OFF THE TOP RADIO: GRAMMY CHASE Podcast 2

PODCAST
Grammy Chase x Off the Top Radio:
Another great conversation with my good brother at Off the Top Radio, Curry Kid. I referred to him in my first video blog as Kid Curry, which he politely made me aware of..LOL
Well, in my defense, I told him that I was just conditioned to hip hop names that began with the word “KID” as in Kid Frost, Kid Capri, Kid Cudi, Kid N Play..lol. Considering that I’m not the first person to screw it up, Curry is doing some name change contemplating, nothing too drastic, but just something that all artists go through.

That said, enjoy the PODCAST


BDW@ FALL FEST 09

Had the opportunity to be the opening act at UB’s Fall Fest 2009. Great time! Great fun. The sound was pumpin’, the set was tight, Richie sounded great, Tone on the 1′s and 2′s, plus we looked real dope on the Jumbo Screen.
LINE UP: BDW – Jadakiss – Busta Rhymes – Common – Lupe Fiasco

THE JET-SONS!!

Picture 3(Above) The Ad that started it all!

Two guys, a plan, JetBlue Airlines and a good deal!! Two friends, Clark and Joe (Buffalo Natives) took the $599 JetBlue All You Can Jet promotion to the next level for sure. These guys plan to travel for 31 days straight, spending only 12 hours in as many cities as they can possibly book. They even built a website to document their journey. 12Hrs. (site)

Picture 5

You know how us Buffalonians are, we ALWAYS have to make the news, headlines, mentions, blurbs in some sort of way. So here’s another reason for ex-pats and out-of-towners to envy the brilliance of some of Buffalo’s Best! These guys have already been targeted by the TIMES. They had an interview with Channel 2 this morning as well.

Get ready for a ride Boys!!!! Go CLARK AND JOE!!!


MORE GREATNESS!!

The Brilliance of Bruce plus the brilliance of technology. Don’t be fooled but I still give Bruce the benefit of the doubt. My hero!

NXNE: North by North East Music and Film Festival…here we come!! 

NXNE-promo

 

Around the “Hood” if you say that you are  headed “Up North,” its not really a good thing. It means that you’ll be taking a trip… a trip without a book bag, luggage or a boarding pass. JAIL!!
But in the THIS case, it is of the most positive of circumstances that Billy Drease and the DOPE45′s  will find ourselves performing Up North, in Toronto, Canada…legally!!
