Santa Monica
Had a good day at studio, managed to finish up a song and start a new one…I’m really psyched for this new beat. It feels so good as an emcee to hear a beat that excites your soul and you already know how big the energy will swell at live shows!
Tonight we headed to APOGEE Summer Bash in Santa Monica. (Missed a Stussy Party tho! ) I have to give Apogee the Big Ups for really good food! Entering the spot, you are tricked into believing that some Pigs in a Blanket, mini burgers, mac & cheese and assorted finger foods were all that might be available. (Best Mac & Cheese I’ve ever had) Round the corner and there’s a Quesadillas bar, Taco bar and of course a BAR bar. LOL. The drink menu was every delicious fruity flavour of mojitos possible. I’m going to propose that the APOGEE ONE should sponsor my various exploits around the world – I encounter amazing sounds and music to sample everyday. I was surprised to find that the device was only $250. Man, the credit card is getting a work out here in L.A.
OZO MOTLEY opened up the night and brought a lot of hype and riddim to the digesting people. The music was great guys and the precessions were hitting nicely.
The highlight of the night had to be seeing John Fortes casually join the open mic. I remember when I was listening to 99 (FLASH THE MESSAGE) in my car shortly after getting my driver’s license or Lauryn calling out “John Fortes” on ubiquitous Fugee tracks before he’d lay down a real intellectual 16. Great vibes…who knows…collabo on the horizon? Hope so.
Here is a clip of his open mic performance…
