Vinyl Destination | Ep. 1 In Charlotte And Chicago, Season 2 With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
YES! Vinyl Destination with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Skillz and the crew is back mannn! First stop: Charlotte (North Carolina). Some came for the CIAA Basketball Tournament. Everybody came to party! The whole episode is tremendous viewing, but we lose it starting at 3:50.
They have younger events at CIAA… but if a younger person gets a chance to kinda come to one of those classic… you know, 90s parties… they probably gone see their mom… you know, rocking HARD… in a tight fit dress… that she wore when she met your dad… that she really can’t fit anymore… but she still wears it. Might be a little traumatic.

Hahahaaa! Hey, that’s the risks when you party at CIAA, young’n. Partied in Chicago, too. George Daniels (the O.G.) on stage. Dancing. Breaking it down. These vids are so much fun and hilarious. Click play above and enjoy the start of Vinyl Destination Season 2!
Vinyl Destination | Ep. 19: Vancouver, Canada… That’s A Wrap… Season Finale With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
Man. Even with your bros, even rolling in a luxury tour bus… the road can get old. And too long a trip across the Canadian outback, it can get COLD! Same crappy food… crazy sound setups… gotta ask why a deejay does what he does sometimes. Then, take another look… at the beauty everywhere. The people partying everywhere. It is what Jazzy Jeff, Skillz and the crew were meant to do. Wrapping Canada in Vancouver, with quick stop in Seattle to get the mixer fixed… then a New Year’s Eve extravaganza featuring a drum and DJ set (none other than fellow Philly native Questlove on the drums). THAT’s a season finale! Watch.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 18: Across the Canadian Countryside With the Magnificent ‘DJ Jazzy Jeff’ (Video)
For Episode 18, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz and the rest of the guys continue on the tour bus… across Canada’s back highways and woodlands… In their company, deejays, an emcee, and Jeff can make beats. So, there WILL be music available; with video games and TV, there should be much male bonding. But before leaving civilization, the gang MUST hit up the Wal-Mart for supplies (of course).
Now, eventually, we do get to see the fellas work a couple of parties. But this trip is mostly hanging out in different spots as they go about day-to-day activities. Highlight: With the artistic and engineering genius it takes to put on their shows, why does doing the LAUNDRY puzzle these dudes so? Hilarious.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 17: Globetrotting From Capetown To Canada With DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
For Episode 17, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz finish strong in South Africa. Capetown… promo, press, radio, demo show at a school… all to work up interest and ensure high attendance for the party. And what a party!
‘Our job is, pretty much, is to go around the world and make people have a good time.’
And after a job well done in South Africa, the fellas hop that ocean to get a week’s rest… then back at it! Cross country, east to west coast, Canadian tour… but in a NICE tour bus. More ‘chill time’ on this tour, but even down time on the bus is time for Jeff to work on beats in his rolling suite! Everybody can’t do this, but thanks to Vinyl Destination, everybody can ride along.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 15: From Europe To South Africa With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
In episode 15 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Skillz take us through Switzerland and London … then off to Cape Town (South Africa). Starting with spider bites on the lip? Breakfast for 97 bucks? Damn… and damn! And according to Jeff, this trip still wasn’t as scary as his other South African show with Will Smith back in the day. At least nothing crawled up his leg during these sets. Break beats, break dancers, watching record-breaking super-sonic skydiving (like we did on here), building with DJ Premier.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 14: Off To Madrid With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
In episode 14 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff takes us to Madrid to kick off a European tour. And Skillz has a confession:
‘I got vinyl. I have plenty of vinyl… I literally remember going to Food Lion stealing milk crates… so I could put my records in them. Yeah, I did that!’
Okay, so it was wrong. But Skillz really wanted to be a deejay back in the day. Now, the dinner conversation was fun… but Jeff rocking the show later? C’mon! Off the meter! And the vid isn’t even half over by that point. Another great trip for Vinyl Destination.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 13: Celebrating Independence Day With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
In episode 13 of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff was back home with family… so to speak… doing his thing on stage with his fam The Roots in the hometown Philly. Everybody from Queen Latifah to Common to Daryl Hall was in town for the Fourth of July celebration show. Great practice footage; and the fanfare and fireworks at the concert were appropriate for the incredible show enjoyed by all. An unparalleled celebration of America in the city of its birth. But the party didn’t stop there. It was off to Dusk (a venue in Atlantic City). On the way, Jeff shared some touching sentiments about his late friend DJ AM.
