What can I say....!!! It was a massive event. There were problems just cos of the rain, and the stage had to be rescheduled timewise, but I gotta shout out Mike (Yume) & Wes on how they handled the day and made it rock non stop.
Pharoah Monche, dead Pres, Primo, Styles P, Sheek,Black Thought, broke n English,The Clown Prince...
I never thought with this nutty kinda hip hop we kick that all those names would be mentioned in the same breath..

The backstage was worked nicely with live art going on, lots of cats in the press pens, lots of cameras, hip hop websites, other artists who just came down to support.

I met Black Thought and he was so cool it was crazy. The Roots set the bar for live instrumental hip hop right now.

There were some crazy acts that I wish I had caught their name - there was this 3 man band - one dude on decks, one dude on drums and one dude rocking 2 synths n they just ripped up different instrumentals. with the dj cutting up the acapellas on the decks and it will dope.

We rocked the 2nd stage and werent able to get the full band on, so Andrew had to take up dj duties and Chris became my hype man. It was so funny having Chris as a hype man, he was loving the "rapper mics" and getting his swang on.

Footage after the dots......
