A Late Treat for the DMV Heads


January 10, 2008 | Tags: DC, judah, 2007

Well can you believe it? It’s barely a week into 2008 and shit is already poppin off. Drama has shown its face, accomplishments have already been made, I’m already reminiscing about the past, and hope for the future is abundant. Needless to say, all of these things have kept me a little busy. Not to mention, for some reason a lack of inspiration has hit me. Doesn’t quite go together, I know. This may end up being a short post, but you know I can’t be silent around here for too long. I’m on my blog grind, son.

ANYWAY.

Here’s a little something that may make the people reppin the 202/703/301/(571?!) smile a little: the district’s own Judah has thrown a Skillz-esque 2007 wrap-up out into the world. The catch? It’s a DMV wrap up! And he’s even been nice enough to provide the world with a download link, which you can find here. It’s a nice trip down short-term memory lane.

I’m really looking forward to the area doing big things in 2008. How about you help it out though? If you know of somebody doing big things in DC/Maryland/VA as far as music is concerned, hit me up on the email. I’d love to hear about it. And you’re helping me out, because in about two weeks school starts back up for me and I will no longer have time for frivolous searching of the internet and roaming the streets doing whatever the fuck it is that I do. Sad, right? Yeah…I’m not really looking forward to it. It’s all good though, I’ve put in far too much work towards that piece of paper to get discouraged now…soon enough I’ll be out of there and free again. Well, as free as a slave to the corporate system can be.

Let me stop rambling. And actually, let me get a bit sentimental for a moment.

I really want to take a second to thank anybody that has been supporting me in my progression – whether it’s professionally or just as a person in general. Anybody that has taken the time out of their day to give me valuable words of advice that they had to learn from tough experience, anybody that told me to keep my head up when the world was getting me down, and even the people who hit me on the e-mail to show some brief words of support and love. Even if you just gave me some good listening material. Anything. It really means a whole hell of a lot to me, and I really wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for the help and guidance some of you have given me. I’m just not sure that I tell you all that enough.

I think it’s this funky ass weather that has me acting all weird all of a sudden. Anybody else having that problem? Seventy degree weather in January in Virginia just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…maybe that’s why I’m not making a whole lot of sense. Oh well, so be it. Soon it’ll be cold again and then I’ll be back to my cold-hearted ass self. At least that side of me is logical.

Oh, and to the infamous Bmore – forget getting down to some lovey-dovey R&B. Put on some old Cormega, or some CNN…even some old Lox tracks…and it’s on. Nobody ever said I’m normal. Don’t act like I didn’t see that comment.

In case I'm not around for it, have a great weekend, DX.
