Dare I sound so cliche, but….THIS IS 51!!! Another revolution around EL SOL. Another blessing to continue on “This Thing Called Life.” 💜💜💜 Is this the face of a cat that just passed the half-a-century milestone?!? The outpouring of LOVE thus far today & all-day yesterday on TWITCH spoke volumes; Loud & Crystal Clear. Tear inducing is a vast understatement. Was someone cutting onions?!? 😢 Appreciate all my DJ brethren & sistren that rocked to aid in ushering in this new earth day for me. Even through the many loops & hurdles, y’all were there for me. Speaking of being present…the SUPA MOD SQUAD & “Berry Bunch.” Man! No words would suffice. ♥️ From 9am until I closed it out with “Really Love” at Midnight. Locked in.
Doing what you love & loving what you do is clearly the recipe for an enriched existence. Spreading joy through musical notes doesn’t hurt either:) I’m going to continue on this path of knowledge of self. Seems to be the secret sauce to happiness. I know mi madre Faye Levy is shining on me from celestials. Asking me to run back “Got To Be Real” (her jam) one mo gin! I do this for you, Momma! Thank you filling the abode w/ such a diverse spectrum of musica. I am because of you. This year is already looking vanglorious! Let’s keep this trend on the PUSH-PUSH! Ascend! ♥️💜♥️🚀

Hold up?!? Jimmy is turning 51 next week?!? Mercy!!!! (Ego Trip) Fiddy what?!? I don’t feel a day over 37! 🤣🤣🤣 Another year of celebrating (yet another) revolution around el sol one day before (Next Wednesday-5/15 9am-9pm EST) my actual birth date of 5/16/73. It’s going to be a Lovely Day, indeed. 12-Hours of top-notch selections live on TWITCH from myself + a gang of my friends. Reminds me: I better start asking said friends to rock. 🤣🤣🤣 Better late?!? Perhaps I’ll even don the headphones after 9pm (as to not p**s off my neighbors) & ring in my new year w/ the famalam until 12:01. The energy will dictate the movements, y’all.
The “Zoom Room” will be open for all those that dare show their face. I may even illicit a roast or two from those that know me and my MANY idiosyncrasies. I got roasted at 45, so I ain’t neva scurred. Pre-recorded messages from my peers & supa mod squad alike. A recap of the last year in musical form. & the illest duo to share a bday week with…Raphael Saadiq & Stevie Wonder. Their (respective) catalogs alone take up a huge chunk of the elongated pro-grum. Get that Vindaloo on deck! Going to need plenty of sustenance & engagement to keep me going for the length. Feel free to include all celebratory well-wishes below. (prematurely) It’s TAUREAN season!!! Act accordingly. ♥️🚀

One week from today I turn 51. That’s wild to me! It was crazy enough to state that I was 50! Lord! Stay tuned for the “You Don’t Look 51!” comments aplenty. 🤣 Blessing to make it half-a-century + 🙏🏼 Clearly the music keeps one youthful.

It’s great to see old friends, albeit this meeting was not under the best circumstances. This afternoon I was honored with handling the music for Pittsburgh’s very own legendary Mel-Man’s pops Lucky’s repast. Those in the TWITCH world may know him as Cuppy Johnson. But around these parts he is simply royalty. Any (post-Chronic) Dr. Dre beats w/ hard snares that’s Mel, Budda, or Sneed on the beats. The holy Pittsburgh trinity. This is sadly the second time I’ve gotten to catch-up w/ Mel in the span of the last year, as I played the repast for Budda’s parents back in July & Mel made the journey out to support his friend. Prior to that it had been 20+ years since we’ve linked up. Far too long. Far too amazing & humble cat. Today was a beautiful gathering of the three Fs. Friends, Family, and Food. The playlist was pretty dope, too. 🤣 Rest In Eternal Power, “Lucky.” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Unexpected ATL digging score of the week. I’ve never stumbled upon Doug Carn’s pre-Black Jazz 1969 debut long player on Savoy in the wild, but lo & behold there it is . Super salute to brother Daryl for bringing the goodness to L5 for as long as I can remember (& downtown soon come). Lots of new heat in the third space at Moods. Even after RSD came and went. 🔥🔥🔥

Great to break bread w/ the legendary while in Atlanta for a short spell. Between him, & Steve…the convo around the lunch table was hilarious this afternoon!

It’s pretty clear that got the Ralph memo for the day. It’s a daily operation for a couple of “Lo-Life.” Order within mass disorder at the warehouse. Window to the wall likkle records. Paradise.

