The MixRev crew was at Klever’s Sloppy Seconds party in Atlanta @ MJQ this January, here is just a little footage from the event.

In the Major Leagues of Hip-Hop and Music itself, the City of Chicago could have been seen as League Champions. With the huge success of Mr. West’s third effort, Lupe’s excellent sophomore effort and the underground and blogs of the world constantly chatting about the vast talents coming from the Windy City. Look to 2008 to be even greater for the Chi, with a few huge events and talent that is ready to take on the world.

Last night I spent some time with three future Chicago prospects at Cinespace in LA. Look for the upcoming video of the night’s insanity brought to you courtesy of Million $$$ Mano, Hollywood Holt and Mic Terror. Mic gives up his true life’s passion. Holt discusses the mean streets and life of his Moped Gang. Then Mano gives up the secret to sustaining his lavish lifestyle and the future collabos he is brewing to change the RAP GAME!

In the meantime get a feel for some of my favorite new rappers in ‘08 by visiting their myspace pages! My fellow DJs, forget the radio crap and start spinning some artist with a true love for the art because some of these Hip-Pop rappers ego’s are too big! Hit up Mo from The Movement to get some of the guys tracks!

Greetings Everyone! I-Dee here, taking a quick second to give you a run down on whats going on in my day-to-day well being for the past couple of weeks…

Went to Taiwan for two shows on Oct. 19/20 in the cities of Taipei and Taichung. I was supposed to do these shows during my Asia Tour in August but I couldn’t make it out of the airport in Shanghai because of the nasty Typhoon that was hitting Taiwan and the Phillippines at the time. Oh well.

I left Miami on Wednesday evening, had a connecting flight in San Francisco and a direct red-eye flight from there to Taipei. Now first off, I really hate Miami International. In particular, American Airlines because they always fuck up with my luggage. Low and behold, they lost one of my bags once I arrived. I was still able to perform, however, I had to go out and buy new clothes instead of relaxing from the exhausting flight. Not to mention, the first show was in Taichung which was about a 45 minute train ride from Taipei. Luckily, the hotel was pretty baller:

CMJ in review: in case you missed it.

Back from the AC and we are a little under the weather. I caught a cough. Donavon went back early to DJ a gig. All in all, it was a great experience as we met some old time Mix Revolution members that supported us from the jump. Boy does time fly. Last year, Mix Revolution’s membership was at 400 DJs by the end of the conference. We are now 1500 DJs strong and we plan on KILLING IT once Mix Revolution Version 1.0 launches!!! For those that weren’t there at the Expo, we exhibited some new shirts and showed them the new site, set to launch in a couple weeks. We are just tieing up some loose ends. Pictures and video posts are to follow.
