Please Note: I did not record this for the sake of putting out a ‘Michael Jackson’ set or mixtape. As sad as his death was, it reminded all of us just how much great music this one man made in his lifetime.
He spent 45 years dedicating his heart & soul to us through the gift of music. This is just my celebrating, rediscovering, and enjoying his craft and talent for what it is..
I felt like it was impossible to contain his musical span into one mixtape or set, so these are just some of my favorite songs and melodies, blended and mixed together. From early Jackson 5 material, to features from Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, DJ Spinna, etc., and classics as well. 2 hours & 7 minutes. Thank you for listening!

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!

That’s where you can find me on the club/radio side of things during the 1st quarter of ‘09.
On top of that, I have a lot of mixtapes to hit you with once again! Last year I brought you mixtapes with the legendary AZ, another Bridging The Gap Series w/Little Brother, a tape with super producer Just Blaze, a Slow Jams & Classic Soul Mixtape, mixtapes with JD Era, the official mixtape for the Rock The Bells Festival, and more..!
This year look out for projects such as: Bridging The Gap TO-VA w/ The Clipse, Entourage w/ Jester, Party Life V2 w/ DJ Tilt, and some rock & electro projects as well..!!
Also, look out for the new website/blog launching within the month, and the site launch for my new-media & communications firm, Mediaphase Inc!
Got work to do,
I’m out!
Peace!
Damn, that was a long sentence. Before I get into anything, let me just put this out there… Imagine having a blackberry with no letter ‘A’ key. As in, the letter ‘A’ button, which conveniently is the ‘*’ button as well, ceases to function. I tend to break these things fairly quickly.
The last four days have been a mess; not having an ‘a’ key when on the road all day is like having a mouth that works, and a brain telling it what to say, but not being able to physically say it. Beyond frustrating.. The letter ‘A’ also happens to be one of two most commonly used letters when typing!
Thankfully, Rogers will be providing the new phone, and I should have a new PIN by tomorrow. So.. just call me if you need me. To all those whom I’ve sent texts, emails, and BBM’s that sound like you are communicating with a 3 yr old, my apologies!
‘Nuff talking. Getting in to things..

This one’s fairly self explanatory.. If you are familiar with the last two ‘Bridging The Gap’ series (see: New York & Chicago) of mixed compilations, then you know what to expect. Good looking out to everyone who came through on this project, from both Toronto & North Carolina. Production & emcees are from either of the two cities, and the project is hosted by Little Brother over a year ago when they were in Toronto, promoting their Getback LP. For various reasons (other mixtapes, parties, tours, my own laziness, etc) I never ended up getting back to this until I found out that they were coming back to TO for another tour.. Time flies. I’m happy its out, although wish I got to spend more time on it.. but such is life. Shouts to Big Dho aka MR DOITALL BITCH!
Again, DOWNLOAD IT HERE temporarily, until I put it into the Mixtapes archive.

NEW PODCAST - EPISODE 13
LITTLE BROTHER @ MOD CLUB OCT 19 ‘OPENING SET’ - DJ WRISTPECT & SIR LANCELOT
This came to me by surprise.. I decided to log in to myspace (yeah, remember that?) and found myself sorting through a shitload of unread msgs. Finally found this, good looking out to dude for recording it, making sure the levels were good, ripping it, uploading it, tagging it, and sending it to me..!
We had no idea this shit was being recorded. Lance didn’t even know he was going to mic for me.. In fact, about 3 minutes before I told him I needed help handing out mixtapes, he was side stage eating Burger King lol.. We were just having fun.. another 50 minutes of audio! It was a fun night.. shouts to REMG!
