What you missed
FRESHLY back from the fresh Peanut Butter and Jelly Party put on by Syntax and Illect recordings. I think I’m just going to list off the things you missed. There was too much happening to put it in a succinct post. To start it off, check out this video from the event:
You can see Me and Bobby pretty well during Braille and Redcloud’s sets (at the end of the video). What you will not see on the video is sintax.the.terrific dropping all new material (minus one track that was on a Sphere Podcast) from the next DS5 record. All I have to say is: freshness. I got a chance to talk to sintax and he said they were still shopping for a distributor so no word on when it will drop. Same goes with the music video from the album. Leaks are starting to pop up on the internet but I say let the crew get their hype when their record drops and wait for an official release.
At the PBJP you would also have seen Odd Thomas RIP the microphone. He was perhaps the best single performance. Maybe his sound just worked best in the cramped gym (rain location) but his set was intense. I need to pick up some of his work stat.
Fabled Deliciousness
To those who frequent the Sphere, you know what this is. It was delicious.
You also missed the Scribbling Idiots shred their set. Every video I’ve seen of them has some kind of mic issues. At the PBJP it was 4 mics for 5 MCs. No sweat, they worked it out and brought the back and forth play that was on a professional level. I would have liked to see a longer set from the SI crew, but with only 3 hours and 8 artists to work in I can understand. I’ll just have to catch them again sometime.
You also missed Josh, aka Plastic. Dope guy. Gave me a cookie and asked me to punch Patrick in the stomach.
You also missed MuzeOne, Propoganda, and Kaboose on the mics. Dope collab of Kaboose and MaxOne on Build It Up. Strong beats and raps were brought.
You also missed Braille. You missed Keep On. You missed balancing on one foot and collabs with Theory Hazit. Plus a new track coming up on his next joint with Syntax. Plus about a million copies of CloudNinteen.
You also missed Redcloud freestyling for at least as long as his prepared set. He rocked a good set of tracks, from Good Will Chopping to Tapitio. Throw in the Kaboose collab on Intercontinental Grand Dragons. Very fast. Very talented.
You also missed PB & J and milk served in plastic champagne glasses.
You also missed $5 Illect recordings CDs.
You also missed CloudNinteen.
You also missed Kballa and ThaRealNC from the sphere boards. Kballa ended up staying at the same hotel we did.
You missed Nashville, a 10 hour drive filled with what I think is a pretty good introduction to the underground Christian Hip Hop scene, but you’d have to ask BobbyO about that, RAIN/SUNAMIS, the Marks sisters, Rockstar energy drinks, a comfy Super 8 motel bed and free wifi. Also many SNL references and green screens. Also Spoken Nerd offering his house for me to stay in for the night.
To not miss out on this, and more, next time stay tuned to HRFTM for more central east coast opportunities to get your HHH on. Peace.
