We went to check out the BMI Urban Awards last night for some real authentic urban entertainment. It kinda felt like a 106 & Park virtual reality experience (after not watching it for over a year), with sounds, sights and scents (eeew) reminiscent of the A!!! Shouts out to Atlanta who was DEFinitely in the house rackin up all the awards… well, the half that T-Pain didn’t scoop up for self. That dude’s percentage of the 900 million BMI made this year has gotta be close to half if not more!! Crazy.
We frospotted Plantlife’s Jack Splash while hanging during the pre-show…
and got a extra special treat w/ the Jabbawockeez from MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew doing their part of the night’s Jackson 5 tribute. They rocked silver versions of their trademark masks and AFROS! Check out this “Dancing Machine” clip we captured at the show…
In the house accepting the honors were all the Jacksons, sans Michael (bummer) - but it was cool to see all the brothers AND Janet, LeToya and Reba and mama and papa J. We were up top so really only got pix of the screens…
& I dunno why, but I saw this in the girls bathroom and it just kinda summed up the awards for some reason!

I grabbed my slightly dysfunctional camera and frospotted some fresh art, cool people and good tunes at the 55 DSL store for the Seen on Audio exhibit. It was packed. Pete Rock was once again providing the right kind of head bop everyone could appreciate. The artists threw a fresh spin on the wall- And I even spotted a tea cup doggie sippin some Stella and snappin his paws to the Sound of Art (for this- you’ll have to check out frotos here…)

For all those fros that I’ve driven by and couldn’t stop for fear of causing a serious traffic accident, I apologize! It is for the safety of others that we had to let some seriously DOPE fros pass by, however here’s the most recent crop of frostastic fros that we’ve captured!

While watching this story abt how BET/MTV are loosing advertisers bc of their explicit rap content, I ended up listening then watching to the story that came next, on 23-year-old musician Esperanza Spalding. This beautiful afronista is doin her thing on a upright bass while singing jazz melodies that warm up your insides! Dopeness.
Esperanza’s tv debut on Letterman a few weeks ago:
in Copenhagen:
Love her!!! Definitely a new fav! If u want more, buy her album “Esperanza” on itunes!

It’s spring in New York and the itch to shed the black on black gear has finally been scratched. Traipsed along the city not too long ago with up and coming fashion designer Nikka Valentine- we ran into the most hype, representin yet another new generation of New York. Cat’s were chillin in Chinatown randomly and upon mention of a pick fro moment, all came together to show us what’s to come…makin me wanna pull out my purple hoodie and lime laces.

Friday night we went to our first Kiss-n-Grind and it felt like an Atlanta party for real! We hadn’t really seen the get sweaty dancing crowd since moving out here so it was nice to find out where to go for a serious dance party. Big ups to Rashida, Garth & Vikter. See ya’ll next time!
