“Is the weather pretty? I’m plannin’ a trip to your city” (c) Median
Starting Saturday, July 12th in LA -> Catch me spinning for the almighty Tanya Morgan for 30 dates* across the US & Canada alongside Bay area rap legends Hieroglyphics and Seattle’s own Blue Scholars on the Freshly Dipped Tour. All the venues will be up on mine and TM’s myspace pages and we’re gonna be booking some afterparties as well, make sure you check us out when we come to your town. Also, I’ll have some hard copies of my mixtapes for sale (as well as a top secret project with one of the best MCs out that should be dropping like halfway through the tour) at the merch table with all the dope TM ish, now everyone who hit me up asking where to cop them can get copies and I can pay my rent back here in CO (what a win-win). Anyways, come out early and check us, Hiero is a deep crew so we’ll be on early (Donwill from TM says “think Lupe on the Glow In The Dark Tour”). Also, don’t miss updates of all the tour madness on TM’s Kyte channel, I’m sure I’ll be showing up on there some. 2008 is a MONSTER!!!
Wow, it’s crazy to type all that. Damn, I’ve never been to half these cities and going to them to rock shows with Hiero is a helluva way to do it. 10 years ago, seeing Hiero on the 3rd Eye Vision Tour was one of the craziest days of my young life (I was 16 and skipped school to drive to Boulder for the show after copping all 5 releases that dropped on the infamous “Super Tuesday“, which was the same day as the show on some crazy classic hip hop iddish). Cats who know me might have even seen me wearing the classic Hiero hoody from around that time even still, that ish is super comfy. Anyways, I’m GEEKED for the opportunity to join some legends on tour and DJ for one of the best new groups in hip hop at the same time.
*There’s 32 dates listed above. I won’t be at the 7/11 & 8/16 shows, sorry Pomona & Salt Lake. Also, a Vegas date at Beauty Bar was just added for 7/14.
Last but definitely not least, while I’m gone Sounds Supreme will be holding down things at the Solution with a variety of guest DJs including (the Radio Bums godfather) DJ Chonz, (the world famous) DJ Vajra & (youngest in charge since Special Ed) DJ Squirt and more, so all my Denver heads, you know where to be every Friday night. Denver’s “best hip hop night” (c) Westword will still be in effect and CRUSHING with dope special events, fly girls dancing to Camp Lo, Che Grand & De La Soul, one of Denver’s best rooftop patios and more every week. Don’t miss my last Friday, July 11th before the tour starts, it’s gonna be INSANE.

More good looks for Denver’s favorite hip hop night. Heavyweights Frank151 & Spitkicker recently shouted out the triumphant return of the Solution to Fridays on their sites in case you missed it. If you’re in Colorado and not coming out to the Solution on Fridays, here’s two more reasons to get your ass over to the “best hip hop night in Denver” (c) Westword on the Funky Buddha’s rooftop (776 Lincoln) every week.
Spitkicker says -> “X-Amount of Respect to Denver’s number one DJ/Hustler/Entrepreneur/Go-To-Guy, DJ Low Key. If you are ever in Denver on a Friday night be sure to check out The Solution held on the rooftop of the Funky Buddha. Went there after the Paid Dues show and the place was packed. Low Key and Sounds Supreme play some dope shit to both vibe and/or dance too. While I was there they had the spot on tilt. Everyone was jamming. Kidz in the Hall even came through and put on an impromptu performance.I highly recommend people check it out at least once in their lifetime.”
Frank151 says -> “DJ Low Key also hosted the Paid Dues Afterparty, as Akomplice brought the Kidz In The Hall to join fellow team members DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme to kick off their acclaimed night, The Solution, moving back to Fridays at the Funky Buddha with a Paid Dues Afterparty. Naledge & Double-O were supposed to only host, but got into the vibe real quick and performed a little set to a packed house to close out the night.”
Also, check out an album of pics from the Solution relaunch/Paid Dues Afterparty w/Kidz in the Hall in my myspace pics (courtesy of Rachel Crick) plus there’s more pics of the Solution’s AWESOME first 18 months over there too. With that said, big up everyone who’s been coming out and supporting the Solution w/DJ Low Key & Sounds Supreme and stay tuned for more CLASSIC Friday nights.

So there’s a dope new service called Kyte that lets you stream video from a phone into an online video player (and it’s embeddable on your blog/site/myspace page/etc, even though I can’t seem to get it to work on mine, click the image to check it out though) and Tanya Morgan & Pacific Division are the first acts I’ve seen using it. Stay tuned to TM’s Kyte player for all sorts of craziness on tour w/Hiero (coming to a town near you, check out the dates), live show footage & some DJ Low Key guest spots and don’t miss Pac Div’s player with some crazy clips as well (last week they had Ice-T breaking down his issues with Soulja Boy backstage at a show).

Big up each and everybody who’s been checking for me and supporting my projects since my days up in Boulder, and trust, “there’s so much more to come, we’ve only just begun” (c) Skateboard P.

If you’re keeping score then by now you probably know that
Von Pea,
Elucid,
Che Grand &
Spec Boogie recorded a super fresh track called
“Lessondary Nose” to promote a show they threw last month NYC (it’s had the innanet going nuts for the last few weeks). Well, Von Pea and Donwill (from
Tanya Morgan, who were headlining said show) ended up coming out here to Denver to kick it for my birthday party and due to Frontier Airlines’ HORRIBLE service (
check Don &
Von’s recaps) and the inefficientness of other airlines they ended up busting their ass & dropping mad cash to get home before rushing to get to their show in NYC as it was letting out early (CRUSHING I’m sure, sorry guys). Anyways, the rest of that show in NYC went well from what Che Grand tells me, Von & Don ended up playing a free show that weekend to make up for missing things everyone outside of NYC got this AWESOME song called “Lessondary Nose”. Check it out…
