*I had to do a manual update on this blog and it is frustrating me!*
Anyway, this week is the Citypaper Music Issue, which is why I didn’t write anything last week. I really wanted to represent in this issue. I was surprised and delighted when both local artists that I chose got picked to be featured, Happ G/Jake Lefco and DJ Skeme. I picked them both because they are extremely hard workers and really are talented. I haven’t written about either and thought they deserved it. When you are told to pick 2 artists, and you know about 100…it’s a grueling process! Added to that, I consider them all friends, which made it even harder. Plus, Happ is a critic. I love him, but he notices everything, so I knew I couldn’t skid by with something mediocre. With Skeme, it was hard not to portray him as just a Break DJ, because he’s so good at that. Plus, I did his article second, and time was pressed. During intermission of Color Purple in NYC on Sunday, I busted out my pad and pen and was writing it. Alas…they are done and I am VERY please with how they came out, and the photos, which are by Michael T. Regan. Hopefully this will help build up Citypaper's reputation in the hip-hop community! Next week I’ll be doing some concert and CD reviews I think, so look out for them. Until next time, Deesha
