In case you've come across my profile here on moli and have no clue who I am, let me recommend a mix that I did about a year an a half ago... It's a tribute mix to the late great J Dilla aka Jay Dee in which I teamed up with Questlove's website Okayplayer . Originally I had remixed a few tracks off of Donuts but when Kweli gave me a freestyle over an unreleased Dilla track and I mysteriously received a Notorious B.I.G. remix that Dilla had personally done, it turned into a bigger project. It's been a year and a half since we released it online as a free download and in that time the response has been tremendous. It has received almost 100,000 downloads and was nominated by VH-1 and Vibe Magazine for the 2007 Mixtape Of The Year award (I lost to Kanye West). Now, I didn't personally know Dilla but was a huge fan of his production and music. If you're one of the many who's isn't familar with his music then I highly recommend u check out this mix!

Prada Fall 2008 RTW via Style.com

Get your lace on ladies, lace is a key trend this fall season! On the runways, designers like Prada, Derek Lam, Giorigo Armani and Alexander McQueen all featured lace in their collections. The look of lace is feminine, antique, sexy and sophisticated but also can be played down depending on how you work the outfit. I personally prefer not to wear it head to toe- that's too much, one piece of lace per outfit is the way to go. Lace is so fabulous!

DimePiece L.A. Legs $65

I'm a huge fan of leggings, no matter in or out I'll still be rockin' them- they're a staple in my closet just like jeans. Luckily leggings is still strong haha, I can't get enough of them. Besides the basic black leggings I also love printed ones, the funkier the better. They look super hot with a plain top and shoes, they're different and attracts a lot of attention when you're roaming the city in them.

When I rocked the DimePiece L.A. Legs in just 2 hours I had about 10 people come up to me complimenting them and asking where they can get themselves a pair- super hot! Printed leggings make a simple outfit more interesting and definitely a trendy item!! Get yourself a pair!!

So the Fine folk at the website www.rapnews.fr came thru to the favela chic party to interview me, BUT being the slick person that I am, I flipped it around and put the camera on them. Here is a quick and unfortunately low lit glance at the people behind one of France's FINEST hip hop websites - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkEWeErIVA AND of course - Peep out the interview , which is pretty extensive and uses a lot of existing footage right HERE. or skip the french text and go directly to the videotape below

We did some site seeing, hit the record spots and the sneaker spots. Thats the one big thing that I'll appreciate about hip hop the most. We are complete strangers, different cultures, different languages... but thru THE MUSIC we find a common bond that makes us like longtime friends. Thats that sh*t right there... On top of everything, he asked me if I would like to through down at his party at this famous spot called Favela CHic ... and of course the chance to rock for Paris is something I wouldn't turn down... Stay tuned for that.... Peep the video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=posheZArYqQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBsKVCa3gc8 - watch it in high quality clickin here... From poland, we took a flight over to Copenhagen Denmark and then drove out to a place called Roskilde to join the Roskilde Festival This was the LAST day of the 4 day festival which encompassed all types of music - Radiohead, Judas Priest, My bloody Valentine, Neil Young, THe Chemical Brothers,and SLAYER - to name a few. On this final day, Jay-z and the roc boys took center stage - and by this time, the crowd was pretty freakin crazy. Among other things I would end up seeing - A group of folk doing a drunken ring around the rosy - with the end result being one of the girls in the group droppin her pantalones in the middle of the circle and a guy holding her up, while she peeed on the floor. Oh you crazy europeans ;) One of the other things that happened was our 1st HIT OF RAIIIN. Now usually , these festivals are mudfests , and the jay's production warned us that it would be a wet affair. Luckily we were 2 weeks into it and didn't really get any stormy clouds. BUT for this gig we did, and as an homage to the rain, jay-z had the ROC BOYS perform PRINCE's PURPLE RAIN. An instrumental version of course. Tooo bad I couldn't find a Youtube clip!!! Peep the video for that denmark festival feel....

although, at times she gives me the heebie jeebies. check out her new video for WANDERLUST which is amazing and creepy.
