streets of atlanta, georgia. i’m staying in cascades with my cousin for the long weekend, and i have less than $100. will i make it out alive? probably. what will be the most exciting event of my atlanta power move?
yerp. the musical geniuses that are N*E*R*D. as well as common sense and the wonderful janelle monae. HUGE shout out to dan the man for the free tickets. isn’t that crazy? the joints were free-99 . talk about lucky. you already know i’ll be there early with a poland spring bottle and 5 fingers in the shape of a star trak sign. anybody going to this joint, as well as those who reside in the A, hit me and do not $#!t me. let’s find some stuff to get into. i’ll be back in beantown on sunday. that’s 5 days to wreak havoc.
washington DC’s wpgc 95.5, home of donnie simpson and big tigger, as well as a rack of other local celebrities, just started HD radio channel to support the metro area’s talent.
no, i’m not playing. that means artists from the DMV can be heard 24/7 on your HD receivers and online. but we all know nobody has an HD receiver in their car yet. so i guess just online. and honestly, when i tried to jam it, it didn’t work out too well.
props to my man who runs goadome talk for being the first to blog about it.
ALL local artists should probably hit the crank radio website up for more info, but the important stuff is that they do not take music via e-mail. so you can either mail your music and press kit, or bring it to them, 9-5 at this address:
WPGC
Att: Crank
4200 Parliament Place #300
Lanham, MD 20706.
i’m making a power move back to the bean for a brief stint with boston george and a few classes. kinda like this guy:
you gotta play this song before you read all of this stuff. i like giving people theme music so you can see how i picture things. please.

shout out to everybody who made that last two months back home crucial. and shout out to tahir who says he checks the blog regularly, ha. and shout out to everybody who threw a party or a get together, because they were all vicious. shout out to nas vegas for the constant scoops and whip appeal. shout out to lenny for introducing me to beautiful howard women. shout out to mr. goode for just being the ultimate power mover and never loafing. shout out to cori for the gold’s gym connect, even though i’m fairly sure she’ll never read this. shout out to mr. freddie brown for running the city. and everybody else who was around and i kicked it with. yeah, i just gave some shout outs like the liner notes of an album.
whoever’s in boston, hit me up. i’ll be posted up like a mailbox in the dorms. jobless, whipless, girl-less. that means no real power moves, no dates, no new purchases or pick ups, and no late night excursions. just some A’s on the summer transcript. basically, in some woeful circumstances. and i’ll still be updating the joint on the regular.
oh, and someone let me know what the move is 4th of july.
the incredible rock n’ soul band red ink performs friday, june 27 at santa fe cafe in college park, MD. yeah, that’s right. that spot right next to the 7-11. i’ll be in the house, as well as my goons. yikes. that sounded so lame. as well as a few of my homies. definitely come out and support them. i hear that their live show is INCREDIBLE.
i know you need a taste (no brokeback, RIP heath), so check them out.

if you liked that, they have plenty more hits where that came from. hit them on the myspace to hear more. their set comes on around 11ish, so a little late, but it’s friday. and they got specials for days to get you nicer than mrs. doubtfire. or than the shy guy.
so essentially, friday night = santa fe @ college park night. a perfect way to segue into the carribean day festivities in DC. let’s get it. and get your vocab up. go look up segue on dictionary.com. educated out here. if you scared, go to church.
and i’m not even close to ready. i have no clothes, i have no planned moves, i have no idea of what i’ll get into. i don’t even speak french. i’m only there for like 5 or 6 days, so the key is dapping up any and everybody that i know that will be there. which is like 3 people. last time me and nas vegas went to paris, we met some nice girls in the eiffel tower. and the loved us, but we couldn’t speak french, and they couldn’t speak english. we communicated in a poor man’s spanish, because that’s the one language we all took in high school. and tell me why we told them we were 22, when we were like 18. they were 23! it was great. back in the days, man.
if anybody has power moves for me (and my brother, who left last week) to make in the city of love, let me know. i’m talking everything. people to meet, places to visit, stores to window shop in, cultural enrichment trips, and key phrases in french. described to me phonetically, of course. i’ll document the trip via photo and video and throw it up here.
next move needs to be tokyo. i’m just saying, though.
wiz khalifa - star power. best trunk music. ever.
the native soul - an evolution. it's $ulaiman of blind i. rapping!
christian rich - the decay mixtape [think electrorock meets hip hop and dates it for a bit.]
the paxtons - members only. chi-town/dc-bred dudes. nice rhymes, crazy beats.
evidence - the layover mixtape. this joint is CRAZY.
crucial mix by PFOP's lo. love songs and such!
if coldplay and jay-z made a album, it'd sound like this.
GLC - i ain't even yet: the mixtape. kanye's G.O.O.D. music artist's latest offering.
dandiggity's eclecticuts vol. 2. assortment of eclectic cuts. obviously.
dj klever - flashback. CRUCIAL mix of 80's jams that you've probably never heard before.
g*two - one man army. newest talent out the DMV. he's nice.
he said/she said.
