OH HALIFAX!! I had the best time at the Jazz Fest on July 9th 2010. I opened for my native tongue brethren De La Soul. They never cease to amaze and inspire me. Their set was GRAND!!!

When I first stepped up to the decks people were in plastic chairs, kinda lounging Jazz Fest style. I wondered what did I get myself into. I knew it was jazz and laid back but this is the hip-hop opener. I could not allow people to just sit there. Needless to say the people in Halifax did not come to chill they came to party and that is exactly what we did so much that I made the front cover of the newspaper the next day. WOW

Shouts out to The Extremities, Uncle Fester and Fresh Kils for their opening set.

Thank you Halifax for the great time. Bring me back..
