Bmore to Philly!

Saturday I headed up to Philly for a night of fun with the homie Excel. I was working on about 2hrs of sleep from the previous night, but I was AMPED! I got up there around 8 and we headed in town for a few slices before his first gig of the night. Its was an event called beats and rhymes I believe, and it was producers cooking up beats live on stage. I got to meet Jay-ski and checked out a few joints he was working on while Ex smashed through some great hip hop.




Since he had to play until 10:30, I ran over to Denim to get things started. This club was pretty ill and the folks there were really hospitable. The funny thing was, when I walked in, EVERYONE thought I was Excel so I told them I was his stunt double for the night! Around 1am I stepped up to the plate and played for about an hour. The format Ex has going there is DOPE, and is basically ANYTHING GOES! I got to play some of my favorite's that I have been listening to lately with a few commercial joints sprinkled in. Towards the end of the night the homie Fashen came through after his gig and got to close out the night with some great tracks including a dope little 90's hip hop set.





We headed out of the club a little after 3 and headed over to Geno's for my FIRST Philly cheesteak! I reeeeeally wanted to smash 2 of these jammies, but the fellas decided against it for me being that we were waking up in a few hours to get our chicken and waffles on!






Now that the bellies were full, we started to head back and drop Fashen and his homie off at their hotel. Little did we know, we were about to take a complete tour of Philly in about 20 minutes! Since Fashen and I have never really been there, it was only right to see the sights, even though it was almost 4:30am! We stopped by love park, went past the new comcast building, and ended up at the famous Rocky statue.



I'm pretty sure you guys know what happens now.............


After about 3hrs of sleep, we scooped Fashen from his hotel and went to grab chicken and waffles from a spot called "Jones". We all had the chance to catch up on some shit, in between stuffing our face!

I had a great time and I'm looking foward to going back up before Ex heads west. Thanks again for having me up homie! Next up...Philly to Bmore!
