die After Disco crew. Did a small but buckwild party with the folks out there (not to mention a whole SHITLOAD of drinking) and have since acquired like 50 Montpellier Facebook friends. If you ever find yourself in the south of France, you could do a hell of lot worse then spending some time in beautiful Montpellier. Those kids know how to party. I’m still recovering! I should be back there again very soon and big shouts to all my Montpellier folks!

First Friday MARCH 6th
9-2 @ the Barbary

Ahhh yes, another banging edition of THE BOUNCE. This party has been coming on so strong in 2009, and this will be the most epic one yet. We’ve got our boy Blu Jemz coming down from NY to rock with us and he’s been on the circuit for a while, killing LA, NY, and all spots in between for the better part of a decade. Additionally, dude is a CANON and so we’ll be getting it the eff in. Peep him @ www.myspace.com/blujemz

As if that wasn’t enough, this is Exit Skateshop’s Grand Re-Opening Party! The whole squad is going to be in the house extra thick to celebrate Exit Skateshop’s move to 2nd Street in the No Libs (right next to the Foodery and the Standard Tap). So official.

And as always, Emynd & Bo Bliz will be holding it down.

We got that 9-11 OPEN BAR and Skate Videos and only $5 all night (after 10). And yes, it’s free before 10. So THERE’S NO COVER AND FREE DRINKS BEFORE 10. You’re stupid to not come early. And then, in a couple weeks we’re off to lovely Austin Texas for SXSW!

Jay-Z “Go Hard” Remix & next level parties

OK. This is not new, but I thought I would link it, just because Jay kills it, and otherwise this song annoys the hell out of me. I don’t sweat Jay verses on down south shit just cause he’s Jay or something like that (most of the time them down south boys handle their own biz), but this one is exceptional. Also, DAMN! Khaled needs a new song formula. You know how all that reggaeton shit got ridiculously epic with 60 second un-mixable intros, I feel like Khaled is getting equally as over-indulgent. I’m not hating, but it’s time for the bol to switch the style up.

Jay-Z “Go Hard” Remix

Now then… Last saturday, the same night Emil and I threw our 1998 party (which was off the fucking hook), some brothers from Philly threw a party down in AC that people was truly epic. Now, our party was hot, but their party had its own website with a 10 minute long movie preview style film clip about them planning the party. Some of the scenes included them chilling on the couch with house arrest anklets, answering phones while swimming in pools with their shirts on, driving maybachs to AC, and ends with them PERSONALLY inviting YOU to come to their party. Watching this was an inspiration to throw and promote parties.

I should also note that people I know that went to the party said it was off the hook and I saw pictures of it that corroborated that.

So hot. Oh yeah, them dudes can dress too, pause.

Siddiq and Bigg Zahh’s 2009 B-Day Celebration.

Bunch O’ Stuff for Jan/Feb

First things first, my man Wayne has been killing it lately over on his always wonderful blog Wayne And Wax with several really well-written and thoughtful posts about Post-“A Milli” Beats and Stevie Wonder’s CHOICE to use autotune. If you’re not checking his blog on a daily basis, you’re doing your daily routine a severe disservice. And he shouts us out, which is always nice and appreciated.

Second things second, we’re not DJing this weekend which is extremely WTF because we’ve been so damn busy lately, so I’m taking this opportunity to go see one of my favorite artists Romanthony up in NY with Pink Skull and Hug Mode. Stop by Love and say hi. I will be the best dressed bearded man in the building.

Third things third, I’m doing a solo gig in Cleveland next Friday, January 23rd. If you’re in Ohio, I strongly suggest you come through and rock with your boy. I’m finna kill it something surrious.

This is how we do. It was a ridiculous night and we’ll be back in January with 1998.

PEOPLES GETTING LOOSE!!!

Thanks to 215HipHop and eybody that came out.

