Childish Gambino!

Donald Glover from the NBC show Community also raps and calls himself "Childish Gambino" I am currently playing his albums non stop. He has a new school flow to his rhymes and also got some hilarious lyrics and punchlinnes.  He's all about just being a nerd and trying to have a good time. He's offering his current album for FREE! Grab it on his site here.  If you go and search his Childish Gambino site, you can also find 2 free mixtapes!

Nom Now 1st Art Show @ Vesuvios

Last Friday I went to check out and support Nom Now and the Rarebreed fam at their event at Vesuvios in South Philly. I took some photos, but most of em came out blurry. I gotta learn how to keep a steadier hand. The subjects that i took that were NOT moving came out pretty cool. I tried salvaging what I could in Photoshop and I ended up giving it a "Nom Now" filter to match their photo aesthetic.

Take me to the rest of the photos!

Die Antwoord at Voyeur in Philly!

Thanks to Making Time for putting on such a kick ass show! I haven't exited a club in years where I was dripping in sweat and stinking like cigarettes and LOVED every second of it. I thought I could hang and braved it in the front for about 4-5 songs until the bouncers in the club shoved me out of the front of the crowd cuz I was "pushing" That was the only complain about that night. Let the crowd do its thing and the more you fight with it, the more the crowd will resist. Enjoy the show! Click on the jump for more pics of the night.

Here are 2 blurry and dark videos from upstairs
