XO this Saturday, my birthday. It's also DJ Tikelz birthday (yep, we were born on the same day - a few years apart though), so we combined our birthdays to do it real big! Look at this list of giveaways:
- Young Jeezy The Recession album launch - Street Credibility/Swagg News mixtapes - Incasso sneakers - Player Haters clothing - Joker Brand t-shirts - Xzibit concert tickets - 300 SHOTS OF ALIZE
You already know how to get on the guestlist! See you there for a silly, silly night.
No, I'm not on my way to Thailand to finally meet my half-brother and half-sister (yes they do exist, I just don't acknowledge that side of my fam), I'm talking about the new Kid Sister track Family Reunion featuring David Banner. I didn't know this Kid Sister chick was so hot! Why didn't someone tell me? This track is hot too, nice old school vibe. I do like some old school you know, just not the tacky garbage that is played by most "old school" DJs in Sydney.
Tonight I'm doing the early set at 24K, come down and have a few cold ones while I'm slaving away behind the decks! Tomorrow night at XO I'm on from 1am as usual, but will be at the club from 10pm so get down there early and have a drink with your boy.
Next week at XO features a joint birthday party and it's going to be BANANAS (bee aye en aye en aye ess!). Myself and DJ Tikelz share the same birthday so we will be getting silly with it. Alize are sponsoring the night so the alcohol will be flowing, plus there will be giveaways all night - CDs, sneakers, clothing. I'm getting giddy just thinking about it.
Had a feeling this would happen - throw a T.I. party at XO and my inbox is full of guestlist requests from females. I'm not complaining! And 24K is shaping up to be a big one too. Send an email to XO or 24K for guestlist.

Came across this track again while putting together a DMX compilation for a friend, 24 Hours to Live by Mase feat. Black Rob, DMX and The L.O.X. It was on the album Harlem World, released in one of hip-hop's golden eras, 1997 (yeah it was the shiny suit era, but I'm all about the jiggy s--t).
If you're in Canberra, get yourself to Souled Out @ Minque this Friday night. I'll be down there trying to resist the endless waves of alcohol that will be coming my way as it's also DJ Daz's birthday (Daz is one of the resident superstar DJs in Canberra) and he's promised me a drunken evening. Sydney-ites, of course the place to be is still 24K.
It's not what you think - there's still no contest politically, Obama stays slayin' 'em. But now Sarah Palin has her own hip-hop "tribute" track! A few months after Obama, Obama by A.P.T. dropped, John Brown aka King of the 'Burbs has released Sarah Palin (I Wanna Lay Pipe). Take a listen to both tracks below! P.S. McCain sucks.

Thanks again to Kaylani at Footlocker, who keeps an eye on the giant sized shoe section in the store room, check out these Jordan Spizikes! Yeah they're old, but they're dope (and they're size 15, which helps).
The complaints about no good Friday nights in Sydney are fading - join me and the rest of the XO team at 24K @ Golden Palace this Friday night. I'm doing the early set (gives me more time for a few drinky-drinks afterwards!) so come down and check it out. Email me if you want free hookups at the door!
FUN FACT: I composed this entire post while on the phone with Telstra (they promised me a better deal on my Blackberry, we'll see). I'd like to promise you a better deal on your nightclub experience, is free entry OK with you? Email XO or 24K and hook yourself up.

