Last week’s show was pretty fun

News March 17th, 2009

Tuned in recently?

Here’s last night’s episode.

The crunchiness only persists at the beginning. Pretend like you’re in the old cassette days.

SoulCeez & Ill Vibe @ The Loft, pt. 1

Mixes October 15th, 2008

Do not be alarmed, Jahsonic only looks like this because he’s feeling it.

The evening before Phonte tore it down at INAS, we had a little friends and family gathering to welcome him to DC.

Statik rolled down from Philly to kick it so we ran a three-man rotation.

Enjoy. More of these coming later in the week.
