A.H.J. @ Mexicali

When I heard that Albert Hammond Jr. was going to perform at Mexicali Live which is 5 minutes away from my house, I jumped at the chance to get tickets. I went with my friend Brett and linked up with my old friend Paul and his friend. I know this is a hip hop blog, but you have to make exceptions sometimes. I'm a huge Strokes fan and love AHJ and the Yours to Keep album by Hammond Jr. GFC is one of my favorite songs to listen to and I could not miss the opportunity to see a Strokes member perform so close to my house.  For lack of better wording, he fuckin killed it! He is ridiculously talented  and everyone should pick up his albums if you are a fan of great music. Here are some pics and vids I took from that show. PS. Setlist was different from the one shown.

La Coka Nostra and Jedi Mind Collabo

My boy O-rock invited me to this La Coka show. I was not aware of most of their songs, but they definitely put on a very good show starting with Jedi Mind Tricks and Vinny Paz's Sacrifice verse. Ill Bill was amazing as usual(It was his birthday too), Slaine was dope, but unfortunately no Everlast. I got a sick La Coka Masters shirt in the NY Rangers design. When the show ended, I was outside while waiting for my other boy and was talking about all the artists there and I look at 2 guys walking towards me and I say with a puzzled look, "and Chromeo?"....and P-thugg turns around and nods his head and says "yea!" lmao!!!

Garden of Sound

Been getting into a lot of rock lately, but here's a band I always respected since back in the days. Got some free tickets from work and they put on a good show. Loved the fact Chris was singling out the one weed smoker in the front. lmao!!! #smokeweedeveryday