First of all, sorry to let the Kobe fans down but the topic of this post is NBA RAPPERS, not rapers. I was inspired to put this post together after reading John Rillie's blog where he mentions Tony Parker's album. (Side note: Mr Longoria isn't too bad on the mic! I play Bienvenue Dans Le Texas at XO every now and then and it gets a decent reaction.) I ended up diving into my CD collection to find B-Ball's Best Kept Secret, a collection of NBA players who wanted to be pretend rappers for a day (except Shaq, who turned it into a side career). It was released in 1994 and it's the kind of thing that you know David Stern wouldn't allow today in a billion years. I mean, these guys aren't dropping Will Smith rhymes - the first track on the album features Dana Barros talking about how he "stays strapped" and is "smokin' on chronic". For your listening pleasure I've got every track from the album below (minus the skits and interludes, and also minus the bonus track on the Australian version of the album - Ain't We Dunkin' by Rodney O! If anyone has a copy of this track send it my way, please). Because I'm such a nice guy, I've included three bonus tracks of my own at the end featuring more current NBA stars (actually, it's two NBA players and one NBA owner. And if you're looking for anything by Kobe or Chris Webber, unfortunately you're out of luck). Check it out y'all!
DANA BARROS Check It
One of my favourite tracks from the album, it sets the tone that while these guys aren't lyrical beasts, the beats are tight and they're not going to necessarily embarrass themselves. Well, until you get to the tracks by Dennis Scott or Jason Kidd anyway...
MALIK SEALY Lost in the Sauce
R.I.P. Malik. Most people feel this is probably the best track on the album.
SHAQUILLE O'NEAL Mic Check 1-2 (feat. Ill Al Skratch)
It's no What's Up Doc, but it's not Shaq's worst track. However, it might contain Shaq's worst line: "I can freak it Shaq-a-pello / this big fellow / is that your girlfriend / how you doing, hello."
CEDRIC CEBALLOS Flow On (feat. Warren G)
Much like Cedric's career, this track is mildly entertaining then instantly forgettable.
BRIAN SHAW Anything Can Happen
Probably not the most upbeat track you're going to hear - it's about how Brian's parents and sister were killed in a car accident a year earlier.
CHRIS MILLS Sumptin' To Groove To
I'm too lazy to cut and paste what I said about Cedric Ceballos' track and change the name to Chris Mills.
JASON KIDD What the Kidd Didd (feat. Money R)
Horrible! I can't listen to this track without cringing.
J.R. RIDER Funk in the Trunk
Super-ghetto. What else did you expect from J.R. Rider? Imagine if he was still in the NBA and released this track today - "See California n*ggas yeah we straight drop bombs".
DENNIS SCOTT All Night Party
It's not as bad as the Jason Kidd track... barely.
GARY PAYTON Livin' Legal and Large
I'm biased because of my connection to Gary Payton and the Sonics, but I think this track is dope! It pretty much sounds like a typical Too $hort track, which isn't such a bad thing.
DANA BARROS & CEDRIC CEBALLOS Ya Don't Stop (feat. Diamond D, Grand Puba, A.G. & Sadat X)
Nice posse cut to end the album. Oh, you're probably wondering about the pic. I didn't want to run another pic of Barros and Ceballos so I just did a Google Image search for "B-ball's Best Kept Secret" and that pic came up. That's probably what I'll end up looking like in 20 years.
BONUS TRACKS! ALLEN IVERSON a.k.a. JEWELZ 40 Bars
This is the infamous track that got Iverson in a lot of hot water with the league. What did he expect with lyrics like "come at me with f*ggot tendencies you'll be sleeping where the maggots be".
TROY HUDSON a.k.a. T-HUD Tru Luv (feat. Ray J)
You know what, I actually like this track. Troy Hudson takes his musical career very seriously, unfortunately he didn't set the world on fire with his sales.
JAY-Z LeBron James playoff freestyle
Do you think the Cleveland Cavaliers love seeing pictures like the one above, with their all-world franchise player hanging out with the part-owner of the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets? The same Nets who will have a ridiculous amount of cap room when LeBron becomes a free agent? Jay-Z recorded this track during the NBA Playoffs when DeShawn Stevenson and the Washington Wizards were trying to rip King James' head from his shoulders every time he drove to the basket.
When I find the cable for my camera, look for two cool as hell posts - one on the new pair of Jordans I just picked up, and the other on my sure-fire cure for getting over a cold (trust me, it works). In the meantime, listen to this track that appeared in my inbox this morning - Here I Go by Terock. It samples the Whitesnake classic Here I Go Again. Youngsters will remember this track from the Will Ferrell movie Old School. It was the second best musical moment in that movie, check out the best! Check out the crazy stupid awesome Whitesnake album cover as well, they don't make album artwork like they used to.
Couldn't even do the podcast this week so DJ Nino Brown offered to host it in my absence - thanks champ. Guestlists this week - email 24K and/or XO!

It's official - second day of spring and I'm sick. But I'm feeling better after hearing this track! I'm 2 Live by 2 Live Crew feat. Mannie Fresh. It'd be even better if it was the 2 Live Crew that included Mr Mixx and Uncle Luke, but at least it's some new music from the Crew, produced by one of my favourite producers.
You know, I had a feeling this would happen after my big weekend. It's Monday morning (hey, 12:40pm is still "morning" in DJ hours) and I'm sucking down 2.4L of orange juice to make sure this dodgy feeling I have in the back of my throat doesn't turn into a full-blown cold. It's not even winter anymore dammit. Back on topic, yes the launch of 24K was a big night and it was good introducing Sydney people to a new venue! And as always XO on Saturday night was huge and Flygirl Tee's set was dope! Check out some pics below from the massive weekend.
Myself and DJ Carl Alley at 24K (we really were happy, no idea why we've both got the tough guy face on - and the colour co-ordination was accidental!)
Flygirl Tee in the awesome DJ booth at 24K
Nice lights!
Tee at XO on Saturday night. Oh yeah and you might be able to spot MC Fuzz somewhere hiding in this pic as well
No, I'm not on my way to Thailand to finally meet my half-brother and half-sister (yes they do exist, I just don't acknowledge that side of my fam), I'm talking about the new Kid Sister track Family Reunion featuring David Banner. I didn't know this Kid Sister chick was so hot! Why didn't someone tell me? This track is hot too, nice old school vibe.
