Tour diahareah (day seven)
Long Beach: I think it was just a combination of rainy sunday weather and poor promotion. This kind of thing happens from time to time.
The instore at graFX was strange. It was one of those machismo crowded, mic hogging kind of “shows”. There were sections blocked off where young women were wearing boy briefs and tiny tops. They were being painted on by graffiti dudes and it seemed like i was in...
Tour Diary (day Sixxx)
Saint Diego last night::::: all I can say is that I’ll miss you. Here is a brief description of the Kava Lounge; a quaint but dual leveled space, low lit lighting, mystically painted walls, and sprinkled with tiny candles. The variables couldn’t be any better, excellent sound, good looking party having folks, a dope environment, and magnificent elixir kava drinks (omfg).
At the beginning I...
Tour Diary (day five)
We mashed from the central valley to Pomona in what seemed like no time at all. Rolled up to Radio Futura for an in-store performance and quickly handled it. It was your classic Hip Hop graffiti spot with a wide assortment of hoodies, markers, spray cans, and what nots. The house was full of hungry eyes and nodding heads like a cerebral backpack church gathering. They were open as Graves harnessed...

Tour Diary (day four) Fresyes - Fresno
Fresno is like a Icy Hot rub or sweet & sour chow main, a true mixture of sensations. Fresnalgas is what the jokers call it. She is my hometown and I felt her love.
We roll in about 6pm to a foggy empty ghost like down town. Tokyo Garden stands at nearly the edge of the corner of the street with bright lights out front seeming to be the only source of life for blocks. Inside is a warm clean...
Tour Diary (day three)
Oakland/Last night: the Stork is your classic punk rock dive. It’s always Christmas in there. Maybe it’s the row of toy Barbies that cover the back wall of the bar counter? “Maybe the christmas tree lights make my feel that way?” my friend 4AM pointed out. I would say we delivered the heat according to the crowds reactions. Gajah really is a rhyme slayer. Anyone who...
Tour Diary (part 2) Santa FU€%ING Cruz
Woke up on a nice soft sofa in a secret cave near the Mission. I wander down the street and find the H Cafe. A cool little spot placed on the right side of the road and as Sonny Rollins’ jazz echos from the little white hidden speakers, I sip some rich perfectly bitter java. I don’t know for sure why I stopped buying old jazz records, prob cause I don’t sample as much or just wanna spend my music...

California Tour Diary (Day 1)
As the boys rolled into the greater bay area from their northern heights, I realized that I could save them some greenbacks by sneaking them through the back door. In rolls Graves, Jose, and the tall slinky & unassuming Gajah. San Fransisco: A day of filming and snapping flics, then I had some records placed in Amoeba. San Jose: we roll up to the billiards and chat up the bar tender, a cute...
