The Rapper Friends Tour with Kosha Dillz and DJ Valis of Dope Sandwich Crew

Posted in Uncategorized on August 8, 2008 by flexmathews01

Well what can I say? I feel like I made some really good friends on this tour and learned a lot about myself. We did 10 shows over a 14 days and it was great. It started with the first show NJ and ended in my town in Washington D.C. Uptown! Kosha Dillz is a great performer with very enjoyable songs. The type of artist you would like to see perform multiple over and over again. Dillz and I are planing a project titled “Jewish Gospel”. We both with land on MTV after it drops. Dj Valis? I can’t put into words how cool this dude is, but let me try. A diligent road warrior and soldier (no pun intended). Has a dope crew by the name of ” Dope Sandwich Crew” who are doing big things in Savannah, GA all day. He is great on the decks and just a stand up guy. Big UPS! to his girl Rebeka for just being wonderful person as well. You gotta love the both them together or apart. Yup, All praises to the Most High for all things. This was a very fun tour and LOOK OUT!!! We are doing it again. Stay tuned. I will post pics soon.

 

PEACE LOVE and NAPPIENES

The Cool Kids show

Posted in Uncategorized on June 12, 2008 by flexmathews01

   So ya boy rocked the show with who? That’s right, Chi-towns own Cool Kids at the Ottobar located deep in charm city Baltimore, MD and after kicking it with them at a BBQ a day later (Sorry FFC clan members) I was chosen to hop on stage and freestyle during their show in DC at the Black Cat while they were having some technical difficulties ( Thank God for bad wiring…YA!). Now for those who missed the fire works at the Ottobar it was a show full of energy, hipsters, and skill generated by every artist that touched the stage. Peace the Dj crew Taxlo and Greenspan for getting bizzy on the stage before I did. Taxlo had non Hip-Hop Dj set and still rocked it at a hip-hop show. Now that’s Hip-Hop. Greenspan stepped up next shades gleaming, fresh rhymes, and heavy bass loaded beats that would rattle any trunk from here to Timbuktu (by the way that is a real place. Do your research smart people). Up next wasDj Vroc and me The Handsome Grandson. After announcing I was from the Nations cap I proceeded to get booooooeed seeing how there some strange dislike or beef between the two cities.  So I made through the first song (Tough!), some of the negativity faded, but not completely as one patron proceed to spew LOUD! boooos out of his-mouth. So me being the nice guy that I asked who it was, the crowd got quiet, but I proceeded to ask who it was as his friends pointed to him. That wasn’t good enough for me, I wanted him to come forward, and walk the plank. MAN UP! A hipster screams out it was me and fold his arms in a WWE like fashion, it was great. I replied why are you way back there come to the front and booo, he declines. So on to the next song thus I dedicated to him for his outstanding people skills and large amounts of love he had for my music. Stepping to the edge of stage point at him while spitting wreck rhymes that just happened to fit his character, he gets moody as the crowd start with their high school like ooohhh and laughter. Well most of them were high schoolers so it was fitting. Feeling as if he was tested (which he may have), comes to stage as I enter my third verse. Now the crowd is reallyegging it on…so hip-hop. Now me feeling tested I turn to the crowd ask them if they want me to battle him and of course you know the answer to that…YES!!!! So I lit into him trying to hit every bulls eye punchline that I could land one him, beside that’s all they wanted to hear anyway. Trust me I know. So after hitting him with about four to five punchlines I went back into my song, the crowd was in a uproar.  So I handed him the mic and the crowd BOOO! five times harder than he ever could. I offered him a beat so he could kick a rhyme, but hs only reply was ” The was wack”, then he was hit with more booossss. I went on with my set. Recieving nothing but love from the crowd now, my dj and I rocked on. The guy and I later on made peace that night and turned out to be a pretty cool dude. MAN I LOVE B-MORE!!!!! Below there is footage of me battling my b-more friend and the freestyle session at the Black Cat.PEACE
