Pimps of the Year

November 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Here is a live performance of Jose James and Japan’s Soil and Pimp Sessions at the closing night of the Brownswood Loves Jazz Tour. This is some sick sh!t. Soil and Pimp released ‘Pimpoint’ a top 10 record of 2007 for me.

Afropunk: I wish I was in New York

AfroPunk

Alright, who is going to buy me plane ticket to come out to New York between now and July 7? This festival is amazing. Organized by the director of the documentary AfroPunk, James Spooner, it is in it 3rd year. If you haven’t seen this documentary, you really need to. Because we don’t play punk or rock on our show, doesn’t mean we don’t love it.

The lineup is crazy. Bands like The Objex, CX Kidtronix, Philmoore Browne, Stephannie Mckay, Suffrajett, Taylor McFerrin, Rich Medina, and Tiombe Lockhart plus plenty more. A very diverse line-up. Check out Sound Verite for more information about the artists and festival in detail.

Also premiering is the new film from James Spooner called White Lies,Black Sheep plus many other cool flicks.
