Ro is family, straight up & down. Burn Rubber is family 1000%. What up Rick!!! SLAP!

Peep Ro’s remake of Hov’s “Empire State of Mind”— and he gave him a run for his money!!!

and if you missed it, here is a joint I produced off of Ro’s “Oh Shit” project featuring Ro, Bun B, Curtains and Big Sean.

Nike put together a very cool dinner party for their top retailers which included the incomparable and legendary DJ Premier providing the tunes. On a sad note, Premo was supposed to be joined by the late great DJ AM for this event and wore a tee shirt which featured a photo of them together in his honor.

It was amazing to finally see Premo doing his thing live and meeting him was a real highlight.

Great music, atmosphere and food (ok… the food was a little weird). Thanks Nike

Before the first day of the Magic / Project / Capsule run in Vegas, I charged the ol’ battery with my good friend Rick Williams co-owner of the Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique that runs the “Motor City”. I learned a few things that morning.

1. Rick knows what is “ill” and what is not “ill” the same way I know when Chedda is violently drunk (meaning ready to beat an innocent bystander’s face open in the club because he could of sworn he was eyeing him from the DJ booth. He was the DJ and was just trying to play records Chedd.)

2. He like grape jelly on his eggs.

3. As being a prescription eyeglass wearer myself on the constant hunt for the flyest frames, Rick was one step ahead of me with the Fragment designed Uniform Experiment frames. Fucking dope.

4. Detroit dudes don’t ever travel alone. Shouts to Ro Spit and the goons… “BA got caught with….?”

Side note: be careful when your in Pontiac, Michigan. Nuff said.

We are back in this muthafucker with the 3rd installment (but it’s called 004!) of the Butcher’s Block podcast.

This time we thought we’d spice it up a bit with a show dedicated to Queens Hip-Hop. You know, the borough of Queens, where Prince Akeem thought he would find his bride. Word to King Jaffe Joffer.

**Disclaimer – This is part one of the Queens episode. Everyone is not featured meaning the next show will be iller than this!!
