I am truly fortunate for many things in my life and one major journey has been the construction of Mixtape Wednesdays along side Patrick Sweeney, Troy Farol, Junot Meneses & Herb Felina. What started as a non traditional locals driven Wednesday kick it spot for friends and fam has turned into an extension upon extensions of new family and supernatural brilliance that I would have never been blessed to encounter. This past Wednesday we had our 3 Year Anni and that shit was EUPHORIA IN THE CITY!! lol Almost like the previous week of Holiday madness where we reached capacity @ 11pm having to turn people away(Sorry to all our loved ones as we had no choice)...Mixtape has come along way and it's all because of the LOVE of you all...Below are some pics by the lovely Chrysantha Faye!! Thanx for all your help sweetheart...
PS: Come see us on a hump day!!

This Halloween, October 31, the boisterous party-rockin’ of De La Soul’s third Plug, Maseo, will be setting the dancefloor ablaze in the eerie depths of the Club Six basement. De La Soul just celebrated twenty years of Hip-Hop classics, packing the Fillmore to capacity just a few months back. Now, DJ extraordinaire and sometimes MC, Maseo returns to one of his favorite stomping grounds in San Francisco, Club 6, to rip a two-hour set of rambunctious party jams and the crem de la crem of classic, hip-hop, breaks and soul.
Support for Maseo includes local and international turntable star and DMC champ, DJ Shortkut of the Beat Junkies and Triple Threat DJs. Upstairs in Club Six’s white room, Jah-Yzer of the bay area’s champion reggae DJ crew, Jah-Warrior Shelter anchors the reggae lineup dropping hot lava jumpup riddims throughout the night.
Bay area femcee, Melina Jones will act as the mistress of ceremonies as the crowd’s favorites are crowned Halloween King and Queen of the party for most creative costume. Expect a soiree of ghouls, goblin and scantily clad vixens dropping round bottoms to bass bottoms, swilling lavish liquid libations and revealing eccentric Halloween alter-egos. Red Strip and Guinness Beers will be providing drink specials and DJs Serge and Nyce will be rounding out the DJ lineup.

In other events this weekend, I had the pleasure of taking Junior Reid to Boss nightclub for a special cameo appearance Fiday night. Special thanks to Zim and ABB Records, as Junior was cool as shit. Junior was recently in the studio with Swiss Beats and has new tracks with him, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Snoop, Cool & Dre. All are set to feature on his new Album "The Living Legend". Above is a snippet of the Lil Wayne track...
So this past week had to be one of the best of late...Starting with a gift from above as RAS KASS graced the Mixtape Family with his presence this past Wednesday! He was our cameo guest host last week courtesy of our Oh Dang Mag/ Medium Rare family, Arjay. By the way check out the store mediumraresf.com on 2387 Ocean Ave. KASSY is not only a real game spitter on the Mic, but can also carry on some in depth game session convo as he held court outside(amongst some of the realest 415 shit talkers)...discussing hip hop life, from his beef with Game to Jay Z verses Nas opinions from NY to Cali!! With the Mic in one hand and a drink in the other...the dude was enjoyin himself. I haven't experienced such realness from an artist at an event(maybe in the VIP)...So Special shout out to him once again!! That unreleased Van Gough album is still one of my all time Favs!!
Attended the Kev Choice Ensemble Tribute for "A Tribe Called Quest" the other night. The show was crazy!!! So much energy in the performers, and all the people involved. The legendary Phife Dawg made an appearance, and blessed the crowd with his lyrical skills for a couple tracks. The full band was jamming all night long to a packed house, with many other special guests hopping on a stage for a chance to pay their dues. All in all the show was great. Visuals by the Illuminati lit the place up, and gave the Down Low a killer feel. Defiantly look forward to future shows here, as well as whats in store for Kev Choice Ensemble... Make sure to vote for them in the SF WEEKLY Music Awards, ending Oct. 14th.
SOUL SLAM centers around a battle between two of the most eclectic and innovative artists to date, Michael Jackson and Prince! From the inception of this concept back in 1999 the response for SOUL SLAM has been enormous. This event turns into a DJ battle for supremacy over the dance floor.
