Ideall Clothing Now Open For Business Online!

My man Be from TheLegendsLeague is a not only a friend, but is also a business partner, a daily dose of motivation, an inspiration, and on top of all that, he just happens to be one of the illest designers on the planet. Yeah.. I said it.

His clothing line IDEALL CLOTHING is an extension of TheLegendsLeague movement, and has been steady snapping necks and attracting quite a lot of attention over the last little while..  Although still in it’s infancy, the line has already dropped some very heavy pieces, selling out at the few spots it is available at.

Fret no more, you can now purchase the goods online! We’re open for business! Don’t sleep!

Little Brother Show Went Well! Back From Vacation..!

Ahh… That was much needed! Beautiful girl, beautiful island, beautiful weather… Shoulda stayed there lol. I’ve been grinding on a lot of things for you.. Don’t worry I didn’t forget about the mixtape drop.  We released 500 copies at the Little Brother Show at MOD Club last Sunday, and Tae & Pooh killed it!!

Here’s an article reviewing the night:

You may have noticed I went MIA over the last week.. It was great & thorughly needed. Blackberry off, no computer, no technology, nothing..! I’m not used to separating myself from any of the latter since I rely on them so heavily each day, and although it was a little weird at first, having no one able to reach me turned into the best thing ever haha.. I flew from Toronto to NYC to Jamaica, stopped in Barbados, and finally made it to Grenada, which is one of the most beautiful places in the world.  On the way back to Toronto, I stopped in Trinidad and caught up with a good friend and heavy DJ ‘Xixgon Sound’.  Thanks for the hospitality homeboy, we will link up again soon..!

I’m back to doing what I do in Toronto right now.. October’s a wrap. Halloween is around the corner and and as soon as the madness is over I promise to upload that Bridging The Gap Mixtape for you all to download.. Here are some pics from Little Brother, Vacay, etc.

Peace!


Lancelot would bring Burger King to the club… @ Little Brother show. Backstage killing Whoppers. Ew.

Taking a break from life.


Toronto sucks.


No wonder people are so much happier there even with 1/4 of the money.


Chillin in the Carribbean Ocean.


Damn, I’m gonna miss you beautiful.. Six Weeks!


Cue up Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day”


Too many Caribs for this guy!


A true fat man’s picnic by the water! Shouts to Jalapeno flavored Pringles!

On The Grind Like Clockwork…!

Since having returned from Montreal on Sunday night, I’ve been locked up in the studio working around the clock on this Bridging The Gap Mixtape – Toronto to North Carolina. It’s shaping up to be nice, but I still have a lot more work to put in, and haven’t even begun the recording process as yet! That needs to be wrapped up by Tuesday at the latest, which is going to be difficult considering this week’s event line up.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I teach at Scratchlab and have to head straight to Waterloo (1.5 hours away) for my man JD Era’s CD Release party out there

Thursday, I am in Guelph again at Van Gogh’s 2nd Floor (residency) alongside JD Era once again

Friday, I’ll be at Empyre Lounge w/ P-Plus for a party called Love & Lust

Saturday, back at D’Luxe VIP Lounge inside The Guvernment

&

Finally Sunday, Body English All Ages..

sooo basically.. I have one day to record this entire mixtape. If I don’t answer your calls or return your emails this week, you now know why. Wish me luck.

Back from another successful Montreal mission

Whatup everyone!

Another Montreal mission successfully completed.. Had to spin a party in Waterloo Friday night, finished that at 4am, drove back to Toronto, and left for Montreal at 6am. Lack of sleep is probably why I get sick.. Either way, made it to Montreal by noon on Saturday afternoon, checked into the Hyatt, let my boy persuade me into eating Baton Rouge (that’s two shitty meals there in a row.. if I wasn’t so sleep deprived I would NOT have eaten there). Finally caught up on some sleep and then hit Jano’s..! Now.. if you do not know about Jano’s and a) claim to be from Montreal or b) claim to be a connoisseur of fine foods, you my friend, are a liar! Let me school you real quick.. Jano’s is the most scrumptious, delicious, delectable Portugese food ever.. I have not yet been to Portugal (promoters, get at me) but for some reason, I feel like it is even better than the food over there.

