BROCCOLI KUNG PAO RECAP

So last night I headed over to Broccoli Kung Pao, you know the happening non-Hollywood event on a Tuesday night.  Well last night was special...Def Sound rocked (though none of the photos of him I took came out clear, probably because he's a ball of energy) as did LAUSD and Language Artz and a few other acts.  In the middle of all the performances Rapper Big Pooh took the stage with Joe Scudda and set the crowd into a frenzy.  For LAUSD's set they brought pretty much all of LA onto the stage and performed many of the crowd favorites as many folks were rapping along with the songs.  Alotta the familiar faces were there: Chris Focus, Diz Gibran, El Prez (he hosts every week) DNEZ, Convinced, Dale Danja, Tunji, Skeme, 310, C-San, DRG Films as well as some new faces such as Basicali.  I saw the group Overdoz perform for the 1st time.  Language Artz did a energetic set featuring Picaso, Thr33zy & A.T.  All in all a good night, special shout out to Broccoli City.

WORLD PREMIERE - LAUSD presents DOM KENNEDY

So I heard this while over at Polyester's studio, that "FAMOUS" night when all the rappers were in the house, and before the "celebration" started Poly let me here this track. Well it's finished, signed sealed and delivered now. Another track from the forthcoming LAUSD presents: Curly Tops and Nautica Jackets. Trust me when this drops you're going to want to pick this up. The newest track has Dom Kennedy doing his 1, 2 over a classic groove and Poly lacing the hook. A good track to have when you're driving around with a lady friend.

Miss Donna Karan - LAUSD f. Dom Kennedy

Don't forget the other dope tracks off of this upcoming project: It's Not Right and 405. I'll make sure to tell you where to cop this project when it's ready.

CHRIS FOCUS x PAC DIV x POLYESTER x L4 x DOM x JAY Z?

So last night I went to sit in on Chris Focus' session with Polyester the Saint and L4 as they vibed on material for the upcoming LAUSD presents: Curly Tops & Nautica Jackets. I've already dropped It's Not Right and 405 right here, and those tracks are definite HEAT. Well I heard some other tracks, as well as the one Chris Focus will be featured on and I must say this will be a west coast classic (think "The Chronic"). As Chris Focus was listening to his verse and some tweaks that Poly made to it...Dom Kennedy, Carter, J Skillz and Pac Division showed up and a good time ensued. I hung out with all those cats til about 4:35 AM. Here are some photos to showcase the moment and a couple random videos to wet your whistle over the weekend. Monday I'll have some more "finessed" footage, as all this here is raw (raw photos & raw footage). So stay tuned as I bring you more from that night so we can get you ready for the next track to be released off of the LAUSD project. Said track will drop right here on TUESDAY.

Big Mibbs of Pacific Division chillin' with Chris Focus as they vibe to some of Poly's beats together. That Curly Tops & Nautica Jackets is shaping up quite nicely. Above them; Like of PAC DIV zoning out to a beat.

Chris Focus kicks a couple bars off top as he and Mibbs went back and forth for a few verses. As Chris would say: "with Mibbs it's "Deeper Than Rap" (soon you'll understand why).

Above are some shots of Mibbs giving his account of when he met Jay Z on Pac Div's trip to NY last week. He talks about their convo in regards to Jay vs Nas, and how Jay Z left the club. Stay tuned, there is video out there of Mibbs explaining this story. I should have that on Monday. Stay Tuned.
