London Day 3 - London Graf Tour

One thing that amazes me about London is how American this place actually is. Its even more evident since I’ve lived here. They have Wal-Mart people. That’s bad.
But there are still areas of the LDN that haven’t been taken over by Starbucks. The Brick Lane area of the city, a former Jewish hood is becoming [...]

London Day 2 - 4 Hero Album Release @ The Big Chill House

First off, much thanks to my new friend and frequent podcast listener Niamh for hooking me up with this party. It was off the chain.
And what party was this? It was the album release party for London drum and bass/broken beat collective 4 Hero. The group recently released their new album Play With the Changes [...]

Rock N Roll dude!!

Win-Stone you weren’t in London when this jumped off:

London Meetup = Still On

My Bad for keepin’ y’all in the dark about this whole meetup thing. Like I’ve said before, I’ve been busy as hell and I didn’t have time to plan an event in DC, so trying to plan something 3000 miles away wasn’t gonna be any easier. But nevertheless, even though I didn’t promote the hell [...]

A UK State of Mind Part 1

One of the things that I really wanted to do on my trip to the UK is to start researching and possibly filming a documentary about the Black experience in other Western countries. See, most people in America think that Black people in the UK or Canada have it better than we do. Unfortunately, that’s [...]

Killer Mike/Grind Time - Skulls and Roses Mixtape

New Killer Mike/Gind Time Mixtape available here. The mixtape is fire–more for the classic soul samples than Mike’s weed carriers on the mic. But I can’t front. It’s free, and the artwork is sick.
Gotty of The Smoking Session asks– are free mixtapes the new thing after [DJ]Dramagate? [...]
