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.” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Observe Jimmy in his natural habitat.
My “Happy Place”, if you will.
Digging in those hallowed crates .

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!
I think that Thai lemonade did have milk in it, Terry 🤣😫🤣
The smoothest cat I know BOTH west and east of the Mississippi..
Uncle .
Blessed us both verbally + sonically .
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.
The collective amount of 45s owned by the trio pictured here is sheer insanity. Lunch break building w/ the famalam + .
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 🤣
The family is on the way!!! Grab your last minute entry. It’s about to go down at
! I hit at 6. Show at 7:30. The Pittsburgh family on the sticks. + +
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!
Get-Get!
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. 🙌🏼🙏🏼✊🏼
!!!
Check me out tonight at ILounge Atlanta. I hit around 9pm. Going to be super dope!
Myself + Epik + Applejac + Kemit + Jaycee + J-Finesse + Eboni ATL + Sed The Saint + Stephan Ringer. ALL-VINYL!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
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! 🙌🏼
(slide 1) & future goodness (slide 2)
With some of the funkiest cats in the business that I get to rock with again next week (April 17) at . + + .
Act accordingly Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh! Let’s Dewitt!
When I do these tributes I have to do it PROPER! So I did 7.5 hours of Marvin (Gaye) today on TWITCH. Could have gone 24! 🔥🔥🔥 & the legendary Grandmaster Flash raided us!!!That was the supreme icing on the le cake. Marvin had JOINTS!
New content dropping mañana c/o .
Please|Stay|Tuned.
It’s ALL-Marvin today. Tune in!

Part One of “Selecta Goes Record Shopping” found me on my normal weekly record hurt in my fair city of 51 years, Pittsburgh, PA. Part Dos (of two mini-parts) has me at it again w/ my brother @moeknowsbest behind the camera, as he captures me digging in those darn crates…yet again This time in my second home of Atlanta, GA @djsilverknight’s newly opened rekkid establishment @vinylfiendsatl. A curated shop within the confines of Ponce. Listen to him trying to convince me to cop this Black Box LP. 🤣 I would have if I could name another tune aside from “Everybody, Everybody.” 🤣We chop it up with him a bit about the shop before heading to break bread w/ @djterryhunter, @itsjenoneill & @steveeblast. The convo around that table as we noshed (had to throw that in) was comical to say the least. 🤣🤣🤣 Then off to a few more spots in nearby L5, which will featured in episode 2.5 (soon come). We are going to continue to take this act on the road & feature mom & pop proprietors doing their respective things for the culture. Perhaps Cleveland next? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out? Which other cities should we hit as we traverse the states? Keep digging! ♥️🙌🏼♥️ 📸 @moeknowsbest 🎶 @buscrates

Man!! This new @realpeterock x @common joint is (as we used to say) BANANAS! & the fact that Com shouted out both our fair city of Pittsburgh + the Steelers + our beloved August Wilson is icing on the cake. Literally! AS we celebrate his born-day on the HiLL next month (April 27) for the annual August Wilson Block Party. I’ve been providing the musical selections for the block party for what seems like a decade thus far. Always an amazing event that brings folks out in droves to honor our a great man. Peace to my family at the @augustwilsonhouse. & can’t wait for this full Pete x Com long player to drop. This initial offering of the dynamic duo has me hype like it’s ‘93 again! #peterock #common #augustwilson #augustwilsonhouse #augustwilsonblockparty #hiphop visuals by @moeknowsbest
I’ve been searching for the @therealjyb “Sardines”on 45 (or 7-inch as the hip kids call them) for what seems like eons now. Super amp to have serendipitously stumbled upon a copy (albeit styrene) in the wild recently. Pulled it out for the first time @danteshifi this past weekend. Had to inject a little Chuck & Trouble Funk (respectfully) into the repertoire, as well. I just need @tallblackguyproductions to press up that “Prototype” refix on tiny rekkid to complete the cipher. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 #danteshifi #junkyardband #dcgogo
