The Preview

I'm having hard time loading videos from my flip cam so until I figure out what the heck is going on, you can sooth your ears with the sounds of Rogue Agent (Motorcycle Michael + 6S)

LISTEN HERE

The Roots @ H.O.B.

The Roots stopped through the city of Cleveland last month. The show was nice, as expected. The crowd was diverse, as expected. DJ Steph Floss opened and talked on the mic, as expected. The dopest part of the show was the percussion breakdown by the almighty Quest Love, as expected. (Little known fact: I was a percussionist for like 4 years

Check out the footage I captured via FlipCam.

The Coventry Kids

Keeping in line with my posts about the good times on Coventry, I want to introduce some of the coolest MoFos on the block - The Coventry Kids.




I could go on and on about how much I love these guys and how awesome they are but I won't.


Just check out their site THECOVENTRYKIDS.COM and when you're in the area, drop by Heart & Sole and The Above Boutique and say hello. (While you're there, stop in Brigade and say hello to Dan The Man. Post coming soon....I can't give you all the good stuff at once.)

Next on Coventry

Coventry is by far one of my favorite spots in the city. Good food. Good shopping. Great people.

Over the holiday weekend, I did a LOT of macking and hanging with my friends on Coventry. Friday night, the citizens of the greater Cleveland area welcomed NeXt Boutique to the neighborhood. I must say that the decor of the store is very nice, much better than the other NeXt locations. The clothing selection is similar to the Beachwood location but that may change over the next few seasons.

Sidenote: Mick Boogie came through and spun for a few minutes. He played the sample from "Best I Ever Had" and blended it into the Drake track. I was in awe. Mick Boogie strikes again.

UrLife Blog

The homie T.Cherry started a site about a month or so ago called UrLife Blog. It consists of random rants and viewpoints from himself and a few guest bloggers.

I like it b/c there's no real format....it's just whatever comes to mind. Unstructured. Uncensored. Unfiltered. Thoughts.

Check it out and if you're interested in submitting, hit him up at urlifeblog@gmail.com.

Secrets to 6S

Kind of a corny title, I know but hey...it's the first thing that came to mind.

One thing I always talk about it the people that I surround myself with. Everyone provides a different perspective and adds value in their own way. One key thing I learned is IT IS BETTER TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING WRONG THAN TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT. For that reason, I keep very cynical people in my circle....quick to point out the wack, the lame, the corny, and the cliche'. In fact, one of my closest friends hates pretty much everything. When I go to bounce ideas off of these people, if they don't immediately tell me how bad it sucks, I know it must be a pretty decent idea.

Houstonfest

I took a little trip to Houston last month. I figured since I was in Atlanta, I'd shoot over to the H and check out the scenery (I totally forgot that Texas is fricking huge so the flight was still going to take like 2 hours...but that's neither here nor there).

While I was there I ate some good food, went on a couple of soft dates, did a little browsing. I also spent a few hours at 719 with the homie IB3 and gang. I forgot to sign the wall so I'll have to stop back thru the crib when I'm down there this fall.

Above the Houston skyline

One thing I learned is that people in Houston CANNOT DRIVE!!!! I almost got in like 6 accidents just on the way from the airport to my hotel. This guy just stone cold stopped in the middle on the highway for no reason at all. Call him and tell him he sucks.

I've wanted a rose gold bottom FOREVER! So I stopped by TV Johnny's at the Galleria and got one.

Houston was hot. Super hot. Especially when you go to check in your hotel and it's on fire. Luckily, they put the fire out and everything was okay.
