Milwaukee on a monday night is really, really dead. It was still fun tho. We rocked at a soccer bar called The Highbury. It was a pretty cool set-up in there. Nice and cozy. We of course were performing on a monday night, so we were rocking in front of strictly other artists. And the majority of the artist were the tour fam. LOl. Classic shit. But we gotta give props to the SAFS Crew. These cats held it down. Young cats too. Not even 21 yet. I love seeing that hunger in young emcees. Takes me back a lilttle. I wish i still had hunger like that.
Stay tuned for another tour episode, introducing you to the "Players" on the tour. Also a retrospective on tonights show in Nelson British Columbia. The drive here was nuts, so it'll be worth it. Thanks for supporting me in the basement. It's much appreciated.
Welcome to My Mamas Basement
With this blog i will do a lot of rambling about, nothing really. I see, or hear things that will inspire me to vent, or just relay. Being an Emcee I'm always finding ammunition from the strangest places... You might end up on here if you aren't careful. Just a warning.

2 for 1!!!
Okay so friday we were in Bloomington In. Shit that night was crazy. 2 mics and a kit are always great host! The crowd was on point as usual. Even with some of us having voice problems we stilled wrecked like USM does. The high point of the night was, not the show, but the doorman. My man's is from Brooklyn, so you already know what type of cat he was. Real. But some douchebag walked by givin dirty looks, you know tryin to play that roll in front of his girl. We'll just call the doorman "Brooklyn" for now. So Brooklyn went at the kid extra hard. I never met him before, but he can get down wit our crew anytime. Me, Notion, and Cas One were there to witness, what was probably gonna be a slaughter. I haven't seen a kid get punked out like that since elementary school. I'm quite proud of that kid tho. He did something i totally didn't expect and that was NOT drop the N bomb on us. I thought for sure he was gonna let "Niggers" rain down from heaven. Probably after he left. LOL. All in all it was a good night.
The next night we were in Chicago. We performed with family again. Ill Legit, Scud One, etc... For the most part it was a good show. It had it's low moments tho. Not performance wise, but crowd wise. You know Chicago is like Detroit, in the aspect of giving foreigners a shot. I thought our brethren from Canada did an excellent job, as usual. But some of the audience was not as willing to even give them a shot. Their loss. People need to stop being so close minded and start showing a lil love. It goes a long way when you do. Shouts out to all thos who stuck around and checked out the other acts. We need more people like you. We hit Milwuakee tonight. I'm expecting a small draw, just because its a monday night, but you can never call it. Either way I'm looking forward to it. Stay tuned for tonights show update..

Evansville
So we hit up Evansville In last night. It was a pretty good night. But shitty sound= loss of voice. It was still a good time tho. We played at a spot called the Jungle on Main street. This place was nuts. Crazy zoo related animals all over the place. I felt like i was a little kid again. The owner of this place is a cheap, ball breaking, on the lamb from the mob, Russian. Lol, what your thinking is probably the same thought i had.
But i have to give most thanks to Cas One (http://www.myspace.com/cas1ne). He looked out for us hard. He put up with more than ten individuals, and was completely sincere about it. So thanks again To Cas and Jackie for lookin out for us. It was much appreciated. All in all this tour has been goin great so far. I really can't complain about it. Wish some of the crowds were bigger, but that comes with the territory. That's the whole reason we do this. To build that fan base.
Stay tuned for more info about the tour, and also be on the lookout for video footage from the tour so far. Stay classy you notty head greasy peasy summamabitches!!! I'm out.

Columbus!!!!
So yea we rocked Columbus Ohio last night, at this place called Old Fields on high street, on the north side of town. Shit was pretty dope. Pretty cut and dry. On another note our brethren from Canada made it into the country. So they got to rock last night. They killed it. Again if you dnt know you need to get familiar about these cats http://www.ppfhouse.com. Anyways, there really wasn't anything that would have upset me or the crew last night, so that was cool.
Of course you know we grubbed out tho. There was this place called Hounddogs Pizza practically right across the street. The locals said that, that was the spot to be at. They didn't disappoint. That was def some of the best pizza I have ever eaten. Everything about it was on point. So if your in Columbus ever, make sure you stop at Hounddogs Pizza. They're killing the game.

Pittsburgh
Okay so tonight we were in Pittsburgh Pa. I was really excited to come here. The only other time i had been here was on a 2 hr layover at the airport.
So we get to the venue, everything seems to be on the up and up. We kill it like no other. Unfortunately our brethren from canada were denied entry into the country. Go figure. We assumed that they would not have any problems, even made jokes in regards to them not makin it into the country, and lo and behold, they don't get in. Talk about irony. But anyways back to Pittsburg.
We kill the show like i said. So it's late you know. A couple drinks in us, we're hungry as hell. So we go to this place called Tom's Diner. After waiting for more than an hr and a half, what we believe is our food finally comes out. Cats are ready to grub out. Long story short, the orders are completely incorrect. After waiting another 20 mins they bring out the right food. So thats a total of almost 2hrs now, that it took at a diner that was half empty. Whatever we get our food. We feel like we should at least be comped for the horrible service. Of course they make it seem like it's our fault, and how dare we ask for a comp. Needless to say those bitches at that diner were very, very close to experiencing what Detroit is all about, up close and personal. But I don't need the stress or to end up in jail in the southside of Pittsburgh. But, I advise those visiting this city with the intentions of getting some late night grub on thee southside. Just wait till the sun comes up, and go to Primanti Bros. instead. You'll get better service, and the food will not only come out in half the time, but will be delicious and well worth the little wait you might have to experience.
Im so disappointed right now, but hey I have to keep it moving. But beware of that place its terrible!!!!

Thank God
So we went to Rochester Ny last night.. Its was cool, seemed like a Pontiac or a better Ann Arbor. We get there litterally as the show was starting, You know we did our thing. But unfortunately for us, it was like the Fri before in Windsor. Thats the nature of hip hop these days tho. People just don't support like they used to.. We can say goodbye to that "age". Even with there being a lackluster audience, Myself as well as A7 killed it like it was 1000 people in there. Made some new fans. Thats really what its about at the end of the day, giving those who actually come out a show, and an experience that they can spread the word about. Something for us as artists to be proud of.. So other than toll roads, and traffic, and construction, and even thunder storms, we had a pretty good time....

The First One
So this is the first time I'm blogging. Fell victim to the craze i guess. I like it tho, it gives me the medium to release my disgust for things.... LOL, I'm just talkin shit tho. First things first I gotta talk about what's currently poppin in the life right now. Started a tour this past weekend.

We hit Windsor Ontario on friday night. Shit was cool, the few people who were there seemed to enjoy themselves, And the cats we're on Tour with (http://www.ppfhouse.com/) killed it!! Shouts out to the new homies!!! After being hassled coming and going at the border, needless to say we were glad to be back in the states. Then saturday came! Okay usually I'm not that excited, so don't get used to it. But anyways, the venue we were supposed to rock just suddenly out the blue closed their doors on Friday. Leaving us without a venue for this second date.. Talk about a curve ball.. My boy Tommy came thru tho. Hooked us up with a spot at this party he was throwing. First thing that popped in my head was, college campus+ hip hop+ a bunch of drunk people = THE COPS!!! Of course I was right. They came 2 seperate times.. Goddamn jakes. They still couldn't stop our shine tho. Our, meaning the crew (http://www.usmdetroit.com/) shit was so hype a damn mosh pit broke out during me spitting. If every show on the tour will be this hype, I might not make it. But make sure you check us out, cause we're coming for that ass!!!
