WE HELLA WANNA KICK IT | WILLIE MAZE NEW THURSDAY POPOFF

If you know me, you know WILLIE MAZE he's one of my all-time favorite people, a great dude, an amazing community organizer, and a walkin' talkin' Bay Area hip-hop legend! And yet he's still hella humble. Go figure.....

Illy Willy (not to be confused with THIS dude) is one of tha more creative DJs you will ever hear, and one thing i hella appreciate is he STAYS pushin' tha music envelope and lacing new sounds into tha mix. He finally has time to get his OWN night poppin, at tha ever-bubblin' Kittys in Emeryville (where Sir William of Oaklandshire and none other than Matthew Africa can be found beating crowds into a bloody pulp on Fridays and Saturdays), and he's been so cute as to invite ME down to rock wit him tonite. So, ahem....LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HELLA WANNA KICK IT ::: EVERY THURSDAY NITE @ KITTY'S BAR IN EMERYVILLE | RESIDENT DJ WILLIE MAZE (LOCAL 1200) | GUEST DJ SAKE ONE (APR 16)

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU MARVIN....

Mourners at Marvin Gaye's funeral, April 1984
Disciple of Saint Marvin that I am, I can't let tha 70th anniversary of his birth (and 25th anniversary of his passing) drift by without a post paying homage to arguably tha greatest male vocalist of tha last 50 years. I won't bore you with my opinions here but I think his track record speaks for itself. Please continue to listen to, play, remix, and sing Marvin's music...tha world will be better for it.
