JULY 2010 WHAT THE FRESH RELAUNCH:
The good people over at whatthefresh.com have featured me in their WTFisodes (a “day in the life of” styled mini-doc)! They followed me around, allowed me to wax poetic about the handicapped people on the train, and generally took my self esteem up a few levels. The finished product is super fresh, you can get to know me in a different light then we can hug cause we’ll be closer and whatnot (maybe?)..lol..

You know I always keep it moving so, this Saturday is The Hip Hop TakeOver on WBAI 99.5 FM!!
Yup, a “TAKEOVER”….we’re taking over the radio station from NOON- MIDNIGHT, JULY 10, 2010 with ALL Hip Hop programming from all walks of life and sub-genres! And, I (yup, that’s right…ME!) get to kick it off with the award winning DJ Chela from Noon- 1pm!! With the subpar “options” on the air now, this is a no brainer! Check out our “Stimulus Package” flier by KupiArt and tune in to one or ALL of our shows!
I’ll be sure to post some pics of the marathon crew hanging out at the station next time!!!

What was I thinking?

My friend Natty took this. She caught me completely off guard.
If you look at the photo in the post before, i’m “ON”…in this one is like she caught me mid blink…I was just in the moment.
What was I thinking? I dunno…nothing but everything. I felt like my career was changing and shaping right there on that stage. Every moment in life leads up to a turning point and I didn’t want to look back.
I felt like I could stay up there forever.

From SOB’s to AOL…What a week!

Like the title says: What a week it was indeed!!
TUESDAY:
I take hosting very serioulsy...lol
SOB’s for the Homeboy Sandman/ Spec Boogie (presented by ANARCH EIGHTY) joint album release party! I had the pleasure of hosting the festivities with Peter Rosenberg of Hot 97…and even though I had hosted a million and one shows I was nervous. I was about to hit a stage I had not been on before, in a historic venue ,that usually has an odd crowd energy to help two artists in a defining moment of their careers. Oh and by the way, I know for a fact NBC was there, so that means there was coverage from all over which didn’t help the nerves 
Check out Rosenberg and I giving Homeboy Sandman our big intro to the stage:

But what did help was seeing EVERYONE in NYC’s Hip Hop scene come together, like I said early in the show.. it was like the Hip Hop Lost finale. All I had to see was all the familiar faces and I was good to go.
Before the two guests of honor even hit there were performances by J-Live, Don Will & Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan), Che Grand, SleepWalkas, Core Rhythm & Rabbi Darkside, and more. Not to mention the special guests introduced during Spec Boogie and Homeboy Sandman’s sets like: Peter Hadar, Fresh Daily, John Robinson, just to name a few.

Stay tuned for my show review at societyHAE.com, cause you know I have more footage!!
THURSDAY:
TastyKeish @ AOL studios
Just as I was coming down from my show high, I had to get my mind right for my interview with Dr. Boyce Watkins who has a segment and blog on AOL Black Voices and also his own site: YourBlackWorld.com. I went up to the AOL headquarters with Dorian Chandler, friend, camera woman, and editor of my webshow “Taste of The Town” and we ended up doing two separate interviews but both together. One for my show and how I ended up shooting a Sensual Fitness class and the other was for Dorian’s film “Nigger Nation” which I worked on with her. We ended up having this conversation about the word nigger and it’s usage in contemporary society which turned out pretty funny.
After our interviews, we ended up hanging out and talking crazy talk with Pras of The Fugees and trying to discover where the smell of ribs were coming from with Sherri Shepherd of The View.
Since the interviews have to be edited, I have a sneak peek of our day at AOL. Enjoy the pics!

It’s pretty safe to say, I had a pretty good week…
