What's Really Good?


I felt like I haven't posted in ages. Its been about 2 weeks. I'm really get addicted to this..so much so I'm writing a blog on a LX ha.

In regards to my last post, the performance with Von Sway and KO-Lition on 106&Park last Wednesday was a huge success. They ended up winning the Wildin' Out Wednesday contest. I'd like to think I had a little something to do with that.

Anyway I figured I'd talk a little about my spring break, some of the music research I've done, talk about some underground clothing that I fuck with and that you should get up on..

This spring break '09 was mad JERK! For those of you who may not know what that means, it means it was
WACK! I mean don't get me wrong, I got to chill out and spend time with the people I love. My pops got all chef boyardee on me and made dinner for my girl and I..it was lovely. But other than that, I didn't go anywhere. Since high school, each spring break I was making moves from Cali, Mexico, New Orleans, etc. I don't know, I just wasn't used to it. The furthest place I went was Long Island...smh.

As you may or may not know, I'm going to be an A&R, I think I was seriously born for this shit ..but yeah I tend to do a lot of new artist research and I'm constantly on the grind for new music and new sounds. Lately, everyone has been riding the Drake wave..yeah you know, Jimmy from Degrassi who was boo'd up with the white girl. I first heard Drake about 2yrs ago when he was on "Replacement Girl" with Trey Songz. The only reason I heard that song was because I was going through a break up with one of my ex's, my friend put me on and it explained exactly how I felt. By the 3 time I listened to it, I knew Drake's part by heart. (I was going hard). But what got me into him was, his sound. From the way he sounded I couldn't even picture how he looked. It didn't sound completely white or completely black. So you know I had to google image that ass. When I saw him, I was shocked, I was like "That's him?" wowww. Now look at him..making hits! he doesn't make shoot em up, bang, bang music..which is cool, because if he did it wouldn't fit his image. I think people would be like "Dude sit down, you were on Degrassi!" I've been listening to some of his mixtapes and the new album "So Far Gone" and what I do is make 3 lists: Tough
Grow on me
Wack.
So far he has a lot of tracks in Tough, 2 in Grow on me, and none in wack..good job Jimmy!

Next on the agenda..

Underground clothing brands! I know this is a music entertainment blog but what's music entertainment without a little fashion news? Well anyway, I got into underground clothing brands in like junior year of hs. This is when I'd like to believe they were just getting recognized..(I like to think I'm always 1 of the firsts to find out about shit lol). Since then I've been rockin with Stussy, Hellz Bellz, The Hundreds, 10 deep, Crooks and Castles..just to list a couple of my favs. Right now I'm currently wearing TLS which stands for Triple L Society. Not many people know about this brand because it's literally getting its feet off the ground. The kid who started it is only 20 years old! If you want to find out more about TLS go to: www.triplelsociety.com. iight, I'm out.
