articles for week of 1/21/08




The first full week of being 30 is indeed fun. Anyway, busy at work for year end and possibly...well, nevermind. More on that later. I wrote 5 things this week. One is the Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow show which is now sold out, the Money Folders2 and OFS shows, which are both underground hip-hop, a Wordplay on Scanz, an MC in Philly - who is just adorable, and the Boys2Men/Angie Stone show. I think it is actually her show, but because they are from Philly I only wrote about them. I also got asked to be on a hip-hop journalism panel at Temple! How dope is that? Have a great weekend and stay warm, Deesha
PS. The MLK Symposium is tomorrow. Please come on through!!!

Writing for the 2008 - up to 1/16/08






Happy New Year, and what a beautiful one it has been so far. 2008 is here and I'm 30 as of yesterday! Anyway, who cares about that? I did some writing so far this year, and actually some of this might be from last year like the Ninth Wonder party, which was also DJ Ultraviolet and Reef's Bday parties and the Greyboy AllStars concert. This year, I did a Wordplay with Illit, a write up on MLK Day coming up (which was edited pretty heavy...not complaining, just saying) and also a very choppy write up on the townhall meeting with the new police commissioner. I was supposed to have a write up for Hip-Hop Lives , but I don't know what happened to that! I have a lot to do for next week and Although I just came back from vacation, I have a travel bug too..ugh!
Enjoy, Deesha
