Rest In Peace - Guru of Gang Starr - DJ Ruckus Tribute Mix

A couple hours before i heard Guru passed away, I had just got my turntables set up at home and had been flipping thru all my Gang Starr tracks, doubling up all the Premier beats.  It was mad saddening to hear shortly thereafter that Guru had died.  Guru came thru with a unique voice, and consistently kicked something that meaned somethin.  I whipped up a quick tribute mix in his honor with a lot of classics and some of my favorites.  He will be missed dearly.

Red Cedar Ransom 2 - BBoy Event.


This past Saturday i was blessed to dj at Red Cedar Ransom on MSU's campus. This is a yearly B-Boy/B-Girl Event put on by MSU Breakdance Club, a tradition that started last year.  This years event was massive.  Innovative B-Boys, Othello rocked the mic, DJ Franco De Leon killed it, i was mad impressed.  I got to play a few records as well.  Check the little dude out in this video (taken from my phone, unfortuneately):



Thanks to everyone that came out to support probably my favorite element of hip-hop culture outside of djing. Shout out to DJ Adi-8 and the M.I.A. crew, all the MSU B-Boys and B-Girls, and to Self-Xplanatory for rockin out and taking home $1000.
