Jill Scott has absolutely rocked this clip, its visually cool to watch. The A Group are some badass mamas and hot damn Eve in that body suit! Love you Jill!

Where its at!

I've been slacking with blogging. Since February I've celebrated my 30th Birthday, flew to Melbourne to party with my friends, changed jobs and been totally un-inspired. So thats where my head has been at.

I had a moment of inspiration tonight and taught myself how to play 'the bridge is over' on keys. I've finally started on my visa application for the move to Canada at the end of the year, paperwork galore.

LIFE!

It is what it is, until it stops being what it is and becomes something else.

RIP Nate Dogg

We lost one of the most iconic sounding voices of west coast hip hop today.

here come the drums

So I'm blessed to know some very talented people. Check out my boy Manny, who is the drummer for Chester French, Amerie & Travie McCoy. Probably one of the most hilarious people I know.

Men!

'Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.'

I came across this statement yesterday and I cant be mad at that, it is 100% true. If you are complaining about the man you are with then get the fuck out of the relationship, why put yourself through something your clearly not happy with?

On the flip side, we can only start getting better taste in men if the REAL MEN stand up. Where are all the gentlemen at? Its the simple things that matter the most. Well for me anyway...

shake ya pants

Pretty sure that much hip thrusting in unitard's should be illegal, haha

'No need to be greedy...'

'...I got mad friends that's pretty, Hey!'

Just showing appreciation for a handful of my beautiful friends, love you ladies!

Eat your heart out fellas.

Liquid Love

I always love getting my ears on new soul artists. Chris Turner hit my soul with his single 'Liquid Love' off the upcoming EP 'LOVEchild'. The fact that he is from Oakland definitely has my interest, I love that city and love the sounds that Oakland artists bring.

Hello 2011, nice to meet you!

Well its that time again, where we ponder the past and make plans for the new. 2010 was a OK year for me, 2 trips to New York were the highlights, my career was put on pause, I moved cities and am now ready to kick start 2011. I'm moving to Toronto at the end of the year, so this is my time to 'get that money'.

These first 3 days of the new year have consisted of catching up with my good friend Boogie Blind & Lord Finesse who were in town for a show, I went fishing, I got sunburnt at the markets, hangtime with Delta & Vix, & have had Miguel, Foreign Exchange & Zo! on repeat on my stereo.

Lets toast it up and see what the year has in store.

For those that read this, sending you love & light for the new year.
