Economic Stimulation.. Yes Sir!

I just had to do it - It's Friday and it's payday. After reading on Bloomberg that the first estimate of real GDP growth for the 4th quarter was negative 3.8% (and I expect it probably could be worse when the Commerce Dept releases the real figures), I figured it's only right I do my part as a consumer to stimulate the U.S. economy.


I know, I know, we might be outta this recession even quicker if I keep this up - you can thank me later. Plus, I needed some fresh whites and I've been in love with the Dunk Low black/gums for a while.

Oh, to keep it music-related, I upped some new tracks from Raekwon featuring Ghostface & Crooked I and Rihanna alongside The-Dream. Peep below.


Shouts to DrJays.com rep BossLadyNYC for the info that Classic Kicks was having a dope sale and major clearances. Now go out and do your part y'all!

Just One Of Those Days

Sup all. I'd love to say Happy Friday but mine has been anything but. You ever get that feeling that as soon as your day is started, you feel like it's not your day at all?

After two accidents caused bumper-to-bumper traffic driving to work that impeded me from my daily Dunkin Donuts ritual, I rolled up to the office about a half hour late. I'm not focused here at work, I've got a bunch of projects but can't get my mind right. Plus, a couple of my co-workers are getting on my nerves. Just let me be, damn it.

The only thing I've got goin for me is that it's Friday and the weekend is almost here. That reminds me, I'm hoping to see Mos Def at one of his 6 shows at the Blue Note NYC this weekend. Also, I peeped this flyer up top at Notes from a Different Kitchen for a Bob Marley celebration at the Blender Theater at Gramercy on what would be his born day February 6th. All true reggae heads would appreciate this show.

Oh, and this is my 300th post, it's a celebration bitches. I haven't hooked up new tracks in a lil bit, so here's a couple. Hopefully they'll help you have a better day than me, Enjoy!

Little Bit of Hip, Little Bit of Hop..

What up mid-day Monday! I'm back in the grind mode at work but I'm taking some time off to bless my loyal readers with some info on upcoming NYC events and some new tracks I'm feelin.

Producer and MC 88-Keys will be hosting a special performance and signing autographs at Fat Beats NYC this Thursday, the 15th. If you haven't already, you'll have the chance to cop that Death Of Adam LP and maybe even see some special guests swing thru. Good looks to Deadly Melody for the info, check the flyer up top for details.

A little further down the road on Thursday the 22nd, Jersey rep Joe Budden is performing at S.O.B.'s with the Slaughterhouse crew - Royce Da 5'9, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz. Presented by Amalgam Digital, sounds like a real dope line-up - if you want to scoop tix, get 'em right here. Shouts to knobbz at Metal Lungies for the heads up.