When the staff brings that energy from behind the bar! It’s intoxicating! Ooh wee!!! @danteshifi-Miami, Florida. My maiden voyage playing Miami w/ a little help from a DJ Shepdog reimagining of Dead Prez.on a likkle rekkid. Flying with a bag of 45s & a bag of twelves is quite the workout. Pittsburgh——->Miami. #danteshifi #djshepdog #deadprez
How surreal is it to be rocking the @djnickbike re-fix of “Award Tour” earlier in the set & then in walks @jarobiwhite (A Tribe Called Quest), his presence unannounced to you, to dap you up & let they’ve been outside for the last minutes & that “you’ve been killing it’ fam.” Pittsburgh…Philly? it’s all PA Iove! Speaking of…nothing but love to the entire @danteshifi staff. Watching them move gracefully behind the bar is a sight to be seen. @oddinhuman & @therealjtdonaldson for blessing us with sureshot after sureshot! My Shazam was getting a workout. Yes, DJs Shazam, too. 🤣 I was super intimated rocking a rotary for the first time. They were gracious enough to brake everything down & eased my mind a ton. Even if my initial record did skio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ All one can do is keep pressing & I proceeded to do just that for the next 2+ hours. Full recap to follow. Gratitude to @richmedina for the opportunity. You have something amazing going on in Wynwood!. & I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Pittsburgh familia for making 1200 mile trip to rock with me in the 305. + the TWITCH famalam for coming down to support from across the country. Had a MEGAblast (Maseo voice). #danteshifi #miami #jarobiwhite
I had to do this one over w/a @djspinna beat (a Sade Adu re-fix he just released that you can cop on BC) as my original video got flagged by the powers that be for using music by the artists involved in the festival. It.Never.Fails! In@any event…It’s about to be crazy this weekend in the Burgh! We are on the precipice of the first annual ‘Hooks & Phonics’ festival at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter. Curated my good brother @lingo.lando & featuring a stellar lineup of emcees + poets spanning the states. Headlined by @rapsody & @officialslumvillage. I always verbally foul up the ticket link (😫), but you know where to find them:) Make sure to grab a weekend pass to guarantee entry all weekend long. January 19th-21st w/ a special pre-festival edition of “Intermission’ happening on the 18th w/ myself & @kharimosley. Going to be one for the books! #hooksandphonicsfest #rapsody #slumvillage
PITTSBURGH! You’ve been forewarned! @mumufresh will be in our fair city this Saturday (11/18) @augustwilsonculturalcenter. A must see vocalist MC, spoken-word artist & all-around phenom. Don’t miss this chance to check her out in the lovely confines of the AWC. I’ll be on opening sonic selections + our own equally sensational @iamclarakent on opening vocals. You won’t be disappointed on ALL fronts! See you there. #mumufresh #maimounayouseff #mumufresh #pittsburghconcerts
I spoke to my friends at @serato during the @djxshowofficial in Atlantic City & broke down my top Three DJ inspirations. Of cause numero uno is our very own Pittsburgh legend Sly Jock. ♥️ I’ve told Ki Ki (his daughter) this ad nauseam:) He would make me late for class at Reizenstein the next morning, but it was all worth it. Aided in fostering my love of all things selecting & my love for radio. Radio is what parlayed my DJ career as you know it presently. I interned at WAMO & then on WRCT, WPTS, & WYEP over the span of the last 35 years. & of course Jeff & Cash (respectively) go w/out saying. My PA cross-state musical brethren were early influences in what would turn out to be my life’s work. Who woulda thunk that deejaying would ultimately morph into my full-time career. Celebrating 10-Years (this year) of playing music for folks as my sole source of income. 🙌🏼 What a blessing in disguise getting laid of in 2013 was. Forced me to leap into a brave new world & I never looked back. Music is my sanctuary 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼 #thankyoudjs #seratohiphop50 #hiphop50thanniversary #slyjock #DJCashMoney #djjazzyjeff #hiphopsavedmylife #serato
