Over the weekend I went to see PJ and Dawn perform. It was a good time, I am thoroughly impressed with Dawn’s development as an artist. She really has the it factor and her stage presence was incredible. On top of that she sang her ass off. And of course PJ showed up like he always does. And even though he was struggling with the flu, he still gave 110% and killed his performance. And big up to Ben Deignan. He did a great job as the opening act. It was good just to relax, hear some good music and have a jack and coke. Show was dope.

Big ups to the homie Chris over at Union. This is way too dope and this is a sure shot sign that he’s made it!!!! Congrats on the success of the store doc.

If the success of Union Los Angeles wasn’t enough proof that founder/style muse  had made it big, then perhaps Fashion Figure Inc.‘s pocket-sized rendition will do the trick. Rocking some goods from his larger twin’s store, including a U.S. Alteration beanie, a Junya Watanabe MAN jacket, a Carhartt bag, and even Sophnet x Pendleton scarf and iPhone, this toy version is definitely a chip off the ol’ block. You can pick up this vinyl figurine yourself later this month directly from UNION.

Dopeness: ME x @Akai_Pro MPC Renaissance

I have had the honor of being a part of the development of the new MPC. Being that I have made 85% of my hits using an MPC (60II, 4K, 3K, and 2500), I so glad that Green Lantern put me down with this. Working closely with Daniel Gill, Charles Dixon, and the legendary Sean C. (from the production duo Sean C. and LV) this new MPC defies all of the odds. What they have done is combined the legendary use and mechanisms of the MPC 3000 (my favorite) with the thought process of today’s producer. The hardware vs. software concept works seamless in this new MPC. And it reads all of your old .snd, .prg, .aif files and it comes with some of the most bold sounds and synths I have ever heard. Not to mention you can use it stand alone or along side your favorite programs (FL, Logic Pro, Pro Tools; etc.). I am just so excited about this new product. Just the few times that I have sequenced on it, I felt my creativity level go up by leaps and bounds. This product will be released sometime in the summer. I am going on record to say that this is going to revolutionize music like the original MPC did back in the ’80s.
