FREDDIE GIBBS x MADLIB x GUNS..LOTS OF GUNS “THUGGIN”

A couple nights ago, I had a nightmare that Freddie Gibbs robbed and killed me.

The next day, I saw this video, and realized why.

Funny story:

Illogic and I had a show with Gibbs last Spring, afterI interviewed him for Citybeat a month earlier. Gibbs and I were sitting right next to each other at the Merch Table. Illogic told me I should introduce myself and tell him that I had just interviewed him a few weeks back. Since we just rocked a pretty big show with him, I though “Ok, cool, I can do that.”

So I introduced myself to him. And then he looked at me the same way he looks at the camera in this video. Then I went back to my seat. So that was that.

The End.

Enjoy the video. This song is amazing.

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.
