In The Works
I am currently in the works with these projects:
SampleSimple - Working it, improving it and pushing it.
C3TLive - Hip-Hop never dies and this energy cooks up like food.
Boombox Radio - Surgically implementing a live-streaming experience for the masses.
more to come…

Beat Lounge A Success
December’s Beat Lounge presented by Unknown Funk Hero (sponsored by MOOG Audio) in Toronto at the Silver Dollar Room was a great turn-out. Producers Big Pops, Gigz, Rich Kidd, Mantis, Buttafingaz, Fresh Kils, Pro Logic, Fraction and headliner Marco Polo played banging-ass beats that had the crowd leaving with neckbraces supplied by the Silver Dollar Room staff. Stay tuned for the next Beat Lounge next year in January.

MADLIB is NOT Performing in Toronto, Despite Flyer
For the second time in the history o’ rap, Madlib, as advertised, WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE TO PERFORM IN TORONTO. I repeat WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE TO PERFORM IN TOR-ON-TO YO.
I’m not sure who’s photoshopped (and shopped) this flyer to the people up here in cold Canada but many have been had once again (see below). According to the OFFICIAL StonesThrow website, you know them… Madlib’s label, has specifically CAPATILIZED IN BOLD THAT MADLIB WILL NOT BE PERFORMING. I’m sure it’ll still be a good show though. JROCC and Karriem should tear it up regardless.
