Evidence, Alchemist, Little Brother & Darien Brockington
I dunno what it is, but lately I have been at the "right place at the right time". Last night on my way to the show, I decided to take a few shots of the tour bus with my broken camera. As I was doing so, Evidence (Dilated Peoples) got off the bus to invite me inside to meet The Alchemist. "HOLY SH*T, I was in presence of a hip hop's living legends!!!" Wow, I was as wide eyed as an 8 year old girl. Thanx, keep it movin fellas.

Dallas Dj's dedication
We're in the middle of November, fittingly the month between Fall and Winter, a time of transition, a time of change and a time to prepare for the New Year. Last year during this time, I was in preparation of the launch of Kiddrae254. I was wide eyed and eager with a purchase of a brand new camera. A few weeks ago I dropped my camera for the 1000th time, ironically shaking the hand of the same very person that encouraged me to continue taking random photos.... Damn you Sara!
So with the New Year looming and another chapter to write I will be getting my bigger and better camera. Hell, I may even scrap this whole site and start over.... who knows. But for now thanks for visiting my blog, I appreciate the comments and support.
Okay, so what now? Well I have thousands, no millions of photos that I have yet to post. So this post is dedicated to the REAL Dallas dj's. Not those loud mouth mixtape fags but the dj's who sacrifice their weekend just make our's better.
I started djing in high school and have recently given it up to focus on my career and other hobbies and lemme tell you, ITS HARD WORK! Most people seem to think they just cue up a record and boom thats that. Beat matching and mixing and digging and making sure the crowd is happy....damn ITS HARD WORK. So next time your out, take time to show love to your local dj's. Keep it movin' fellas I appreciate what you do for us.
Peace

Losing my mind at SDA
I haven't posted in awhile so I figured I would post about why I haven't posted in awhile. Does that make sense? Anyway, this is where I spend 90% of my life now-a-days...

Fucking Tired, On my way home
It was a very long, tiring yet successful trip. By the last day I didn't even wanna pick up my damn camera.
However, during a 2 hour layover in Phoenix I noticed an interesting couple.

It's a graphic life - Kiser
This post is dedicated to a friend of mine Haydar Barnes, designer/founder of Kiser. The KISER line is based on the concept of "Hunt Beauty." Hunt Beauty is defined as the pursuit of truth and originality. Kiser has worked with Chloe, DJ A-Trak , HBO, The Brooklyn Circus and Timberland among others.

rock the bells - P. Monch, Supernatural, Nas, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Illmortal Technique and WU-TANG!!! WU-TANG!!! WU-TANG!!!
I'm far from being an old timer, but the saying, "There is noting better than the good old days" sounds more and more true everyday. Beyond every memory of Jordan and Pippen controlling the hardwood. Or poppin' in classics like "Beat Street" or "Juice" in the VHS, or going bananas over the latest Nike product, there was always something else entrenched in my life: music.
There was Biggie, Nas, and occasionally Pink Floyd, but then there was The Wu. Almost everyone in our generation will remember The Wu-Tang Clan. There are just those certain things that stick with you. With ball it could have been that dude MJ or with your first crush in the 4th grade (oh Erica Venor, where art thee????), but with music, at least for me, it was those grimmy brothas from S.I.N.Y.
If I were to die tomorrow I can now say I can die a happy man. From seeing John Elway, Bo Jackson, Mike Jordan, Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds surpassing homerun history, the Bronx Bombers, the Fighting Irish and now the Wu. Seeing them all live in flesh now completes my childhood check list of my role model influences. Wow.

2007 magic/pool/project NBA All-Star Weekend, Las Vegas
Well it's about that time again for my bi-annual Las Vegas trip to sweat my ass off at the Magic/Pool/Project trading apparel shows. These pics were from this past February and I had a different camera at the time so they really kinda suck. Regardless the trip was a beast and I will heading back at the end of this month. The next round will be diesel, I promise!