These two dudes are responsible for the vast majority of my personal (at the crib) playlist over the span of the last decade plus. Always incredible output & last night they took their joint works (plus respective solo material) to the live stage in our fair city. Amazing night w/ a stellar lineup of musicians. The aforementioned + , on lush vocals on bass & our very own on the sticks. Thank you Pittsburgh for repping & bringing that energy throughout. ♥️♥️♥️ I rocked an almost exclusivey house to set things off before they hit the stage (w/ a few Brazilian numbers for good measure). Refreshing is an understatement.

Save the height (or lack thereof) jokes, please 🤣

BLACKOUT was just that! Beyond fabulous! You did it again ! 💜🙌🏼 Everyone looked AMAZING & the talent was top-notch. Always an honor to rock such a superbly curated event.

It’s always super fun to take two creations & mesh them into one on the spot. I never tire of hearing “Soul II Stro” or “Otis Elliot”, respectively. Masterpieces in their own right that go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Thank you to the superstar brother for having me rock in his shop this past Saturday afternoon. Was a madhouse at Ponce!

Promise I’m not high! (still yet to puff after almost 51 years on this planet.) That’s just my overall look after rocking the “blackout” in Pittsburgh the night prior & then jumping on a flight to the ATL in the morning. Made an impromptu spot to check out my brother ’s shop in Ponce City Market . Super dope shop! Oh, and my brother-brother (who I’m slightly taller than 🤣) . Always appreciate the hospitality & Spindrift. 🤣

As Frankie Valli once said “Oh What A Night!…or was it Diamond Shell? 🤣 ATLANTA! Y’all repped…hardbody! & on a Sunday night?!? It was all joy from the minute I stepped into (co-owned by a Pittsburgher, incidentally). So many familiar faces & a slew of new ones. Super salute to all of my (funky) peers that absolutely murked it all evening long. Literally from doors at 6pm to wrap at 1am. , , , , , , , & the chief curator extraordinaire for throwing a stellar event of nothing . Have to shout the brother for grabbing the mic while I was rocking to aid w/ the energy. & the energy was to the ceiling…all night! Can’t wait to slide back through for another installment. 🙌🏼🙏🏼✊🏼

Happy 412 Day!!! That’s our area code here in Pittsburgh for all of those unfamiliar. 724 we love y’all but…NAW. 🤣 & you know I had to pull a few from my non-alphabetized (😫) stacks. So this is by no means a full list of the wealth of musical talent we’ve birthed over the years in the Burgh. Just a few records that were at an arms reach this morning to present to you. Mary Lou Williams, Chaz, Earl “Fatha” Hines, George Benson, Frank Cunimondo, The Silhouettes, Fred Rogers, Johnny Costa, Stanley Turrentine, Art Blakey, Ahmad Jamal, Phyllis Hyman, Betty Davis, The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (OST), Rev. James T. Johnson Mass Gospel Choir, , Nathan Davis Westinghouse Bulldogs Band, Calvin Stemley, Mac Miller, Smash Money, , Mel-Man, DJ Double K, , ,The Headliners, Larry McGee. & I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. Going in today at 9am (EST) with all of the titles displayed + myriad more. You know the place!

ATLANTA! This Sunday (4/14) at I get to rock w/ the cats pictured here + 7 other amazing sound providers. Flying down on Saturday w/ a bag of both likkle and 12-inch rekkids. I think cats have a good idea who the special guest is a this juncture. 😏
Hope to see my 404 folks out in the place to be. Going to be equally amazing to just cool out w/ my peers for the evening, too. I don’t get to do that often enough. 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

Waking up at the break of dawn this past Tuesday morning to make the 30-minute trek out to South Fayette High School was well worth it. Aided my brother-brother w/ his excellent keynote present (using Hip-Hop as a metaphor for life) to set off the 4th Annual ‘Uncommon Conference.’ even pulled out at an old verse of mine from the nineties when I signed to his label Fat Crayon Records, to properly introduce me. Fun fact: I used to rhyme:) Speaking of emceeing…we have the students (& faculty) engage in an impromptu MC battle. & we (also) bring up two students to battle on the decks & coin them official “DJ monikers” in the process. A full-on b-boy/girl battle takes place, too. The fourth element (Graffiti) is represented by the collective “tagging” the event on social media. Super rewarding to & be part of a such an enriching program.
Until next year! 🙌🏼
