Don’t be mad at me. I can explain.

You see, I’ve just been holding out because I thought you wouldn’t be satisfied without any crazy dope pictures from a show or some hilarious video from the road or anything like that.

I’m going to be honest.

I don’t have any of that for you. But I can give you a rundown of what’s happened since I last posted.

Day 2 in New York was a blast. G-Eazy, Cobo and I hit up Brooklyn to promo while the rest of the crew went to the Lower East Side (i think). We plastered most of the subways with G-Eazy stickers, along with just about every traffic light, stop sign, news stand in our path. We then met up with the lovely Erika Flowers, Elleni Giorgis and Dayaamayi Kurimella in Central Park for some photos and then dinner.

That night we crashed in New Jersey at one of Adam’s friend’s house which was beautiful before heading up to Providence, Rhode Island.

We played a great show at AS220 in the heart of Providence with my good friend and Funk.Soul.Family member Leland Baker and his friend Ben on sax. We shared the stage with Symmetry, a local MC who has toured with a bunch of really legit people, like Del Tha Funky Homosapien.

When we got back to Leland’s spot, we were greeted by the best food of the tour. Chicken, rice, potatoes and greens all home cooked for us by his mother, who was kind enough to let us stay for two nights in their home.

The second day in Providence was all about hitting the beach, which, aside from a few dweeb-ass life guards, was nothing but a good time. A well needed day of fun and relaxation.

The next day we dropped off Cobo at the train station and started our epic drive to Chicago. We stopped somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania and found a campground. We built a fire, had some hotdogs, smores and perhaps a few beverages and then headed to bed.

Today we woke up at the campground and got in the car at about 8:30 and headed to Cleveland, where we took an hour to cover a large portion of downtown with flyers and stickers before we got back in the car and headed to Chi-town.

We just got here, and I’m exhausted, so that’s all I’m giving you guys for now.

Catch you later

New York, New York!

I can’t say enough about how excited I am to be here in NYC. I’ve wanted to come here for years and its everything I could’ve imagined and more. It/s the most ballin’ city ever. Period. Everything is like Super Sized. It’s incredible. We pulled in here last night after we stopped in Philly to drop off Tyler Yee at the airport and smash on some world famous cheesesteaks. We’re staying at DJ Cobo’s spot on 33rd Street near 3rd Ave, with the Empire State Building, Times Square and Bryant Park all within walking distance. It’s so ill.

We  mostly just kicked it last night, walked around and saw some dope spots around the neighborhood, but today we really got on our grind. Me, G, Cobo and Patrick started off the day by taking the 6 train to Soho, scoping out the nicest sneaker shops, posting stickers and handing out flyers in one of the flyest neighborhoods I’ve ever seen.

After Soho we met up with my good friends Jonny Salud and Rachel Brotman at Union Square and got some food and walked around some more, stickering and whatnot. We stopped by Rachel’s place for our first New York rooftop experience. It was amazing.

After parting ways with Rachel, Cobo, Jonny, Patrick, G and I took the 1 train to Columbus Circle at the Southwest corner of Central Park. We split up from there and G and I walked all the way to 81st and Broadway to surprise the lovely Ms. Erika Flowers at her job at Starbucks. She hooked us up with some huge ass venti Frappucinos and we were off again to the grind.

We stickered the shit out of Broadway and eventually made our way to 73rd and Central Park West where we met up with my friend Pen, who joined us on the most epic sticker session this world has ever seen. We walked back through Times Square, Bryant Park and down 5th Ave, damn near hitting every traffic light, mailbox and lightpost before we ended up back at Cobo’s spot.

It’s been a long ass, satisfying day on the grind.

Here are some pictures from our rooftop session at Rachel’s spot near the Village:

After a day off of grindin in North Carolina, we arrived in our nation’s capital, Washington DC. We picked up DJ Cobo and headed to the venue, Bohemian Cavern. Its this crazy jazz club that literally looks like the inside of a cave, its really legit. Once we got there, we found out that QUESTLOVE would be dj-ing after our set! How ill is that? The show was great, lots of love from the fans.

We’re in Frederick, MD today for a big ass cookout party at DJ Carnage’s place, then off to Philly tomorrow and NYC after that!

Later
