Ill Po @ Mainstay Rockbar in Cinci This Saturday 11/12
I haven’t performed live since the SLAM Festival in Cincinnati way back in early August.
This is easily the longest I’ve gone without performing.
But there’s a lot of good reasons for that. Though they won’t be coming ’til 2012. So come enjoy the only show I’ll be doing from now up until February:
This Saturday, November 12th, I’ll be joining my good friends Soundscape for a show in Cinci @ Mainstay Rockbar. If you’ve ever been to a Soundscape Show, you already know.
And as Far-I-Rome Productions (one of my favorite promoters in the state) is throwing this event, expect the entire evening to be AMAZING.
Get your FB RSVP on right here.
Brother Abdullah of Elementz Youth Arts Center Featured in ‘Emerging Cincinnati Black Leaders’
Anyone who follows this site may have seen mentioned from time to time the Elements Youth Arts Center in Cincinnati, OH. I’ve been apart of their events for the past six years and have watched them continue to grow into one of the greatest assets in the city. My good friend (from way back in the UC Daniels Dorm days) is the program director, and has basically been running the center for the past few years now. He was recently interviewed by the Cincinnati Enquirer (my former palace of servitude) as an Emerging Cincinnati Black Leader. Here’s what he had to say about it, and below that is the link to the story.
Throwback: Bootsy Collins UNSUNG
In keeping up w/ all the Ohio Funk UNSUNG Episodes, I finally came up on a link to Bootsy’s.

Ohio Takeover Cincinnati Show Review
I think I speak for everyone on this tour when I say that Cincinnati was my favorite show of the run. Personally, it was one of my favorite Cincinnati shows period. Very surreal. One of the folks I hung out with at the merch table was a guy by the name of Antonio, who’s mentor/teacher is one of my heroes Kathy Wilson (google).
He wrote a really amazing review for the Cinci News Record, and I just wanted to post it up. Appreciate the kind words!!
I’ll be posting an entire tour diary in the coming days as well, in conjunction with the Citybeat Website. For now, hit the jump or CLICK HERE to read the full article.

Thanks to the great venue, Tobe & The Animal Crackers, and all my friends who came out..people I haven’t seen in a while. Everyone gave great shows. Great night all around. One of my favorite Cinci hip-hop nights in years.
Classic Cincinnati Hip-Hop Show this Friday @ Play by Play
What is this picture above? True, it’s a compilation of random Cincinnati signs that say Queen City. More importantly, this was the vinyl cover to one of the greatest songs to come out of Cincinnati. (PS – If anybody has an extra copy of this vinyl, I WILL BUY IT FROM YOU!!!!!). This was also the second time I really heard Piakhan (The First being on the Reflection Eternal debut).

Cincinnati Cypher 2010
A couple weeks ago, I was out in Cincinnati. I got an offer to hop in on this Cincinnati Cypher (a la the BET ciphers at the award show a couple months ago). The homie Ilyas shot the video and host of Cinci emcees all got down, including some really good friends. Part 2 is after the Jump.
