Big ups to Hesham & Jamal, the ones that put it down before me and also helped me shape Trip The Lights. I took a break from TTL because i felt that at the time there was no venue to host the event. For those that never experienced a TTL, it was a Hip_Hop multimedia explosion. Every month was themed different, a few examples were – 80’s Rap, 90’s Boom Bap, Bring an instrument night, Downtempo/Abstract Night, 90’s covers night, and live music night. Along with the themed month we had live art and installation – majority of the Artists that blessed TTL has gone on to big things. Names such as Angrywoes, Matt Tapia, Kaso, StanStill, Eukarest, NeonBlack, Shaun Castro, KOAK, and the list goes on…

Super last minute riding off the wave of Undivided, we kidnapped Jus1o and his wife Cellski to bless the Turntables.

Jel of Anticon, murdered, i said MURDERED the MPC! I will chop up the video, seriously next level.

Nocando, of GrindTime fame and new school Project blowed had an energetic and crowd rocking performance. Proceeding to hit on the only girl in the room. You had to be there!

To top off the night. The Rifleman – Ellay Khule, served up a healthy plate of Chop! He did a discography from 92 to 2000 or something. Just as the lights went up, Joe Dub and I gave Khule a 30 second left sign and he proceeded to rap from 30 down to 1 and killed it with impromptu rhymes!
Yes the show was last minute, but it was the best show next to Aesop Rock! Actually it was better only because there was no Pipeline foolios. You knew everyone in the place was there for the artists. All the performaces were deadly! Whew!
