This is Philly You Welcome to Come CHECK US!
The high quality pictures in this fantastic post are provided by the equally fantastic Liz Padova. She’s a food snob and great photog. Get to know her. The low quality ones are from my favorite cousin Tamika’s camera. Ladies she’s the girl cousin I call if you need to get rocked!
Philadelphia is notorious for its lack of support and even so every once in awhile I get a strong feeling of optimism and I say “hey, why not do a show at home for once.” The Philly release party for Flavor Ade was one of those times. I enlisted a bunch of rappers as well as super DJ Fishr Pryce and said “hey guys let’s have a party!” Verbal Tec recently had a his first child (congrats big homey!) and Dos-Noun just moved back to Pittsburgh so Parts of Speech has been all but dead as a group for a few years now but they are easily 2 of my favorite rappers in the universe so I convinced them to come out. Dos-Noun flew out in the middle of his finals. He is the truest. Has-Lo is featured on the “I’m the Best Mayne” and is easily one of the most unsung emcees in Philadelphia so it was a must that I have him rock as well. And last but not least my dude Al Mighty formerly of a group called MAGr from Camden was on the bill to rock it because he’s dope and I like him. Basically myself and Dom Pinelli from Public Axis put together a show that I wanted to see.
And everyone delivered. Fishr Pryce was killin it on the tables. He had people rockin’. I was milling around getting drinks trying to get my head in the game and Fish and me dancing and greeting people that I hadn’t seen in years and some that had just never seen me perform before. Before he played I’m pretty sure I was in a bad mood because of issues with the sound and things but once Fish got on I was back in it and was excited to party!
Much much more after the jump!
