The night opens with a live beat / deep listening session (7:30–9:30 PM), where I’ll be experimenting with new sounds from my Wake n Bake Vol. 1 project and sharing rare gems from my archive.

Then, the party shifts into night time vibes with DJ sets by the incredible Dylan Ali and Stonie Blue, whose selections are always inspiring, experimental, and guaranteed to keep ya ass shaking on dance floor. I’ll also be spinning a set dedicated to the early-mid 2010s blog, Tumblr, and SoundCloud eras—an ode to my party-era tribe (Sway Kids🔥🔥🔥🔥)

Plus, The New Cari.com magazine will host a pop-up celebrating their latest art issue alongside treasures from their archive.

This is a Xtra Creative House Idea

Big up the God @run_p !

It’s gonna be a maaaad ting! You should never miss my DJ sets, and let me know who you’d love to see at the next Library & Archive NYC (L&A:NYC)!

oh yeah and subscribe to that youtube channel ho

We are firm proponents of the fact that lyrics should contain substance, escalate with progression and tell some sort of story. Whether it be your story, a story - it is just important to hear a FRESH NEW story. 

In this segment, hear why we are tracking Senate Bill 1738 – rap lyrics on trial. Although the bill has passed the Senate – we are so far removed from the inner workings that this holds absolutely no bearing whatsoever. Regardless, passage in the Senate symbolizes strong movement for this bill that limits the admissibility of lyrics as evidence. If it fully passes through Assembly and adoption –…

Spanish Ran Builds NY Underground Brick By Brick

Those who move in silence will always prevail. Spanish Ran earned his way to the platform he currently inhabits. As a former A&R at Roc Nation Randy Rodriguez recruited Rapsody to the label and put Lenny S on attention early about Westside Gunn and Roc Marciano.  Before that, he had an internship at Def Jam and soaked up knowledge throughout every encounter. Nowadays, he exists within…
