Happy New Year from your folks here at Frolab. We are back in efx for a great 08.
Shouts out to my partner RUBIX and his lady Meaghan, Hebru and his crew from the Chi who came thru and brought in the new with us.







We kicked off our first year here in LA at my man Brent Rollins and Gabe Alvarez’s (EGO Trip) crib up in the hollywood hills.






A very dope way to bring in the new with good peeps, good music thanks to a slew of LA’s best beatsmiths (TyG,Haycock,Coleman,Gaslamp,JamieStrong)just to name a few.

We finally got over to the MOCA to catch the MURAKAMI exhibit. I will say this much. it was so dope we going again today with Hebru to make sure we seen everything.They won’t let you take any pics so you need to get down there soon.
