This is the first time I’ve blogged anything in a long ass time. The 9-to-5 life had me all but discard of this domain name, but alas, we’re still alive! I came back here to announce that we’re proud to present our next show, featuring DC’s own Fat Trel. Check the flyer out above! Crazy, [...]
Well actually, that’s just one flyer. 3,000 looks like this: Shout out to all of the people who have shown love as far as spreading the good word. From the blogs to the tumblrs, from the publications to the tweets, from traditional (and frankly the most powerful communication method) word of mouth, we see it [...]
You’ve probably seen all the $#!t I’ve been talking online about how vicious this concert will be. Frankly, if you break it all down, August 12, 2011 can be seen as a historic day in DC as far as hip-hop is concerned. Before we booked this concert, the 9:30 Club (voted one of the top [...]
We were fortunate enough to recruit Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist Kendrick Lamar for a much anticipated performance at the 9:30 Club, making it his first-ever public show in the nation’s capital. The Compton standout is expected to sell out the 1200 capacity venue thanks to his loyal following in the DC metropolitan area. Kendrick [...]
Dilla fans, rejoice! DC to BC is a proud media sponsor for the 6th Annual J. Dilla Tribute and Fundraiser, featuring some of DC’s most prominent hip-hop acts and headlined this year by Pharcyde. I honestly thought I’d never get to see these left coast legends rock a show, but this was a pleasant surprise. [...]
I hit NY every once in a while to check in with my folks out there. Since graduation, probably 75% of my really good childhood friends have relocated there. I also gotta dap up those who held me down when I was a newbie to NY, living in Aris’ cozy apartment in the back room [...]
I hope so. I’ve kept the DC to BC name alive through my prolific tweeting, but now that we’ve started throwing legitimate events that people really appreciate, I think it’s time to get back to the blog world. I know what you’re thinking. I say that like every four or five months. But this time [...]
I know. I haven’t blogged in a bit. And I’m completely fine with it. Just gearing up for the summer, man. That’s a whole ‘nother blog post, though. My man Ken Consor over at Syracuse University and the kind folks over at ‘Cuse’s University Union are throwing the Block Party 2011, featuring KiD CuDi, Nas [...]
Major, major shout out to Howard University’s Zon D’Amour as well as all of Endustry Power Players for inviting me to kick it with them and chop it up with whoever shows up to this event, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, about whatever’s on their minds. I invite and encourage anybody who rocks with me to [...]
Thank you, WKYS! I appreciate it. Check the article here, and browse the site out too; they just started going IN on their content. Hopefully, it’ll be a whole new market for them since terrestrial radio is evolving. Thanks again guys!!!
That’s right! Tomorrow Night at 201 Lounge in NE DC! Music By DJ Spicoli and the Section 8 Band! Happy Hour from 9-11pm! Semi-Formal attire required, like back in the days when people wore 3-piece suits to the club. Click the flyer for tickets.
Chip covers my favorite Bone Thugs song, “Days Of Our Livez”, and sounds just like his Ohio forefathers, almost to a T (Editor’s Note: NO idea what “to a T” means, but felt like I should throw it in here!). This is a smooth way to round out Friday. His harmony game is kinda tight; [...]
Welcome to the third edition of Singles Awareness Day. This year’s S.A.D. will be celebrated a couple days early, allowing you to ride into the weekend with 31 songs that say all the things that you’ve been thinking about love, lust, or anything in between. Most of these tracks you’ve never heard, and if you [...]
I’m one of the guys on the east coast who stayed up and watched Tyler tweet the countdown until the debut of his new video for his track “Yonkers” dropped. Odd Future. These guys are like…well, they’re like nothing else, really. My man Thiz wrote about Tyler and his cohorts for Madbury a while back, [...]
Yep. The sketch of the artwork that will be Singles Awareness Day #3. It drops tomorrow. Final artwork drops soon. You may have seen me drop a color version on Twitter, but there’s a little bit more to come…Oh boy. #singlesawarenessday. Start that hashtag now.
I tweeted the other day that Ab-Soul was my favorite right now of the TDE. He reminds me of an early Eminem; it’s rare that rappers can convey humor in their bars, and Ab does it so easily. He’s super crafty with it! ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick, and Ab are the guys guys I jam; Jay [...]
Okay, I’m talking like we’ve had previous surveys; we haven’t. But alas, 2011 is a new year, and I’m trying to go HAM. I’m trying to take the brand to another level, and this 15 minute survey will help with that. I know, I know…you hate surveys. So do I. But Survey Samuel, the lovely [...]
Former Boston College student athetes BJ Raji and Robert Francois, along with the rest of the Green Bay Packers, just finished smacking Wiz Khalifa’s Steelers around, securing a rack of glistening Super Bowl rings in the process. BJ was a friend from college, and was good friends with my roommate, Marcel. I don’t know Robert, [...]
