SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS NEW NIGHT!

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:
