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.
MORE VIDEOS, PICS, AND FUN TOUR STUFF COMING SOON!!!

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.
Ohio Funk Spotlight: Roger Troutman Video Soul Interview
I came up on this interview at like 3 in the morning.
If you’re from Ohio, specifically Dayton (my original hometown), a lot of what he’s saying is really relateable and inspirational. Specifically in part 2, which is after the jump. These are our parents. Crazy.
New Song “Gone”
A recent unfortunate circumstance brought about an interesting text conversation with my friend (and sometimes DJ) Rare Groove.

If you haven’t seen any previous Unsung’s I definitely advise changing that. It’s like VH1 Behind the Music for Artist’s who don’t have VH1 Reality Shows.
