Jamaica

Ash and I went to Jamaica. Our first vacation in over a year, a whole week without our boys, and spending it at an all inclusive resort in Montego Bay. First time spending my birthday out the country. 37 years old on August 23rd, and for my birthday I decided to drop the latest #PurpleLabel release from GoonMilk as well.

New Beginnings

This year for Juneteenth I cut my hair. My locs were down to my butt and it felt a bit too heavy to handle so for the second time since starting my loc journey in 2005, I trimmed my locs to just about 4 inches. Actually I cut them to just about the same length of Phoenix’s hair length as he also is beginning his loc journey so we can grow them together.

Year One Done

My first year as a Dedicated Aide is in the books! I want to thank my Kids first and foremost, the Staff at WLA and the Allicock Group for trusting me. Can’t wait to see what next year holds whether it be a new position at the school or another year as a Dedicated Aide and assisting with coaching at WLA.

You Weren’t There!

You Weren’t There!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being on the You weren’t there podcast Hosted by Mia along with my bro Dre and up and coming Artist DFG Ju. A few years ago I vowed to not do podcasts because of how gimmicky and how fast they were popping up during the pandemic left and right. I’ve done a few of my family’s podcasts ie. Most Known Unknowns, and HighCodes Podcast but it stopped there. I chose to be a guest here because I respect what the podcast stands for; bringing real artistry to light, and creating real dialogue amongst creatives. Not click bait, not viral momentum, just real people with real talent having real convos. Something all three of the aforementioned podcasts have in common. I actually enjoy talking about my career and journey so this was a lot of fun. Check out the You Weren’t There Podcast Below!

Aligned

Tonight is the second installment of “Aligned” an Industry Mixer for the DMV artists to come collaborate, hear each others music and vibe out to the sounds of DJ Bri Mafia and Trilla Kay powered by 4TheDMV! Of course I’ll be there operating the photobooth and food by Chefe! First Aligned night was a banger! Literally my best night to date at the alumni working the booth. Much appreciation and respect to Bri for orchestrating these events, you forever Gang as far as I’m concerned. Come out support your local artists and see what youve been missing from the underground to mainstream talent in the DMV.

Mama we made it! The Alumni Spot was featured on Good Morning Washington ABC7 News last month and I had the pleasure of capturing the Behind The Scenes footage and getting a cool lil shoutout for my Photography and Marketing at The Alumni Spot. Also got some great shots of Yadi and Trae Backstage. The segment focused on Yaddiya’s continued community involvement and his venture into the Restaurant business, the amazing food Chef Chefe curates in the Alumni Spot, as well as how it all came about from Yaddiya’s Long Live Gogo Movement.