London and some Changes ‘Round Here

Man, London this past weekend was crazy. Massive shout outs to the Count and Sinden for putting me on, to the dude Skream for killing it, the boy Sam from Dollop, Roxy Cottontail for stopping by, and the Smalltown DJs as well for taking some shots with me. Seriously such a good weekend full of great music, a ton of drinking, and not enough sleeping… but hey, it’s Monday and I’m back on the day-to-day grind. Didn’t have the traditional American Thanksgiving that we all look forward to, but drinking and partying in a strange rainy land is a nice substitute to the ol’ Turkey and Mash potatoes thing. The best news is that I ate enough kebabs and Haribo to hold me over until my next trip to Europe (frankly, I’m sick of both at this point) and got a really dope Merc jacket so I look like the Lebanese Paddington bear.

If you’re in London before Christmas, please promise me you’ll got to the Mutate London Art exhibit. We spent a day at the Tate, then stumbled into the Mutate London exhibit on Curtain Road in Shoreditch and there was no comparison between the two. The Mutate London show alone made my trip to Engerland completely worthwhile. I will be doing a proper blog post on it later this week.

By the way, I’ve recruited a couple new blog posters for this here jam just to keep this ish fresh and interesting. My man Phil Money is my dude from Philly who’s schooled in the arts and got good taste in music… and he’s quite a funny dude. I fully expect him to contribute some completely random stuff that Bo Bliz and I wouldn’t ourselves post. Same goes for SdotMilla who is the owner and operator of the finest skateshop in all of Philly, Exit Skateshop in Fishtown. He reluctantly comes to every party Bo Bliz and I do even though he hates the music and would much rather listen to Johnny Cash or Neil Young (which I’m not mad at), so I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of music posting from him. He’ll probably just post a bunch of youtubes since all he does when he’s working at his shop all day is give people free product and watch horrible youtube videos.

Over the next couple days, I need to find a way to make it clear who is posting what because right now, the little tag at the bottom of each post that says “Posted by ______” just isn’t cutting it for me. But for right now, please just bare with us and enjoy the new content from the new ‘bols.

CROSSFADED BACON IS A MOVEMENT.

That being said, got another edition of THE BOUNCE this Friday at the Barbary, and I fully expect to be just as wild as the last one. This party continues to get better and better and better and I really can’t wait until Friday. If you’re in Philly and you’re not at this party, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself for doing something lame. As always, FREE PBR AND VODKA FROM 9-11 along with skate video screenings. Cover starts at 10 PM (only $5 all night) and music starts 11ish… then we go in HARD. Expect all the hits, a bunch of our own stuff, and whatever debaucherous music is gonna make all the wifies in the audience forget who their hubbies are.

Let’s go.

Thanksgiving Eve & Emynd in London

Man, we just got back from Stockholm and Helsinki this weekend and we officiall CRUSHED that sh*t. Such a fun weekend. Big ups to Stefski, Agge, and the Top Billin’ boys for putting us on and allowing us to destroy their clientele with a whole crapload of Bmore, hip-hop, and house. Truly a fantastic weekend.

The madness continues as we’re back stateside this Wednesday in Philly where we are doing our next installment of “It’s The Year…” at Johnny Brenda’s with “IT’S THE YEAR 1993“! Should be an absolute rager. Click the flyer for more info:

And on Thursday, Emynd is heading back to Europe to rock out with The Count & Sinden in London town at On The Rocks. It’s going to be an officially WILD affair. Click the flyer for more details.

See y’all there!

Lastly, if you haven’t seen or heard it yet, here’s Emynd’s new track with Young Chris from Rocafella and Def Jam that can be downloaded HERE.

It’s The Year… 1996! Saturday at JB’s!

This Saturday, Emynd and Bo Bliz are back with their “IT’S THE YEAR…” party in conjunction with 215HIPHOP.COM for IT’S THE YEAR 1996! Obviously, we’ll be playing a ton of jams from 1996 and it’s going to be a hella fun trip through memory-lane. If you were at the 2000 jawn, you know how awesome this is going to be. All the big club joints from the year and some lesser known classics.

10PM to 2AM and only $5. Upstairs at Johnny Brenda’s which is a great venue with incredible sound and a really good selection of beer—from cheap PBR cans, to a wide selection of drafts.

Also, first 50 people through the door will get a free 1996 inspired T-Shirt we made specially for this occasion!

Feel free to dress the part as well and rock some gear you were rocking in High School! I’m rocking Hilfiger, some timbs, and fatigues…

Let’s goooooo!!!
