As we get ready to watch Barack accept his nonimation tonight, we’re reminded that there’s always “Pros & Cons” to every great story. Check this out by BET News, co-produced by our frolaborator Catherine Rogers!
LOCKED OUT: EX-CONS & THE VOTE
premieres FRIDAY AT 11:30P with an encore SUNDAY AT 1:30PTune-in to find out why millions of Black people will not be able to participate in this year’s election.
BET News takes an investigative look at disenfranchisement policies that have marginalized an estimated 5.3 million American citizens. Although some debate exists as to whether there remains racist intent in our country’s criminal justice practices, there is no question that certain policies adversely affect the Black community more than any other group in America.
Producers: Catherine Rogers and Samson Styles

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…)

Definitely looking forward to seeing all the folks this weekend at Sunset Junction! J*Davey & Sister Nancy on Sunday are a MUST! Its kinda sad that Isaac Hayes was booked for this show and it will be very moving I’m sure to see Sam Moore do a tribute - HOWEVER - I would like to point out how wack it is that that tribute is going on at the same time as Antibalas!!! The whole ‘muti-stage’ festival concept is cool until they do 2 you wanna see at the same time! Not cool. But we’ll figure it out….

Thanks to the folks at Hello Voltage for lighting a fire under us and getting us to do some “Pick Fros Not Fights” buttons! They hit us up on myspace and we had already been thinking we needed to do buttons but hadn’t gotten to it, so it all came together nicely. Great quality, quick and easy ordering, and now we have fresh buttons to add to the mix.
Check out our new webstore - (click “store” up above! ) for a pack of Pick Fros Not Fights postcards, a few buttons & some stickers. Also check out the updated inventory of available shirts!!

NY- summer may be winding down… and yeah, the air’s a lil chilly… but there’s still dope art to be seen.. and this one’s on audio. (We’ll go ahead and mention “sound by Pete Rock” as the deal-breaker)
Check it out- and don’t forget to smile for the Frolens’
Shout out to our new Frolaborator(via old-school connect) Joe Buck. Look out for major thangs between Buck & Frolab!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a busy weekend! Sorry for the delay on the recap - but here we go…
Stacy rockin a custom Frolab dress!
What a night! Thanks for everyone who came thru and blessed the room with their energy and love. It was a beautiful crowd enjoying a beautiful view…
and most importantly, the beautiful MUSIC! DJ Kaleem, Cha Cha Jones, Proh Mic and Amdex
ALL kept the room feeling good and then Stacy Epps came on and DID HER ThANG!!
She sang the Flying Lotus produced track “Cosmic Dust”, one of my personal favorites produced by Amdex “Addicted”, the Madvillian track (that still gets stuck in my head!) “Eye” & of course the bangin single “Floatin.” Listen to a 22 minute montage of the audio from all my mpegs from the night that were too dark to post the video but we can still enjoy the music!!
Shouts out to her band Rhythm Child - Everette James on drums , Amdex at the tables & Rashida Ali on the flute! & lets talk again about the house and the VIEW!!
Los Angeles 180º around you! It was so beautiful to take in the whole experience. & also we MUST not forget to mention the visual art provided by frolaborators HVW8
Her pieces completely transformed the room and for those of you who were there you got to witness her talent in action as she did a live painting of Stacy. 
emoniFela hosted the jam session with Computer Jay on the Fender Rhodes, J1 on drums & more artists adding to the rhythms…
& we had quite a few unexpected guests…
including Prince Po, Droop & DRES! We got some of Flava for the Month and lots of impromptu musical moments that are exactly what’s supposed to happen at jam sessions!
All in all - a really beautiful night. Many thanks to everyone who came out and to the crew -Charyn and Project MuzeEd, Kasey at VeeV, Asya and Fusicology, Asad from Footlong Development, Ty G at HVW8 and everyone at the House of Armour - Chris, Mike - and everyone who helped out before, during & after! The entire event was a fantastic frolaboration!!
The best of wishes go out to Stacy & EJ as they head over to Europe tomorrow for a few months of spreading the music with Roxanne Shante, Bahamadia, Yarah Bravo and Invincible. Cop the album “The Awakening” NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES! & also in-store at TurntableLab LA, FatBeats or buy it direct from her myspace page (recently redesigned by Frolab) www.myspace.com/stacyepps! Don’t sleep - this is 1 that your will WANT to listen to… more than once!! In this day and age there aren’t that many new albums that even get repeat status in the rotation - but you can’t even get tired of hearing her sweet and warm voice. & If you happen to be in a town she’s heading to, be sure to check her out!!
