Soundclashing: LDN Edition



(Lawd this was saved as a draft with unfinished text for the longest. I haven't been on my blog in almost a yr!)
Just kindly invited me to the London leg of his Sound clash tour. It was the first time I'd attended anything like this and let's just say there were grown men in the audience that were almost in tears/proper emo. Was great to be in the booth watching the crowd reaction when they went from original sample > looping sample > and then finally going into their track. Both dates were sold out and I had a blast. Funniest thing was when I was next at work telling my Boss, Anna (at Dior) what I did on my days off were her faced pinched&she looked like she was about to cry. She then told me she was the BIGGEST Alchemist fan and was bummed I didn't tell her sooner. Who said Haute Couture dun' luv hip hop?! :)

[Some flicks below. You can see me in the last pic looking hella South Indian/&I got asked twice if I was Bangladeshi].

Twenty Ten.

Masha'Allah awesome so far, so many projects happening. All will be reveleaved soon.
Reflecting on the year that just went by, no negrets, none whatsoever. My mind is free, my family is beautiful and I'm so loved, alhamdulilah what more can I ask for?

I'm going to buy a perfect little pad. I want to write and enter pieces of beautiful moments. Not poetry, just words exchanged or photos taken. This is the only thing I'm starting this year. Lets cherish these moments.

Style Icon: Adam from 'Adam and the Ants'




Adam from 'Adam and the Ants' is one of the most original to have ever done it. Think about the amount of folks who jock his style now.

Wow it's been months since my last couple of 'Later...' entries.

I miss my Dad.

Sounds so pitiful but I do. He's away in Somalia doing him, probably fidgeting with his glasses right now.





So I'm re-reading Social Anthropology by Edmund Leach right now. For Dad.

Is MJ really dead?It still hasn't sunk in.

Pretty Flaco does his tribute, his rendition of 'Billie Jean'- Moonwalk and all. I like.
