Well, it's about that time we all strap on our Timberland boots and played some good ole rap music at the club, don't you think? And yo. Rap specialists Seko, Relly Rel$ & Niña Mendoza will proceed to 'cold rock a party' 'on the wheels of steel' tonight and if last week was any indication of this weeks festivities, it is bound to be a fun/ thun one. Hip hop and ya don't stop. 

I can't even tell if I'm being sarcastic or not. But our mutual love and wilding out for that good old NY rap will musically erase any crappy ad copy you may have read today.

I personally look forward to hearing/ dropping some Boot Camp Clik, Mobb Deep, Nas, Capone-N-Noreaga, Digable Planets, Terror Squad, G-Unit (Don't hate, they have some hits), Beatnuts, Bad Boy (Sorry, you didn't invent the remix tho), DITC, Gangstarr, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST (Can't believe that wasn't first on the list), Black Star, Brand Nubian, Fabolous (don't hate!), Jada-muah, Biggie & his M.A.F.I.A., LB Fam, you get the idea and don't bite my head off for not naming your faves, write them on the event wall!
