I was feeling the hood pumpin in me today, so I went to eat Haitian griot, but to truly fulfill my experience of eating like a black person, I had to complement my rice & beans and pork, with the one and only Purple Drank.
P.S.: Ben Trep, everyone tells me your the food specialist around, so if you’re reading this, I dare you to go. It’s called Meli-Melo on Jarry street. You gotta go to the back of the grocery store to find the hidden counter…(everyone = maura)
My homie from Vegas just started a new blog called The Breakfast of Champions dedicated to critiquing, with a humorous turn, of daily banal life. Knowing Neek, this will be something of great interest…Look forward to seeing what this website will bring to the blogosphere. But from what I see and read so far, seems to me like a breathe of fresh air from all the coolguy blogs (i’ll include mine as one of those annoying coolguy blogs if I may)
DJ EXCEL(Philadelphia,LA) OF THE SKRATCH MAKANIKS is gonna be spinning at SUCO lounge tonight..I will make sure to be there
And Saturday, he will be spinning at OFF THE HOOK from 2pm-5pm
A small sampling of DJ Excel’s extensive client list includes: Jay-Z, Nas, LeBron James, Rhianna, Mick Jagger, Gil Scott Heron, Jazzy Jeff, A-trak and many more. Offering his talent to records as well, Excel has laid cuts on Jazzy Jeff’s “The Magnificent”, and Sat One’s “After Midnight”. Proving his diversity, Excel’s many corporate clients include: Mercedes Benz, Belvedere, NFL, T-Mobile, Marquise Jet, HBO and more.
Surpassing many with his intrinsic talent, Excel also provides original crafted sounds that have the world’s greatest crowd controllers spinning his notorious “EXCELARATOR” remixes in regular rotation on their own sets.
In 2009, Excel took the opportunity move to Los Angeles and work alongside Gomez Warren IV as “Audible Agent”. Whatever the alias or title, DJ Excel is one of the few who can play the dirtiest hip hop, the raving house sounds, the soul of funk, the dance of the 80′s and all the popular hits and not jeopardize the quality of the music.
So thursdays means 3 hours of being in front of my easel wth a painting knife in hand in some spacious studio downtown (which by the way is a beauty of it’s own).
My obsession with beamed ceilings overpowered my trigger finger..
