New York, New York - Day 8


Not as many pics today im afraid peeps... its my second last day in the the city and ive actually spent a large percentage of the day moping about depressed over the fact that its nearly time to come back to the sess pit of a city i call home. To be honest though... my plans didnt work today anyway. Firstly i was supposed to go and meet Audrey for "Brunch" (its an NY thing apparently??) but knowone warned me it was gay parade in manahtten so rather than get caught in that, i turned and walked the other way... out of fear of coppin an eye full of a man in a g string first thing sunday morning, i made it my business to focus on the massive amount of Peurto Rican lesbians instead..... then i was supposed to meet my friend Ramona to watch the football but she got so drunk with her friend that didnt happen.... (i thought it was only English people that get smashed before 3pm?) So i went home and got ready to go spin at the EOW battle.... not before takin a quick flick of the paintin that hangs on my boys wall, been meaning to do this the whole trip... see above.


Got down there for about 8ish, Good to see Webb who i aint seen in about 2 years. All the EOW guys out here are def good peoples. The night started quietly but picked up and was rammed by about 11.


I got to kick the night off playing all the shit I love which is allways a blessing from old school Mobb Deep to new Nas joints... was def a nice change from being asked to play "Funky" or "T-Pain".


The host Big Zoo was one of the illest freestyle Mc ive heard in a while. All the Mcs were on point actually. I got to spin for one of the challenges where i had to play 3 different beats to throw the mcs off. I had them rhyming on Madonna tracks and all sorts!


I was told that the quality is normally a bit higher than it was tonight however i thought eveyone involved was pretty good. Again i got showed a lot of love by people. Its actually worrying that throughout the whole time ive been here i get shown more love by artists and promoters here than i do in my own home town.... maybe this is telling me something!... London might just not be my home town for too much longer! Anyway, till tommorows grand finale of Shabaam Shadeeqs mixtape release with me, Tony Touch and Evil D.... i bid you all farewell. Peace!
