Brooklyn Meet Toronto: Masia One from themanifesto.ca on Vimeo.

The night before leaving on my flight to BK, I got a call from the Manifesto Doc team to shoot a quick promo. I told them to roll up to my area near Eglinton West (Little Jamaica) and come check the flavor of my hood. Horace at RAP’S was out front grilling his jerk chicken and kind enough to let us use his store as a back drop. He did want me to mention that his chicken is delicious.

Touched down in Brooklyn Baby, and already feeling great! I love BK…it’s my 2nd favorite place on earth. On the plane ride over they put T and I on the Blue Jays corporate plane! (Thanks for the upgrade Air Canada)  We were ballin’ out of control with our wide seats, chocolates and drinks. Nothing says “living the life” like leg room. We touched down to a pretty smoggy NYC and headed immediately to a nice little corner boogie spot with great music, people and drinks. (For some random reason they were serving free Vodka all night?) Ah, life is nice.

Today I have a meeting Keep a Child Alive, a great organization co-founded by Alicia Keys. I spent much of my spring months touring across Canada with DJ Dopey & Rochester for HIV awareness and supporting the work of KCA. I’m here in their home base to find out how I can continue being involved in helping their work.

Ok, don’t forget Friday night July 9. 2010 I’ll be rocking the show 10:10pm @ Southpaw, Brooklyn. Can’t wait to see all my New York peoples. Rich Kid, Tona, Eternia & Shad will also be rocking the spot starting at 7:30 and should not be missed – I have the greatest respect and admiration for these Toronto bred artists. I’ll be doing it up the Toronto meets Brooklyn way with my homegirl DJ SARASA visiting from Japan. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? One Love.
