DJ EROK PRESENTS "SIGHT + SOUND" W/ SPEAK from EROK TV on Vimeo.

NOTHING WILL BE AS DOPE AS THIS PARTY!

Sorry I've been missing in action on the site, been workin on new projects that you will soon see come to fruition. On another note, last night was The Grasshopper, and I decided to record & release my set. We had guest performances from Hawdwerk & Jansport J - who debuted some new records, Ayomari - fresh from his tour with TiRon, & Sunspot Jonz - of the Living Legends fame. To say the least it was a good night for L.A. hip hop! I'm sure there will be footage floating around on the net soon enough. Here's my set list  & download link for the mix:

Art Goon is the alternative version of #swag which is waaaay more mainstream (thanks Soulja Bo & Lil B). All very talented and creative individuals above including orchestra woman Brass aka Pistol Etiquette B*atch aka Ayla. Big shouts to all, carry on the good work.

I can hardly remember what happened Friday in Pomona, luckily though Brass Pix was able to capture everything! Here's just a lil bit of what went down:

Here's a fresh new track that my boy Cashius Green just sent me. C. Green and partner-in-crime Fly Jewelz flow over Ye's return-to-the-throne anthem. It definitely gives a different point-of-view. Take a listen for yourself. His "$unny$ide Up" mixtape is shaping up to be a pretty solid effort! In other news, Cashius will also be joining forces with DJ Alf Alpha, Pheo, & Speak! as they tear down Pomona Glasshouse on Oct 15 opening up up for Lil B "The BASED GOD" (Whatever that means - haha) - peep the flier below:

Pheo & Cashius Green are I.E.'s next titans, you would have known this if you seen them rock at any spliff/bananas event. Pheo & Cashius are both preparing solo mixtapes - set to be released in months to come. They recently decided to beat-jack drizzy/swizzy's "Fancy" and showcase their UTB Fancy Life$tyle. Take a listen to it below
