'Bout It, 'Bout It wit Sgld x B-Rock TONIGHT

JGoods Clothing Release @ Phenom tonight!

My boy DJ Twellis and myself will be spinning Funk & Breaks from 7:30 - 10 as a warmup for the official afterparty across the street at O'Gara's. Come through Phenom and check out the fresh threads and get into O'Gara's for free. Holler!

Phenom x Art-A-Whirl

Art-A-Whirl is in full effect this weekend.  This is Minneapolis' version of St. Paul's Art Crawl where a bunch of studios open up their doors to the public to show off and sell home-grown art.  There are many events going on throughout the day and can be found at the official website after the jump above.  One of the cooler events is a collaboration between St. Paul's premier streetwear retailer, Phenom, and screen-printing shop Anthem Heart.  They will be doing live, interactive prints on tee-shirts where you can choose from select stencils to make the design you like.  The best part is that it's cheap: between $8 and $15 depending on the style.  So swing by Q.arma Building at 1224 Quincy Street NE, Studio 225 and pick up some exclusively dope tees.

There will also be plenty of live performances and music throughout the day.  For live music outside of Nord East, swing by Phenom to check out the new hotness as well as yours truly spinning some quality hip-hop starting at 3pm and going until my crate runs dry.  I will be bringing some promo mixes with me and a tee-shirt or two.  So if you stop by and mention this blog, I'll toss you a free tee-shirt from my private collection.  Holler!

Get Cryphy 14 in pictures

You know the drill.  It's the day after another successful Get Cryphy.  The crowd continues to become more diverse as this party evolves.  It was great to see all lifestyles and ethnicities represented.

The guest DJ of the night was So Gold who really got the crowd heated with a blend that I've never heard before.  I'm going to assume it's his own special blend.  He dropped the instrumental of Justin Timberlake's "My Love" which got the girls going, and then brought in the vocals of "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" for all the fellas (and weed smokers).  It worked so well.

I also must give a shout out to the local, independent retailer of cool ish, Phenom, for giving away cool schwag.  Items included shirts, stickers, caps and even a skateboard!  Bill tossed wooden projectile into the crowd midway through the night.  I can't believe nobody got hurt.  A lot of people ended up leaving with some good stuff.  I'm still trying to convince my girl to let me rock the stocking cap she nabbed.  I can't complain though, because I caught a solid long sleeve.  Props to Phenom.
