New Chicago Heat!

Common is back with some OFFICIAL BOOM BAP hip hop just in time for the summer! The new track titled "The Game" featuring DJ Premiere is solid. You really can't go wrong with the chemistry from these two. Plus the production of Kanye...(shaking my head)....forget about it.

Rotation Rotation......

Summer has arrived. Here are some selected Quickwits for you to bump in the streets!

ugk ft. outkast - intl players anthem dj.dstar drum edit
This song is awready' an anthem on the streets. Expect to hear this song the entire Summer. The sample used from Willie Hutch "I choose you" makes this song and should encourage you to go back and watch the movie "The Mack"

peter bjorn and john - let's call it off
For some odd reason, some relationships tend to end either before Spring Break or Summer Break. If your one of the few, this song may help you cope with the loss. If you have a history of being EMO then pop this one in and go buy yourself a new t-shirt from American Apparel.

wes fif - haterz everywhere
"Folks be acting extra hard like a Viagra overdose", this has to be the best line of the song. The production carries some synth sounds, that sound a little like Justin Timberlake "My Love", but more gansta' and perfect for you to roll your windows down, pop trunk and cool-aid smile your grill to errrrr-1.

NYC and Houston connected for a nice party to set off the Summer.

Manipulated Marauders

The Are is on a roll! He contacted Quickwits today to keep us updated with his most recent project.

I started the marauders project early last year. I was in NY and heard a tribe joint from the Marauder album. I thought to myself it would be dope to take all the original Midnight Marauder samples and re-work them to make new joints. At first, it was crazy because all the tribe songs are so distinct that no matter what i did to the break, they all still sounded the same. Because of this, I was'nt getting it done as quickly as I wanted so After chopping a few tracks, I realized it would be even better to go deeper into the record they used and pull out different parts to flip. It worked out well because now you hear the tracks in a different way but it's still connected and "Manipulated"

You can't please everybody, but hold up Houston, Rock Box is ahead of the game when it comes to bring'n down the right talent that are on the verge of blowing up or awready' certified in different areas. The truth is that Rock Box caters to a diverse crowd in tune with cutting edge markets weather it's music, fashion or entertainment........... so recognize!

Latinos Presente

This just in courtesy of Cobra Krames and Bobby LaBeat. I had no clue these boys were up on this genre of music. Houston Latina women will drop their thongs if they are wearing any to this mix. But don't get it twisted, I'm sure his set will not go down like this when he makes debut in Houston June 7th at Rock Box Thursdays. Mark your calender! And it's FREE!

My friend got a new camera

She's outta control with the toy collection. I'm not going to call her out, she awready knows she's on point. We were chattin' on AIM and she said "I took pictures of my apartment up...trying out my new camera..." Seems like she has a lil addiction. Don't we all?

Sorry haven't updated in a minute

The Vice party was outta control! I'm still working on getting some pics from from the evening. A lot of fun and exciting events going down this month. Here's the happenings for this weekend.

Vice Magazine Party at Rock Box

This Thursday Vice Magazine teams up with Rock Box to host the screening of the unreleased "Screwed In Houston" dvd produced by Peter Beste and Lance Walker. Screening will begin around 10:30pm, followed by DJ Domo (DJ for Scarface, Coughee Brothaz and ummmm yeah....do ya homework).



DJ Domo is a Houston legend! No telling who else will make an appearance Thursday. A little FYI, this is a Vice debut party in Houston so I'm predicting this will be a trill ass party! Giveaways by Vice Magazine, Premium Goods and SLFEMP.
