On April 10, 2009….in Brooklyn, NY. I gave birth to my first baby…. I named it 80′s Sauce. It is my very first mix CD since embarking on my new found passion to DJ. Its an 80′s compilation for those grown folks like myself who remember when MTV did not show any black artists except Michael Jackson and Prince.
It’s not a flawless product, but I am very pleased with it. I’ve only been DJing since Dec. and this is just the first of many more to come. I hope you all enjoy!
I had the pleasure of being offered a free ticket and introduction to the infamous Rock the Bells Concert last Sunday at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
I started not to go, because I had a BIG project due for class that next day that I was trying to finish, but when I heard the line-up of artists that were going to be featured, I really could not pass up that opportunity. It was like one of those few moments in life that I just would not have felt right passing up.
It was an all day concert (11am-11pm) so I figured it wouldn’t hurt if I snuck away from my work long enough to catch the last three acts in their entirety. I got there about 6:30pm and according to my friends who had been there since 2:30pm, I missed Meth, Redman, Rakim, Cool Kids, Wale and a whole bunch of others tear the stage DOWN!
I did manage, however to catch my favorites… Mos Def, Nas and Tribe Called Quest. WHAT LUCK!!!???
INCREDIBLE is the only word I can think of to describe what I witnessed.
I have seen all these artists perform in various venues over the course of the last 10-15 years, but never at Rock the Bells. I must say, they really bought the best of what they do and really did ROCK THE BELLS… Literally!
I equate the experience to a feeling of falling in love with hip-hop all over again! It made me proud to be a part of the culture.
If you have never attended a Rock the Bells Concert… and you LOVE Hip-Hop… I highly recommend that you treat yourself to that experience.
It’s the best ticket in town.
