I’ll be short about this one. By now you should already have put the Shine On edition of Stoopid Fresh on your calender and if you haven’t then read below and support that. For everyone that says there is no fun to be had in the city just 2 days later Detroitrap.com is putting on the monthly mixer. I’ve had the pleasure of attending a couple of these and the vibe is great. You will find the perennial who’s who and all that but really i could give a fuck less about that. It’s good music and good people. One of the reasons it’s so dope is this guy.
the is P Dog ladies and gentleman
He spins the illest shit and what blows my mind is that most of it is local material. When every other DJ out there is complaining that Detroit artists aren’t making the music people wanna hear, it’s not radio ready and all that nonsense, P Dog is actually out in spots proving them wrong (use that as your market research check writers). I’ve been a fan of his for awhile, and he is a pleasure to work with. He loves music and that might not sound surprising that a DJ loves music, but i know a lot of frustrated DJ’s. He doesn’t like the title of DJ though. He is a Turntable Bully so respect that. You can hit his Myspace HERE.
This night is also special because my man Dante is performing. If you don’t know him, I just blogged about him too so search the archives. Raw Collection is doing their thing as well so it is taken care of on the performance tip.
I know I said it would be short, but I wasn’t thinking about all the dope shit with this night at first. There is also a beat battle and I’ve really seen these things gain in popularity over the last couple years. Producers are starting to realize they don’t need MC’s to get their shine. I’m in trouble yall if I don’t start learning how to use the MPC. lol. The beats are banging so you’ll appreciate whether you’re an MC looking to network, or a fan just appreciating the rhythem. They also keep it moving for all you ADD cats out there. On top of that, the producers are very entertaining so you will even enjoy watching them as their beats play.
