A Day In the Life: Inwood Adventures & Central Park Heat

This weekend was truly beautiful. Despite a crippling heatwave- I was able to enjoy the company of good friends and icy beer.

On Saturday I made a trip uptown to visit my pal R.Thentic (who if you don't already know- is AN INCREDIBLE producer). In celebrating the countdown to his big 3-0, lucky attendees got a sneak peek into his upcoming album. The tracks really left me speechless- it was one of those moments where you don't even need to speak to anyone else sitting in the room because you are all quietly vibing. The music truly does speak for itself- complex, emotional, and mysterious. I can't wait until it becomes available for the public so I can share it with everyone!!!!!!!

Happy [almost] Birthday RTNC




Today I trekked to Summerstage to stand in 93 degree madness and watch The Fools Gold crew come out and bless the stage. Santogold Headlined the event, and as always was fierce!

Great Weekend.

A Day In The Life: Only In NY

My favorite season is Summer in NY (yes...specifically NY). While the heat from the subway station may be a killer- nothing trumps the chill atmosphere of summer nights with your friends.





7pm: Brooklyn/PowerHouse Arena - Highwater Music. Chopped it up with some of the usual suspects. Ran into Konate of Slam Magazine. . . and got to see amazing photgraphy while doing it all!





9:30: Dinner with the man-tourage. T+S+M and myself. FYI--Watching men try to pick girls up in a BBQ spot is hilarious, but then hearing about how they strategize it is even better...


Guys are funny...and ps: they wil eternally wonder why girls go to the bathroom together. I had to drop some knowledge today & spill some secrets (sorry ladies!)





11:30: Santos Party House


I was supposed to meet my new co-workers, but got a big fat DENIAL at the door when I tried to get in. Thats what happens in NY when you leave a list with a woman in a bad mood! Ironically my man-tourage had been planning on going to a party at the same spot (on a different floor) and actually knew the doorman there.





11:45: We roll into the upstairs of Santos Party House where Q-Tip & Rich Medina were spinning (I am SO NOT mad this was my fate for the evening). The music was ON POINT & Q-Tip kept asking everyone to Salute Nas who was in the house. 40 songs & tons of sweat later....my body was begging me to leave, but the music kept forcing me to stay & dance.



some dance highlights included: Lord Sear breaking it down & The Retro Kidz doing their usual bobby brown routine









3:00: I realize that I'm dying of dehydration & I need to leave. T&I grab some of our fave beverages and make the most of a beautiful evening & perfect weather- so we take a long walk to the park (and our trains).





4:00: Finally head home.





good music. good company. and a hell of a good time! The weekend has JUST started & saturday and Sunday will be even more musically packed.



More info on these weekends concerts & shows later. xo
