Wristpect x The Clipse x Kid Cudi

Haven’t found time to update the blog/site for a little while; things have been hectic.  History was made today.. Barack Obama – President of The United States of America. I bet if I asked you to repeat that very sentence outloud 2 years ago, you would have laughed.  Is it really time for a new world order?  Time will tell.. Regardless, it is a proud moment for human beings in general, and I’m excited about where we stand, and where we are heading..!

One of my partner’s in crime, and my emcee Sir Lancelot along with DJ Tilt are actually in Washington as I type this.  Mediaphase (site will be up very shortly) booked them for Google’s aferparty for Obama’s Inauguration! It’s only 3 weeks into the year and the squad is already beginning to make history.  We don’t sleep.  You really shouldn’t either..

So as I was saying, we’re just about 3 weeks into the year, and it’s going to be a great ’09..

This past Thursday I got to re-connect with The Clipse (Malice, Pusha T, DJ Rick Geez).  Last time I was with them was in May of 2007 when I opened their concert here in Toronto.

Almost 2 years later, we met up again..

Last Thursday/Friday was a hectic 40 hours.. It went something like this:

I met up with DJ Rick Geez & Pusha T at the hotel.  We discussed the Bridging The Gap Mixtape movement, and it’s now official – Volume 4 will be Hosted by The Clipse, co-starring N.E.R.D. ! From Toronto, to Virgina, we stay building bridges and crossing borders. Pay attention!

After that, we took Rick Geez to the studio (see: 2 studios.. One of the 1200s at Remix was broken, so we had to relocate to another location) so he could record his mix show which he had to submit to the radio station in Virgina the next day..

Now by the time we got to the 2nd studio in the west end, it was already 11:30pm. He had to record an hour long mix, which brings us to 12.30 am..

Now in the midst of all this running around, I still had my club night in Guelph at Van Gogh’s going on.. The homies Tilt & Illiment were holding things down up there, but Lancelot and I still needed to go up and play our set before the night was over.. This is another 45 minute drive from Downtown Toronto lol

After dropping Rick Geez off back at the hotel after making sure he got his mixshow recorded, we made our way to Guelph.. We finally arrived there at 1.45am, and hopped straight on the tables!  It was a takeover, even though it was a short set, the vibe was crazy – lights on at 2.30 am and no one leaving the club till 3 am type of vibe. I love those nights..!  We are out there every Thursday at Van Gogh’s 2nd Floor – $2.50 drinks & $100 Grey Goose. Come through.

By the time I got home it was 5 am.. 4 1/2 hours later I was up and on the way to Seneca College to do a sound check. Famous was opening The Clipse show (they had two shows in one day, an early and a late night at Circa), and I was DJ’ing his set.  Ran into Malice, Pusha, Ab-Liva there once again:

After that it was off to Livestock, where they were promoting their new Play Cloths line:



While kicking it at Livestock, Kid Cudi passed through as well.. He’s a real humble dude & hopefully I will be able to bang out a mixtape with him around summer time.. Here are some more photos courtesy of PhotoWill:









Straight after that it was off to another out of town club gig in Waterloo.. Got home at 5am again.. 4 1/2 hours of sleep every 48 hours. That’s how it goes sometimes.. Till next time.. Peace!

Wristpect, Lancelot, JD Era opening Redman & Method Man Tour

Here’s a little clip from back in September.. Show at The Koolhaus was crazy with over 2000 people. My bad on the grainy footage, I messed up a setting on the camera!

Take it in:

Big shout’s to two of the nicest emcees from the city of Toronto. Check for both on the ‘Bridging the Gap’ series under the mixtapes section.

Some Video Clips of Scratch & I openinig for ‘DJ Premier vs. Pete Rock’

Peace to my man Jesse from The Manifesto Festival for putting me on to one of the biggest shows I’ve had the pleasure of rocking/opening up.  Two dude’s whose records’ I would always be digging for and buying up when at Play De Record – DJ Premier & Pete Rock.. Head to head. For the 2nd time ever. In a 3500 person venue, to end off the greatest hip hop festival the City of Toronto has ever witnessed. I opened for Scratch, who then opened for Premo & Pete Rock.  Check some of the footage!

It’s 09.. Let’s go!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Hope you guys all had a safe and fun time on New Years Eve where ever you ended up. Thank you to everyone who partied with us at GOSSIP for the NBA Celebrity Soiree – the vibe was crazy..! The Toronto Raptors & Denver Nuggets were definitely in the building; my man Carmello Anthony from the Nuggets hosted my 2nd set and there is a possibility of an Allstar Mixtape in the works.. Not a bad way to start of the year!

Once again, I wanna say THANKS to everyone.. ’08 was a crazy year for me; I got to open concerts & shows for Nas, Mos Def, Just Blaze, Little Brother, EPMD etc., toured Canada & The United States, playing parties at The Playboy Mansion, in LA, Vegas, as well as private parties for Usher, John Legend, etc!!

I’m going to be working overtime to make sure this year is even better.. I have lot’s planned and tons in store!!

Thanks to everyone who has been down since day one, and to all of the recent supporters as well. To name everyone is next to impossible, so I’m going to avoid doing so for the sake of most likely leaving out names.. But a big, big thanks to everyone – if you have helped or supported me in anyway, it does NOT go unappreciated.. Trust!

So it’s a New Year.. Let’s go..!! Here’s what’s up for ’09 so far as far as clubs, radio & tours go!
