Vinyl Destination | Episode V: DJ Jazzy Jeff Gets Lost In Asia (Video)
March 5, 2013
The World Famous DJ Jazzy Jeff finishes up his Asian tour with his crew after hitting various cities in Thailand & finishing up in Tokyo. There was a short scare for everyone when the world famous DJ played a game of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ after he went missing almost before showtime in Japan. Not sure if it’s a joke or not, but in a rather ironic twist of things the cameras catch DJ Jazzy Jeff in a record store with an image of someone else impersonating DJ Jazzy Jeff & selling his mixes in Japan.

AraabMUZIK – The Prince Is Coming
February 7, 2013
Providence DJ and beat monster AraabMuzic (born Abraham Orellana) leaks the first single – “The Prince Is Coming†– from his forthcoming mixtape “For Professional Use Only†(due out February 15, 2013). This joint is a certified banger & I always expect nothing less than the best from this producer. The track reminds me of my first trip to Dubai last year. I could have used this track in my iphone when I touched down in the city to signal the arrival of the one & only Prince King Jayforce. Maybe I’ll use this track when I eventually get around to editing all the video footage I have from the trip. For now peep the track & my photo under the hood below…
