What a dope article describing Uptown Friday Nights (the event that I've been performing in on Fridays at RAS Restaurant & Lounge in DC)! Head Roc (the author) is a phenomenal performer and all-around great guy. Check it out.

"WASHINGTON, DC:
The Diamond District (XO, Oddisee & YU) kicked off 2010 with a European tour. Tarica June released the thought provoking Moonlight Revolution mixtape. She also has a nice blog at www.taricajune.net. Likeblood and Bobby Valentino shot the “Money Over Here†video at the Ibiza nightclub. The video is currently in heavy rotation on MTV Jams. Promoter Dre “All Day In The Paint†brought Freeway and Yo Gotti to perform in DC on consecutive weeks. The Blood Link Cartel just dropped a hard-hitting CD entitled Da Family. “Goblin†is Southeast Slim new single produced by the Hitter Quitter Boyz. Eezy Money has two nice tracks out right now: “Jockin†and “Get Paid.†And finally Team Jomo from Capitol Heights, MD has a hot song entitled “Sidekick†featuring Nia Owens on the hook.

I just want to thank everyone who came out to the show last night. I had a great time! This was my first time performing with my new band and it was truly amazing. Bloombars is a very nice venue. I'm hoping to do another show there really soon. The next shows that I have lined up are:
1) Rooftop Hip-Hop Showcase on July 24. Location: Georgia & Quincy NW Washington D.C. (will post exact location soon). Time: 7:00pm
and
2) the Capital Cause "To DC With Love Festival" on July 31. Location: Howard University Field. Time: ALL DAY (will post my show time as soon as I know it).
...Tuesday June 15th I'll be doing a special show at Bloombars (3222 11th St. NW; Washington, D.C. 20001) at 8pm. I'm doing this show to make up for what went on at the CASRAM show where I only ended up being able to perform 1 1/2 songs. I was disappointed since I had invited quite a few people to the show. Anyway, this is how I want to make it up to you guys.
Come out if you can!

I loved the Facebook-related videos from the Blame It On Ashley team so much that I subscribed to their YouTube channel. For those that don't know, this means that whenever Blame It On Ashley posts a new video I receive an email alert. So today I received an e-mail alert about a new BIOA video, and I was all primed for laughter, but instead I got this video. It features a sister by the name of Lady Terror taking her poetry to the streets, and even doing yoga at the Carry-Out (yes, the Carry-Out). Now, as much as I LOVE yoga, I would never do it at the Carry-Out (serious lol to that). Notwithstanding that fact, . . . Wow. Just Wow. Because this sister is so committed to bringing her message to the people that she goes directly to where they are. Point blank. Bullhorn in front of the liquor store. WHAT?!?
Now a confession: I personally feel called out by this video (and think a lot of other artists may too). I feel that way specifically because on In the Air (the last track on Moonlight Revolution) I basically professed that I was going to take my message to the people whether radio picked it up or not...
"I'mma tell the truth till the roof's off this place, if they don't play it or what, I don't give a ____ I would move units out the side of the ice cream truck, call the kids and tell em to eat it up, like the Revolution is comin, don't run, don't duck."And figuratively, that's what I thought I'd been doing... ( ███████████████████] Load grammatically incorrect sentence) I've been doing a lot of shows ever since MR dropped... I've been trying ...
This is one of my favorite songs by Kumi Hues. It's called Your Uncle Sam. I can't wait for their new album! Much love to this group. Press the name of the track and a player will load.
