ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Iman Omari

Look out for Iman Omari (producer/singer/songwriter)!!! He’s too dope! You can download his debut EP titled, “Energy” at IMANOMARIMUSIC.COM.


Ace MarCano – Shnap Back ‘91

My dude Ace MarCano, all the way from New York, wrote this sick ass song to my “S h n a p  B a c c” beat! It’s mandatory that you put this on repeat because his lyrics and delivery are the perfect compliment to my beat. He definitely left a lasting impression for me and I look forward to collaborating with him more in the future. Would do you think? Post a comment and let me know!


Dubb Blak – Homecomin

And we’re continuing on folks! Next to rock my “Shnap Bacc” beat is an up-and-coming spitter from Chicago, Dubb Blak! Here is his version entitled, “Homecomin”:

Slum Village & Dwele

The Legendary Slum Village and Dwele were rocking the Key Club this past Friday. You know I had to be in attendance! There was no way I was going to miss this show. I mean after all, one of my favorite albums of ALL-TIME is Fantastic Vol. 2! They had 3 opening acts, so it wasn’t too bad. I remember I went to a Hieroglyphics show, and they had like 7 opening acts (Gotdamn!). First to hit the stage was Swif, which stood for “Singing What I Feel”. Swif and his band were a good opening act, singing R&B and Blues. He also had one of his back-up singers playing the bass for him on one song. It’s always good to see a lady playing the bass guitar! Next up was local Los Angeles Artist, Jae Nice. He rocked the stage and had plenty of giveaways which included wristbands, shirts, and a snap back hat. His flow was nice over some really dope jazz-infused Hip Hop beats; some reminiscent of J Dilla and A Tribe Called Quest. I don’t remember what the 3rd act’s name was. All I remember is his band was called, The Next Episode Band. I’m mad I didn’t catch the rapper’s name because out of all the opening acts, I thought they were the dopest! If anyone from the show is reading this, please let me know who that guy was! Now, it was time for Slum Village to hit the stage! T3 and Illa J came out rocking!!! They played a lot of my favorites which included Selfish, Tainted, Get Dis Money, Won’t Do, Raise It Up, I Don’t Know, and more! I still can’t believe they did “Won’t Do”, which is my favorite Dilla song of ALL-TIME! Everyone got ultra-AMPed when that came on! Although T3 and Illa J completely rocked the stage, it saddens me that I’ll never get to see T3, Elzhi, Baatin, and Dilla on stage together. However, if I can catch another S.V. show with T3 and Illa J I’d definitely do it again. They brought high-energy! After ending their set with “Raise it up”, it was time for Dwele to hit the stage. He kind of winged his set, playing everything by ear (lol). He had this segment called, Dwele’s Pick-Up Lines. One of the pick up lines was “[Insert Woman's Name], that’s a nice shirt. Can I read it in braille?” (hilarious!) Overall, it was a great night. Everyone was entertaining and it was definitely worth $40. The whole thing lasted about 5 hours, and needless to say, I was ready to amputate my feet! I wish I had a better camera but, here are some pics and a vid of the nights festivities!

Pac Div – Rollin’

This song still stands as my favorite Pac Div song. It’s a tough decision considering how much great music they make. But, Rollin’ is my sheeeeeeeit!

Good Times, Bad Times

Blak Laz recorded “Good Times, Bad Times” last Friday in the studio with JQ Lamaj and I. The song is AMAZING! It’s a track that makes you want to reflect on all the ups and downs that you’ve been through. It’s a song of motivation, to keep pushing. It makes you want to appreciate all aspects of life, whether it’s good or bad, because what’s a good time if you don’t know what pain feels like?
