First Friday [6 Feb 2010]

Every first Friday...
Downtown Phoenix, AZ hosts an event; FIRST FRIDAY.
First Friday is organized by Artlink, a nonprofit organization "...dedicated to bringing together artists, the public, and businesses for a greater understanding, appreciation, and promotion of the arts and the development of a strong and vital downtown Phoenix arts community."

It's a like a great big block party of the arts; one big cultural event where you tour & check out downtown PHX, valley artists can show their artwork for sale, musicians can preform, crafts, clothes, food is sold, all types of music is played...

quick mugshot snapshot of who I went with

We got split up so many times walking downtown
[Thank God for cellphones]
So many vendors selling goods of all sorts of thangs.
its was like a swapmeet of arts & talent.
Definitely great to witness and be a part of something like this.

There were plenty of music playing
whether it be a band preforming or just a DJ in the mix

DJ was playing some old school hip-hop & mixing it wit electro
kid did his thang in this hip-hop circle

Photobucket
Far East Movement
is a Los Angeles (via Koreatown) based party, eletro/hip-hop, rap, electronic dance based group of rappers, songwriters & producers.
AND GET THIS... they Asian!
haha pretty cool huh?
They've worked &/or tour'd with Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Sean Paul,
New Boyz, Pitbull, Lil Jon, LMFAO, Ya Boy, Paradiso Girls,
Space Cowboy, Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida and Shwayze.
Their music is sweeping the CaliZona club scene QUICK!
and hopefully soon to be on the airways [the radio nationally]
Basically if you like LMFAO they're more of a rap/hip-hop version of them.

Far East Movement - "Like a G6"

#MusicMonday: Blackstreet - "No Diggity"


Blackstreet - "No Diggity"



"No Diggity"
is still the jam

"I like the way you work it (no diggity)
I got to bag it up
I like the way you work it (no diggity)
I got to bag it up (bag it up girl)"

Blackstreet was my group tho
dudes could really sing and had some hits back the day

like remember
Blackstreet - "Don't Leave Me"



I sing & maaaaaaan I used to get my sang on to that joint.

Sad to say music just aint the same
...or the way it used to be when real music streamed the airways
and singing acapella was a requirement
NOT just put together boyband

#MusicMonday: Alicia Keys - "Fallin'"

Alicia Keys - "Fallin'"



& to think this was just her start
[braids x the piano TO hips x the piano]
this lil New Yorkers always had style, grace & class
song still gives me chills
[the voice, the emotion, the piano]
You most definitely felt the love & pain: man or female
no matter if your in or out of love.
"Fallin'" had the radio on LOCKDOWN back in '01
and will always have my heart
[ Songs in A Minor is must have to your music collection ]
She's definitely an amazing artist
and one HELL of a Superwoman!

love ya Alicia
