So pick up one of these cards courtesy of Kuro Co. that we found on Etsy.com. A very cool concept utilizing the traditional V-Day card with a finishing touch from famous rap lyrics from some of the best (and worst).
Here’s the latest feature to the blog, The Elite Camp Retrospective. One of those things that we’ve been meaning to start up, so here it is.
This is one of those joints that brings you back to childhood, or teenage-hood, depending on your age. Patti Austin with her amazing voice, and James Ingram in his 80’s swagger. Definately a feel good track for a friday. Enjoy!
The Scottie Pimpins Live!
Featuring: Michelle Laxina Adan & Ron Verbal
Hosted By: Chuck Tanseco
Beats By: DJ MPOS
Sponsored By: Secret Service & Staple

ABOUT BLAP:
Most beat battles and producer showcases are taylored to industry professionals. But how would a general party crowd respond? B.L.A.P. (Beats Love Alcohol Party) was created to answer that question. Take four producers – a couple of known veterans and a few undiscovered talents, put them in front of a party and tell them to play their beats – its that simple. What separates B.L.A.P. from similar events is its casual nature. There is no stage and patrons are encouraged to dance. For the party goer unaware of the scene it becomes a new experience. For the industry pro, the laid back atmosphere provides a more comfortable arena to network & find their next hit producer. Created by Illmind, the producer for artists like 50 Cent, Redman, & The Jabbawockeez (ABDC’s 1st season champs) who knows who will show up for this event series. Soon enough, everyone will know at B.L.A.P. – the MPC becomes the turntable.

WHAT IS “BLAPS, RHYMES & LIFE”?
“Blaps, Rhymes & Life” is a digital compilation series that consists of major artists (50 Cent, Eminem, LL Cool J, etc) and underground artists (Skyzoo, Wale, Boot Camp Clik) that Illmind has produced for and is free for download.

Tastemakers from all over NYC, such as Neil Armstrong (Mixtape DJ legend, & Jay-Z’s official DJ), The Jabbawockeez, and many more were in attendance.
