Trying to catch up...Berlin, Koln and Leipzig...

So it’s been almost 2 weeks since my last blog post. To say that it’s been difficult to put my experiences into words would be a vast understatement. I’ve rocked some pretty ridiculous shows and met even more amazing individuals all united by their love for music, art and independent culture.

The shows in Berlin and Koln were bananas! Both spots held down by similar stalwarts and purveyors of Hip Hop: LeBob in Berlin and DJ Cem in Koln. By far, Beatevolution Wednesdays at Cassiopeia and Beatpacker Thursdays at Subway 627 are two of the dopest Hip Hop parties that I’ve ever been to, let alone rocked.




A special thanks goes out to DJ Cem for putting Lokey and me up for almost 4 full days. I tell you what, trips like this would not be possible were it not for the kindness and hospitality of cats like Cem. Excellent host and an even better DJ, Cem’s generosity of spirit is known far and wide (I almost didn’t make the show, but at the strong encouragement of pretty much everybody I talked to in Berlin I HAD to make the trip…thank God I did!).






By last Wednesday Voltron had united (i.e., Rabbi D and Hired Gun were both in Berlin and the 3rd Party was in full-effect). J-Live and Trumastr arrived Thursday morning and we all made the 1 hour long train ride to Leipzig together. The venue, Conne Island, was dope, the show was great, but the catering might have been the best part…Ha! Ha! I guess NYC promoters have me use to begging for scraps, waiting for a late start and playing for a half-filled room because of ineptitude…or gratitude…things that make you go hmmmm...PS big ups to Andre from Conne Island and Roland from Velocity Sounds for holding us down. You're always welcome in NYC!







Well I’d continue, but the next stop was Hip Hop Kemp in Hradec Kralove, CZ…it's gonna take me a minute or two to process it all...Stay tuned for the update soon...
