Back in the lab!

I've finally pulled myself off the couch and have had a slight break in my schedule to get back in the lab to start working on the new project, 2010 is gonna be a great year so be on the lookout!

The $2 Soul Show relaunch!!

Alot of people have been asking me for months now when I'll be doing a new episode of the $2 Soul Show, well wait no more!! The $2 Soul Show relaunch's in January, I haven't really had time to keep up doing the monthly podcast but Im going to make it a priority to keep blessing your ears with that good ol' funk, soul, breaks, jazz and more every month. The previous shows are still available for stream or download but be sure to check back as January is quickly approaching.

A weekend of relaxtion!

Finally had a nice 4 day weekend of relaxation to sit around the crib and do nada this past weekend. Minus the entertaining of family for dinner on Friday then heading to the Walnut Room to spin Friday night I hadn't stepped outside since Wednesday which is just what the doctor ordered. I've been so wrapped up with business and getting Hot Peas and Butta up and running I haven't had time to just relax, catch up on some flix and lounge on the couch.

Watched alot of kung fu flix, Blaxploitation and even some classic Anime all of which got my creativity flowing to get back into the lab and work on some music.

In addtion to some quality viewing I got alot of gaming in on my arcade machine, strictly classics like 1942, Commando, Ghosts and Goblins, Elevator Action and Street Fight. A little R&R does a supa genius right!

Legendary Status

Here is a piece done by legendary old school New York graff artist Iz The Wiz that was given to me about 2 years ago by someone close to him that used to come to my parties in New York. Iz The Wiz past away earlier this year but Im glad that I have some of his work.

Rockin them dubplates!

Very interesting new documentary on cutting dubplates which is definitely a lost art especially around these parts. I remember back in the 80's there was a guy who had a record store a few blocks up from me that used to cut dub plates in the basement. Damn what I wouldn't do to have that guy still around here.

Hot Peas Tee's!

To kick off the launch of the Hot Peas and Butta website we're doing a nice run of Hot Peas T's!! Amir and myself were the only ones rocking these at our parties so we're now making them available to others as well. Alot of people asked if they could buy them while they were at the party so he it is! The shirt features Amir, myself and fellow record king DJ Supreme aka Supreme La Rock. We're going to be releasing alot of things in the very near future exclusive to the site so be on the lookout of some really cool limited edition things.

The art of it all.

Think of the connection between Kaws and Pharrell Williams and that's the feeling I get when it comes to me and one of the freshest dudes out there, Ewok 5MH. I've been really lovin Ewok's work for a while now and he's really become that guy who people want works of his hanging up in the homes. Not only has he Bombed the city of New York hard, he paints with some of the best dudes like Cope2 KD, has also been featured in various books and magazines plus has a sought after vinyl figure known as the Horselington (which goes for big bucks, especially the even rarer version)and is talked about about on mad blogs. Fat Cap recently caught up with him to discuss alot of different things. If your a person who is into art or looking for something to invest in then you need to cop something of his now, your walls will be very happy and your pockets will be fat when you try to sell it! Trust me.
