I thought I was over it but obviously I was wrong as my mental clock is still off! I’m jet lagged and here is one of the reasons why!!

The jam session at The Sugar Factory was dope!! Shout out to Aischa Traidia. We will definitely be working together in the future. Look out for material from her!

Time to get some writing and recording done.

Peace!

AMSTERDAM II

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I am sitting here in the hotel lobby in Paris typing on the craziest keyboard ever trying to get this blog out to the people!! I am still stuck on Amsterdam because I had the greatest time there! I really got a chance to explore the city and met some really good people. It is crazy how small this world is. I met people in Amsterdam who are tight with people I know in the states.

I wanted to share more video today but this PC has got to be running on dial up because the video is taking a century to download. I will see if I can get some videos up for ya’ll later. For now enjoy these photos!

I went to the cafe’ to write but I didn’t know until I arrived that it was the Cheeba Cafe’

I continued to explore and I don’t remember where I am at here but I asked a patron to take a picture.

DAM SQUARE

I ate this crepe at the Pancake Corner LEIDSE SQUARE and it was excellent!!!!!

After the crepe it was time to head back to the hotel to work on my album.

Bout to hit the streets of Paris. Holla at ya’ll in a minute!

Montreux Jazz Fest. Part II

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Here is some footage of us prior to hitting the stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival when Little Brother shows up.

Moments later we took the stage for one of the greatest stage experiences of my life time! It was a true experience to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival because plenty of legends have played on this same stage!! Here is a clip of us playing “Give The Drummer Sum”

After the phenomenal set I went to the main lobby to see what else was going on at the festival!

I’ll have some footage from Amsterdam tomorrow!!!

Over and out!

Montreux Jazz Fest. Part I

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

On Sunday we left Lyon for Montreux, Switzerland. The scenery on the roads in Europe are beautiful. I have learned to never take moments like these for granted!

Once we arrived in Montreux we checked into the hotel and it was time for all of us to get some rest. The road really has an affect on your body especially after the late show in Lyon as well as the 7 hours of travel! Here is the view from my hotel window.

After we got a bit of rest it was off to sound check!

Got some backstage footage for ya’ll tomorrow!! Stay tuned!!

EURO TOUR RECAP II (LYON, FRANCE)

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

After a bit of rest I met up with Daru, Black Milk, and Hex (Black Milk’s manager) to go to soundcheck. After sound check we headed to the Kebab shop!!!

We retired to our rooms to rest up and then hit the stage for our first show around 10:30pm. Here is a clip of us Performing “So Gone”

The show was dope!!!
