Thank you King Khazm. This year for AAPI Month, this is for you, and your audacity to dream big. We did it, we’re doing it, and will continue to dive head-first into it.

#WeAreGolden#WeAreGRAMMYGold

LA friends, I’ll be rocking at DK3 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball tournament alongside musical comrades Abbey Rizz and Mid Century Modern Music ! This all goes down tomorrow at noon at the Venice Beach basketball courtyard- come through and let’s make a day of it!

A little bittersweet that we celebrate the incredible journey of Mid Century Modern ‘s debut “Stolen Moments” two year anniversary just two days before the late great Nes Rodriguez’s life celebration.

Nes was an avid supporter of MCM and was instrumental in helping us get the incredible push we received. In a short time we were able to peak at #7 on NACC Top Hip Hop, #1 Most Added on NACC Top Hip Hop Adds, #1 on RapAttackLives, #7 on Urban Influencer Rap Charts, KEXP’s “Song of the Day” and spins on over 50 stations across the states.

We traveled the US and Europe with this push, and when we moved to Los Angeles, Nes immediately started connecting dots, people and places with us, welcoming us like we were a piece of home returned.

I am so grateful to have been able to call my hometown hero a friend in the process and just hope he is looking down proudly as we move to keep his legacy alive. You are missed dearly, Unc. We look forward to celebrating and honoring you this Friday at Washington Hall.

What an eventful weekend chillun with my rolldawgs Kitty Wu and Bri! Good eats, good beats and good company. Slid down to San Diego for a hot second to connect with Cassandra and the fam. Popped down to Inglewood for the Liberacion Collective’s event in support of Congo and Lebanon. A day of powerful words, art and community. A moving keynote by Ijeoma Oluo building on collective liberation and hype set from my guy Gabriel Teodros. (Waddup Rell!) Then built with a ton of OGs and true-school heads at District Inks with djs, blackbook sessions, cyphers and good vibes. Biggup Cero157, Cera, OG Hex Tgo, Klass (happy bboy day my g!), Grand Official, Grip, and everyone at Graffroots for the love and hospitality. It brought me much needed energy, especially after a long week, and today being another long travel day. Until the next episode!

Super honored to have opened up (as Mid Century Modern ) and played a support role in helping Kassa Overall take the WIN for last month’s 2024 Golden Ear Award in the category of NW Concert of the Year!

The concert was the final stop in a yearlong international run, ending back to where it all started, Seattle, Washington; the historic Washington Hall to be specific!

The event, presented by 206 Zulu, took place on November 17 as part of Visit Seattle’s Cloudbreak Festival.

Biggup and much love to Kassa who’s absolutely crushing it! We’re very much looking forward to the next project, and you can def count on MCM to hold you down!

Also, deep gratitude and much respects to Earshot Jazz for being such a longstanding pillar to the music community in the Pacific Northwest!

Kushstock was lit to a whole other level! And biggup to a true spittah Planet Asia!

So powerful to see West Coast Hip Hop show up in support of Madlib, one of the most prolific producers in Hip Hop! Mad love, all day from Lootpack, Wildchild, Tash and The Liks, Krondon, Strong Arm Steady, MED, Planet Asia, Alchemist, Jrocc, Rhetmattic, Beat Junkies, DJ Numark, Black Eye Peas, DJ Mona Lisa, Oh No, IllijahBeats, Robert Glasper and many more who were in the house! Funds raised went to support two Altadena based organizations- Rhythms of the Village and Village Playgarden who lost their store and school.
