FOOL’S GOLD

DC’s Wale and FG’s Nick Catchdubs (holler at your boy) just dropped The Mixtape About Nothing today, and you can download it for free (part 1 and part 2) or get a physical copy bundled with a limited-edition 10.Deep “Serenity Now” shirt. Don’t take the Seinfeld theme too literally though, it’s definitely Wale’s De La Soul Is Dead moment: “If you love substance, you love Wale/ But most niggas love nothing, so I made this tape.”

This week Kid Sister is in NYC to finish up her album, check out the Sex And The City premiere, and - most importantly - perform at Hot 97’s Summer Jam this Sunday (6/1) at Giants Stadium. We’re going to encourage her to perform “Takeover” while flashing baby photos of Prodigy on the Jumbotron. If you want to come to the show, text “Kid Sister” to 66937 for a chance to win passes.

A man, a plan, a canal, Panama…oh, hello!

Check the giant version of the flyer with details and such here

This evening (Wed 5/28) you can check out our man Sammy Bananas at the Riverdeck in Philly (417 N. Columbus Blvd - RSVP here) rocking the “Block Party” party with the Philadelphyinz. Good times. If you prefer “buying things” to “nightlife” - hell, maybe like me you enjoy both! - Sammy’s High Top Fades is out now, and it’s sequel, Braids & Fades is on its way, along with these snazzy t-shirts.

What up LA-liens? Bummed you missed “Day ‘N’ Nite” live at LAX over the weekend? Check out Kid Cudi at Cinespace tonight (Tues 5/27), as he wraps up a quick LA trip. Flyer after the jump.
