>R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron

>

I was lucky to “inherent” this record way back when I first started collecting. I was hooked on the 13 minute version of “The Bottle” but of all the jams on this record, the title track is in steady rotation whenever I play out. I’m gonna miss passing Gil on the street and giving him a nod of respect as he sauntered by with knowing near imperceptible smile. Was also lucky to see him at Central Park Summerstage last summer. He had a voice that resonated in your heart and your soul.

>Latest Acquisition: Puma Suedes

>Was biding my time like the fiend I am to cop these for a nice discount…as of today Puma is having 30% off sale through the holiday weekend. Now if I could just get Clyde to autograph mine…

>Evil D and Max Glazer at Sutra

>

Evil D killed it with 90’s hip-hop and donwstairs Max Glazer schooled me with this joint while rocking my 2’12” stickers on his serato records!

>Mac Miller "Love Lost"

>

Pittsburgh’s other rapper has been gettin’ a lot of shine and Don Volcano has not given his stamp of approval yet but this beat is dope and worth a listen…

>Ricky Powell’s Newest Import

>The Rickster brought some heat (Purple and Black Suedes) back from Japan and just had to bumrush me at work with a ragtag crew at 4am.

>Qool Marv and Dhundee at 5ninth

>

Philly truth and soul duo killed it at 5ninth last night. Marv played a vinyl only set breaking out some b-sides remixes and instrumentals(Queen Latifah’s “How Do I Love Thee”).

>Keith Mansfield "Morning Broadway"

>

First to tell me who sampled this without having to look it up (honor code applies) gets a free 2’12” tee!
