Shyne po...

Cant wait for shyne to get released, one of my favorite artists...

Colin in todays paper

"When young wannabe rock stars/rappers/songwriters try to create something new by making a bouillabaisse of all possible influences, the potential for poisonous stinkage is through the roof. Every once in a while, though, artists like New London's Flowers and Kain or breaking Canadian sensation Colin Munroe offer great hope for the whole concept of stylistic cut and paste.

Munroe is on a brief preparatory tour in anticipation of the January release of “Don't Think of Me as Less,” his debut major label release for Universal Motown. He appears Friday at Hanafin's Irish Pub in New London.

And Flowers and Kain open the show. This could be really great.

Munroe, with his yearning, Howie Day-style pop melodies and truly clever approach to urban music arrangement and production, has already garnered the endorsement of such folks as Kanye West, MTV, and Pitchfork Media. The songs are fresh and fun to listen to, whether on a dance floor or over headphones.

And we already know Flowers and Kain deserves similar national attention.

You can catch me in the city where the skinny....

This is gonna be a dope show tonight... Im excited to check out Mark Ronson. He's one of my favorite producers...See you there!

My drop tops in the parkin lot and i wanna take....

I know im a little late on posting this but when I was down at asylum/badboy last week with mike and sick we were lookin over the slim cd credits. This is a great look and made me feel real good about the progression we're making.. The firm boys in the buildin tonight! ooowww

Viva Las Vegas!

Decided Saturday night I was gonna slide out to Vegas for a couple days, get some stuff done, work from the macbook, chill out by the pool, drink mojitos, catch some shows etc etc you get the idea.. So I closed the bar Saturday at 2, ran to my apartment filled the louis bag with V necks, swimmin shorts, and sunblock and jumped in the charger. Hit a little traffic in the BX but nothin crazy enough to stop the wave.. So I run up in JFK get to gate 1 and hop on the plane.. Put the new Kanye on repeat, put my seatbelt on and start to zone out.. As we're in line to take off the plane starts moving then POW it sounds like we crash.. The TAIL FALLS OFF THE PLANE...wow, everyone starts spassin out, they tow us back to a gate, we evacuate the plane everyone back into the terminal and I retreat to the bar.. 6 hours later we take off.....VIIIIVA LAS VEGAS!


Checked out Chris Angels show... which was a mistake, what a snooze fest

Stayed at Treasure Island so the pool was extra wavey, it was around 80-85 everyday so I was prefect pool weather..Hit up this DOPE russian bar called RED SQUARE in Mandalay Bay

The bar is named after the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The decor inside was crazy, and the bar was made of ice.. They have a "vodka room" where if you buy a bottle you go into this special room, which is actually a cooler, and drink the bottle wearing a russian fur coat and hat because its 0 degrees inside..Big mistake lol I got TWISTED! and got a cold..

Ran into Chuck Zito, celebrity body guard/Actor/Former president of the hells angels...you might recognize him from the HBO series OZ.

But the highlight of this trip was watching Mr. Las Vegas aka Wayne Newton's show. Seeing him talk about the rat pack and sinatra from a round table drinking champagne 10 feet away made my year....