3 is the MAGIC NUMBER indeed (had to rock the likkle rekkid eye patch honor of Dave)!!! It’s hard to believe that Three-Years have passed since I was first brave enough to press that ever-so-daunting START STREAMING button in OBS. & oh what an incredible journey it has been. 36 months, nearly 18K followers + achievement of PARTNER PLUS later, here we are. 🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼 The timing of making the next level of TWITCH partner (plus) couldn’t have been more in alignment w/ the anniversary stream. I never thought I would make partner, let alone partner plus. All by simply arising at 6am three days a week in preparation to present selections that speak to me & apparently hundreds of others spanning the globe. It will never stop feeling surreal. I will never stop being appreciative of this blessing. Super love to the Supa Mod Squad & Berry Bunch for making this attainment a reality. ♥️ With that said, join us mañana (Friday-September 29th) from 9am-5pm (EST) for an elongated anniversary edition of ‘Breakfast Jammies.’ Here is to Three more & beyond. L’chaim!!! 🥂🥂🥂 #breakfastjammies #twitchstreamer #selecta720 #chappeau #pushpush #younolikeythejazz #yesindeed #famalam #aswecontinueon
The Pacu @pghzoo seem to dig the vocal stylings of the one Marvin Pentz Gaye. My first aquarium wedding is about to be set off, proper like #zoowedding #pittsburghzoo #pittsburghzooandppgaquarium #rcfspeakers #selecta720
“Don’t forget New Jersey.” This group of women came together (virtually) online during the pandemic, bonded by their mutual love of line dancing. Fast forward three years later & they are all meeting in the funky fresh flesh for the first time this week. Hailing from Gary (Indiana), Miami, Philly, Chicago, and as the young lady in the middle so adamantly stated, somewhere in NJ:) When I asked if anyone was celebrating a birthday yesterday they all pointed to her 86th revolution around the sun the day profit. Such an indelible moment last night at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter for their monthly ‘Intermission’ Happy-Hour series. They then proceeded to get loose to everything i through at them. James Brown, P-Funk, Zapp, The Elements, et.al. An impromptu Soul Train line was started to Freddie Jackson’s “Jam Tonight.” Certainly a first w/ that one setting it off. Each and every one of them hugged me upon exiting at the end. Went on & on about how I made their entire trip! Their radiance joy were palpable These are the little things in our profession that far surpass fame & monetary. To bring joy to one’s life via musical selections is beyond priceless. “Love what you do & do what you love…” In the spiritual words of Raheem & Erro. Quite succinct but spot-on 🎯❤️💜♥️
@madmcferrin + @thenigelhall + ME TONiGHT at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter to properly set off the @pittsburghjazzfest at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter. I made it to the offices T-Shirt, famalam! Will give it some love love on the “T-Shirt Cam” mañana on ‘Breakfast Jammies.’ #wegotthejazz #madisonmcferrin #nigelhall #pittsburghjazzlive
“You don’t have to get ready if you stay ready.” When @summerleeforpa asks if you have any church music during her re-election speech tonight on the South Side, you have to come with it on the (super) fly. Amazing support tonight for a friend & Pennsylvania’s first black woman in congress, (🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼), Summer Lee. Was an honor to provide the musical backdrop for such an amazing event. Let’s keep her in DC in 2024, famalam. Need that energy to carry on + keep, keep on! #summerleepa #neverwouldhavemadeit #marvinsapp
Here it is (Bam!) in all of its historic Pittsburgh glory. Five Minutes Of Funk, if you will. The 1988 Westinghouse High School Band & their rendition of Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay” w/ Craig Sheppard on Drums. Greg Humphries on Drums. Calvin Stemley-Conductor. All teenagers doing the darn thing on their respective instruments. EARLY!!! Perfect tune to unleash as we are on the precipice of the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival next weekend. This record is not on the internet(s) (nor for sale on Discogs) in any form, so I had to put this masterpiece out there for the masses. Thank you my brothers Jay Malls for exposing me to this rekkid & Phillip Thompson for lacing me with a copy. Good looks! There is also a killer take on the Whispers “Rock Steady” contained within & The Westinghouse High School Concert Choir w/ Linda Ross-Broadus as Director blessed the entire side-A with choral delights. Sit back, press play & get instantly whisked backed to Homewood-1988. “Can it be that it was all so simple then…”♥️🖤💚 #westinghousehigh #highschoolband #pittsburghjazz #howmanyversionslaquita #redclay #freddiehubbard #jazzmusic #samplesource
