Happy Anniversary “2001”
18 years ago..I was running around all over trying to find my place, paying my dues in this complex puzzle called show business plus everyday life in general. A couple of years earlier, I heard rumblings of a release in the making and as a result was very blessed to be at the right place at the right time to land a gig as an intern at Interscope; just in time for this iconic release to be unearthed (Thank You Mike Heat for the opportunity and believing in me …Salute). What’s funny is that I wasn’t looking for a gig.. It just happened because I was looking for white label promos to break. It was very organic how it all happened. Bear in mind, I was moonlighting at Virgin-EMI (but managed to work equally hard for both imprints and other indie projects). I was very excited to work behind the scenes in street promotion and doing the leg work right next to an awesome collective for this release and future classics for the label. I still listen to this album during my workouts and a sea of memories are instantly revisited. One of the most sonically tuned and clean productions that raised the bar. Happy Anniversary #drdre #2001 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #unique74 #djaski #flashbackfriday
Over the weekend..
As the holiday seasons approach, I’m working 10x harder in my weekly routine. I cut the white potatoes and white rice for a few months in addition to no creatine or protein powder for a year. Drinking lots of alkaline water and sneaking in 8hrs of sleep to replenish. Cheers.
Team Monday. 10.16
A day without learning is another day robbed. Keep it productive. Team Monday. #unique74

Undergrad reflections…Freddie Hubbard
​A thought triggered to the priceless moments of my Music Professor that taught Classical and Jazz. Just imagine having to write review on going to see #TootieHeath (while the man himself stops the show midway just to acknowledge your OG mentor that you’re hanging with in the audience ..over the top..). My professor made it a point to drive the genius of #FreddieHubbard and the #bebop movement into our subconscious. Naturally, I passed both courses with flying colors. Reflective mood. #mood #jazz #unique74
Happy Anniversary N*E*R*D “In search of…”
​Honorable mention: 16 years ago..I was working a day gig while interning and moonlighting for 3 plus different labels (sorry guys..lol). My artful skill of negotiating allowed me to convince the company head of my day gig to allow me full clearance to leave my job early (two days a week)while having the other foot in what would eventually become classic releases. I felt very strong about the promise in this album and was always partial to the European mix. I have the last limited instrumental vinyl somewhere in my arsenal. I was very honored to be part of the ground work in this iconic release. Happy 16th Anniversary of the N*E*R*D release “In Search Of..”!! #nerd #classics #theneptunes #djaski #unique74