Chicken and lamb combo with the hot sauce is what’s up. It is located right beside the world famous Schwartz’ on St-Laurent street. We went out to eat with the Promotions Manager of the Club I was DJ’ing Saturday Night (Orchid Nightclub), and neither him or his girl had ever been there..!! Needless to say, they are now fans for life, and have agreed to buy me Jano’s chicken each time I am in the city.

Enough about food. I was suffering from a bad flu and cold all weekend and tried to catch some sleep after dinner before leaving for the club and DJing. Didn’t work out.. Ended up taking a bottle of COLD FX & a box of kleenex with me to the club.. Sucks, but it was still a good night.

My partner in crime, Sir Lancelot & I did our thing alongside my homeboy Payce & Chops and Mahesh. As usual, we repped the dot; I decided to break Drake’s “Ransom” in the club and let Montreal get familiar with a 22 year old Jewish Kid who is going to make an impact on the rap game real soon.

Big thanks to everyone in Montreal for the hospitality as per usual – Payce, Emerson, Jason, Vic, and everyone who always comes through to show love.

We’ll be back there in November most likely..! Here is some randomness from the trip, shouts to REDEF for the pics

Sleep is important. Get it when you can!

Checking in

Park Hyatt, Downtown Montreal

Jano’s hot sauce is the truth!

The greatest chicken & lamb known to man, Janos Portuguese Cuisine!

Van Gogh’s Thursdays Keep’s Keeping On!

So the new Thursday Night residency is going pretty well.. This week I welcome an old friend & one of the dudes I used to buy records off back in the day – DJ Big Jacks!

Here are a few of the events we’ve had over the last month at Van Gogh’s on a Thursday… Much love to everyone who has come through!


Lost In The Willderness x October’s Very Own

October 16th. Yup Yup.

N.E.R.D.

So on Monday afternoon my homeboy Bobby Redef me up and we headed down to Livestock (edit: we stopped by Craft Burger first – aka one of the best Burger’s in Toronto.. Get familiar like Clinton Sparks and goto King & Portland and order a combo with onion rings) where N.E.R.D. were scheduled to make an in-store appearance before their concert/performance alongside Common later that night.  Much love to the Livestock crew for bypassing us past a 2 hour lineup that wrapped around the building! After chilling inside for almost another two hours with the peoples Mensa, PhotoWill, Jose, Universal, etc. we finally got to build with the N.E.R.D.’s themselves.

Pharrell Williams, Shae, Fam-Lay & their management were suprisingly down to earth and receptive to the idea and concept of the the Bridging The Gap Mixtape series.  After hustling some drops & building the relationship, Pharrell let me know he had some new artists to break.. So now it’s officially official! Yezzur.

Tdot to VA.. Hosted By The Clipse, Guest Starring N.E.R.D. & featuring exclusive music from the Star-Trak camp… Soon come. Let me wrap up this North Carolina mixtape with Little Brother, and then I shall begin on this project.. !





Method Man & Redman Shut It Downnn…!

So this past Friday Night, I opened the Red & Meth show in Toronto @ The Koolhaus.  All in all, it was a pretty crazy show.. Apart from the all ages crowd not knowing half the tunes they should have, it was still a dope vibe.  Shouts out to Lancelot & RG for holding me down, DJ Dice (Redman’s DJ), as well as my peoples Tona, Era & Famous who all did their thing opening up.. Honorary mention to 40 aka Noah showing up randomly asking me to use headphones to DJ someone’s set last minute haha.. Classic.  By that point in time the “WU-TANG, WU-TANG” chants were heavy and bottles were flying, so he said screw it and left!

Here are some pics of the night!
