P-Plus’ Website Launch Party

The homie, and one of Toronto’s OG hip hop DJ’s, P-Plus is throwing his website release party Thursday night, alongside some guest artists such as Colin Munroe, Saukrates and a very special Guest. I also remember seeing an early preview for the party with a third name attached, but it is now listed as a very “special guest”. Can y’all can guess who it might be? Big shouts to P Plus & Corwin. I’ll be there as soon as I can leave Oshawa!

Check the E-vite for more info!

.. Off to Los Angeles for the weekend & April/May updates!

What’s up everyone?

I know, I haven’t been updating nearly as much as I’d like to.. What can I say other than ‘I’ve been busy & haven’t found the time’.

April has been a pretty crazy month so far, but it’s not over just yet..! I’ve been holding down Dragonfly Tuesdays at Niagara’s Fallsview resort & casino (http://www.dragonflynightclub.com), teaching classes Wednesdays at Scratchlab (http://www.scratchlab.ca), playing Saturday’s at D’luxe Lounge (http://www.theguvernment.com), getting out of town to play parties on Fridays, Elevate 09 at The CN Tower (http://www.elevate09.ca), throwing our Guys & Dolls event last Friday at Wetbar, etc.

I leave for LA tomorrow morning until Monday. I’ll be at Cabana Club on Friday (http://www.cabanaclubhollywood.com), celebrating the birthday of my homeboy Mike Danger & rocking 4 turntables with him, and Ivar (http://www.ivarhollywood.com) on Saturday! Big shouts to one of my clothing sponsors Orisue (http://www.orisue.com) for jumping on the night - we’ll have giveaways from them..

Drake: Bridging The Gap - Toronto to NYC

In October 2007, I envisioned a mixtape project that would cross borders from one country to another. From one city to the next, I wanted to ‘Bridge The Gap’ and provide Toronto based artists, producers, labels etc. an outlet and opportunity to shine south of the border.

In December 2007, I put my ideas together and dropped BRIDGING THE GAP VOL. 1 - TORONTO TO NYC

It featured a freestyle by a 19 year old kid named Drake over Jay-Z’s classic, “Dead Presidents”

Listen - “Drake - Dead Presidents Freestyle”

3 years later and dude is in the studio with Jay-Z and even called it himself on the interlude to this freestyle.. All I can say is, congratulations homey.. The world is finally waking up 3 years later.. Get em’ !

Elevate @ CN Tower Re-Cap..

So last night, myself, Sir Lancelot & DJ Tilt played a party 1000 feet in the air, on top of the CN Tower while over looking the city of Toronto.. What can I say, it got smashed..! 1200 people, 2 floors, a lot of alcohol and good music made for a great night and a historic event.  Tickets were actually sold out 8 days before the party and a lot of people missed out.. It ended up getting pretty hectic in there, and I don’t know if the Canadian Government would be up to do it again (The CN Tower is a government building).  Either way, I was happy to be a part of it.. Big shouts to Kleen Media, Dynamite Events & Voice Marketing for pulling it off and making it happen!
