That party last night was awfully crazy. Good thing we taped it— well, a small portion at least. Last night we held our one year anniversary party at Greehouse in NYC with DJ Soul and Jazzy Jeff on the wheels of steel. Guest included Big Boi, Jay Electronica, and loads of others. YN already posted the pics, but here’s some brief footage from behind the velvet rope. See ya next year, Big Homie. Ha!

If convicted, he faces a year in jail.
L to R: Big Boi, Rap Radar Founder Elliott “YN” Wilson, Jay Electronica Thanks to everyone who came out to last night’s celebration at Greenhouse. I’m still hungover. How ’bout you? Props to Alvon, Karin, and my wife Danyel for puttin’ the damn thing together, DJs Jazzy Jeff and Soul, and, of course, Paul R. We’ve just begun. It’s too late to hate. But you can do it anyway. Ha.

[vodpod id=Video.3292292&w=425&h=350&fv=] You know he had to do a remix right? Here’s footage of Luda and his bad chicks shooting scenes for the revamped version of his hit track. It’s going down. Basement.
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
