MANiFESTO & Afterparty @ CiRCA w/ DJ PREMIER vs. PETE ROCK

Mannnnn…. I love the city of Toronto! Yesterday was a true example of how ill this city is.. MANIFESTO is a huge festival that takes place annually in Toronto, bringing together a lot of dope talent from the city.  For full details visit http://www.themanifesto.ca

I got there at about 230 pm, and DJ’d performances for my peoples Rich Kidd & Junia T, as well as my man Famous, who brought out Mayhem & Blake Carrington as well.

I couldn’t stay for performances from K-OS, Rascalz, etc. as I had to leave early to go hold down the opening set @ CiRCA with the homie Starting From Scratch.. The Manifesto Afterparty featured, for the 2nd time ever, a head to head set by two of the greatest producers of all time.. DJ Premier vs. Pete Rock!

Shouts to EVERYONE in the spot.. The place was RAMMED.. I’ve never seen CiRCA that busy.. Manifesto really did a good job putting everything together.. Big up Jesse, Che, and everyone else working on the project.

Till next time..

It’s Been A Busy Week.. Scratchlab, Filmfest, Guelph, Guv, D’Luxe.. Etc..

Been a while since I’ve posted anything.. Been so damn busy, I’ve hardly had time to check email.  I feel like if I’m not either behind the wheel driving somewhere, on my blackberry, dj’ing somewhere, eating or sleeping, I am on the computer.  I haven’t even caught up with neighbourhood friends I grew up with since I’ve come back and time continues to fly by.. I cannot wait to leave and take a vacation to go visit my girl in Grenada..

Until then, things continue to progress forward at a rate that I am trying to play catch up with.. It almost feels as though I am in an ongoing & never ending state of consciousness.. Sleep has become scarce, highly valued and much appreciated.

Wednesday, I was teaching private lessons & the final class of my Beginner Course at Scratchlab (http://www.scratchlab.ca) from 3-8:30 pm.. Congrats to my class.. You all learnt how to count bars & beatmatch a lot faster than I did..! Hope to see you in the Intermediate 1 course.. Straight after that, I was off to DJ a Film Festival event at Ultra Supperclub..  Despite all the bougie suits & movie producers in the spot, it was actually a refreshing experience..!  Getting to play Rolling Stones & The Beatles and have people know the words and sing along was a nice change..

Thursday was another full day.. Woke up & drove to Universal Urban’s offices to pick up promotional material for Kardinall Offishall’s new LP NOT 4 SALE.. Then drove to Guelph, where we did Kardi’s release party inside my Thursday Night residency (Entourage Thursdays inside Van Gogh’s Ear 2nd Floor). Shouts to everyone who holds me down out there!

Friday, I was at Guvernment for DREAM Fridays, it was my first time there since the launch and it was alright.. The mixer was broken which sucked (edit: all club’s need a RANE or PIONEER, sorry Allen & Heath, but you guys just aren’t cutting it).  I will not be back there till after October 10th..

Saturday was a long day.. Met with Rockstar Energy Drink at 1 pm.. Drove to Guelph at 3pm.. Had the launch event for another one of my companies, FroshPlus (http://www.froshplus.com), which works with Corporate Brands looking to target the 17-21 first year students across Canadian Campuses.. After managing that, I had to drive to Toronto, back to The Guvernment for 12am, where I headlined my Saturday Night Residency inside D’Luxe Lounge from 1230-330am.

Needless to say, I caught up on sleep today.. Waking up at 5pm, planning the following week, and taking in Episode 2 of The 5th Season of ENTOURAGE on HBO.. It is now 4 am and I am getting around to updating the site/blog, after having spent a few hours organizing some classic rock..

The MANIFESTO! is this weekend.. Huge Festival, bringing not only the city’s hip hop community, but rather the entire Toronto Community together in a series of unique events and initiatives.. Check http://www.themanifesto.ca for details..!

I will also be opening their Closing Party this Sunday, Sept 21 @ CiRCA, with DJ PREMIER vs. PETE ROCK!
Crazyness.. History in the making.. I opened for Pete Rock @ State Theatre last summer.. but never got to stay for his set as I had to leave and play another spot.. Really looking forward to taking this in after my set.. I will be on from 9:30 pm - 11:00 pm, then Starting From Scratch & then the heavyweights battle it out..

Also, the Redman & Method Man tour will be coming up the following week inside The Koolhaus which I will be opening alongside TONA & JD Era. Should be a good show.. Toronto has sold over 600 tickets already.

For my R&B/SOUL lovers, Robin Thicke will be inside The Koolhaus October 6th, which is a Monday. I won’t be playing, but I will be re-releasing my PINK TAPE (http://www.djwristpect.com/ThePinkTape) and handing out 500 copies.

Also, on Sunday, October 29th I will be opening The Little Brother Show & finally releasing Bridging The Gap - Toronto to North Carolina…

Until next time,
Peace.
