If you were with us last year, you know how it went down.  Come chill with the fam as we bring in 2012.  We got ToQuon on the mic along with P-Trix, Daine, Joelskee and myself supplying the music.  This time I might break out something different from what I usually do.

Once again, we have DMC in Long Beach, CA.  This year however, will be the first time ScratchLive will be allowed to be used during the individual set.  I’m kinda curious on what people might come up with.

We will be celebrating OG Glaze LA’s 2 year anniversary at the Falcon this Friday.  Plus, we got a ton of B-Day parties including our very own resident DJ Daine.  You know the drill.  RSVP.

This coming week we have special guest sets from Vikter Duplaix and DJ Buddy.  We also have my man Trek Life from DP Sound / Bridges crew coming through and hosting.  Send your RSVPs in.  Get your drinks up.
