De La Soul is coming to town. First they’re in the new Frank151 issue (so stoked about the artwork) Pretty stoked. Saturday night the big homie DJ Psychology is throwing down + hosting the evening.

So the photos is hilarious and ridiculous as far as I’m concerned, but its also to the point. This was the boat, I don’t have any better shots yet. When I do, you will too. for now, sit back and enjoy this mix. It was live, there are hiccups as any thing live has (Don’t believe me, google ‘George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People’)

Big thanks to everyone who came out and had fun. Double thanks to Raekwon for showing up at the gig, and triple thanks to Lance, Alex and the Five-n-Dime Crew for letting me throw down.

So there was no cell phone reception so this post is kinda way late, but walk with me people. Here is my night post Mentos Gum Event.

Absolut Vodka, the vodka of choice in my days of youth. Not for taste, but always for marketing reasons put this together as their kick off to a series of events under their new slogan, “IN AN ABSOLUT WORLD: Opportunities always pop up”

They took over Bay Subway station in Yorkville, Toronto and threw down a super exclusive invite only party featuring, DJ Illo, Steve Aoki & a live performance by Keys N Krates.

As you showed at the door, guestlisted people got wristbands and an escort down to the lower level. (This was necessary because ACTUAL subway cars were going by on either side.) after this point, you lost cell phone reception. very dope because you didnt see everyone on their crackberry’s.

This was the scene walking in. Rammed from end to end.

Each side had 2 subway cars each with their own theme

and I ran into some old friends. Big shoutout to Mike for taking care of me and my homie jackie for the evening. Dude makes a hell of a drink.

Wow what a weekend I just had. This photo above (shoutout to @iamrilla) captures the evening from my perspective. I had the opportunity to DJ the Mentos Gum fun park in Toronto’s Dundas Square.

Pretty much the biggest venue I’ve ever played without a doubt. They had nearly 3,000 play on some inflatable games and with over 150,000 people walking by daily, it was busy as s***.

Here are some daytime shots also by iamrilla

and one more by my homie Jackie.

The set was long as hell. I’ll be chopping up some live bits of it for you all to enjoy.

Big shoutout to Mentos + staff and the whole city of Toronto.

Also peep this video on global tv. Go to 5:15 mark (3rd dot)

My homie DJ Marvel was blessed with a once in a lifetime opportunity. Checkout his video capturing the moment.
