Going Postal At The ArtHaus

I love spinning at sticker shows and i'll be dropping lot's of rap and graffiti cuts at this "Going Postal" event. It's at the Art Haus Gallery in downtown Phoenix which specializes in Graffiti Art only, how ill is that?!


Thank You Stan Lee!



Wow. Seems like you've been around forever. I guess I saw this coming but it's still painful nonetheless. My parents spent a pretty penny keeping me happy with your incredible colorful characters. Daredevil was my favorite and I remember going on a mission for about 6 months to find every issue until I owned them all. Then I did the same thing with PowerMan and Iron Fist. Iron-Man is next and then Spider-Man(that's going to be a hard one!) I will miss you. Thank You Stan Lee!    





Raps Greatest Top 3 featuring Drunk Jeff


Drunk Jeff was one of the first Dj's I met after moving to Phoenix in 1998.  He himself was new to the area having just arrived from Bakersfield. Back then, you would always find Jeff draped in Adidas from head to toe, a record bag on his shoulder, and a 40oz in his hand. These days he's a family man with a huge room full of records. He turned me on to MF Doom, Freestyle Fellowship, and The Living Legends so you know I had to hit him up for his top 3 rap songs of all time. Take it away Jeff……





Ok… with all seriousness this is hard as hell to do.





#1 Live At The BBQ - Main Source

A lyrical storm from Hip Hops goldern era… First time Nasty Nas was introduced to the masses. One of the greatest posse cuts of all time.                                                    






#2 Sucker M.C.'s - RUN-DMC

One of the first songs that was serious straight forward lyrics. Turned a new leaf in Hip Hop. The stripped down rawness of the drum machine and Jam Master Jay's cuts.






#3 Poppa Large - Ultramagnetic MC's

Crazy off the wall uptempo futuristic party rocker. Kool Keith was and is on one. I get hyped with the intro every time I hear it, and then the drums kick in…..man!



Diggers Delight - Darrell D



Well whatdoyaknow, it's looks like yours truly is in the spotlight for this episode of "Diggers Delight"! I'm going to call this part 1 because I got a lot of cool stuff to show you but this will be a good start.




Here's a small portion of my Fat Albert toy collection. Most of this stuff came out in the 70's of course (peep the crazy Fat Albert toothbrush!), but the larger figures were released pretty recently. There are still a few pieces I'm looking for so the search continues….




These pics were taken during a visit from some of the my record homies. Tige Fresh, Drunk Jeff,  & Dj Organic always wild out when they come thru.







This picture says a lot.  Pictured at the top is some of my many autographed rap record covers. As you can see, I really dig collecting action figures too. Many are from my childhood years that I didn't have the opportunity to own then so I continue to hunt them down now. The Mego brand produced some really ill figures, the band KISS being at the top of the list. I also own the Starsky & Hutch figures, the Welcome Back Kotter figures, Star Trek, and some DC & Marvel figures which include a mint condition Falcon in the box.  





This is about half of my mixtape collection. All rap related and most are from New York but they also include a nice amount from L.A. including classics from the Roadium Swap Meet, the midwest (Milwaukee and Chicago area) which include mixes from Rock Dee and the Cash Money Brothers, Japan & Europe, and a few hundred Stretch & Bobbito radio show tapes.     





Part 2 coming soon!
