This is going to be a really dope show and a great start to the Summer… Come say what’s up! First 3 people to say hello to me and mention La Parca (that I don’t know) get a free shirt. Serious!

A La Parca-Style Sunday

Today I hit up a record show over at the Somerville Holiday Inn with my buddy Nabo Rawk. Saw a lot of friends and familiar faces. LOVE a record show. Obviously. Este then met up with Nabo and I and we all went out for Mexican at El Potro. Try and beat THAT!

Speaking of Nabo… I produced his newest single and it JUST dropped. You can listen to samples and/or purchase said single via the link below. Check it out, Pizzaface!!! Yeah, sometimes I make hip hop records as “DJ Farmer Ted”. Did you know that?

Black Milk @ Middle East… TONIGHT!!!

Black Milk is one of my favorite contemporaries. I’m sure I’ve already mentioned that. Solid stuff. Get hip! A great producer and MC as well. Come hang out. Maybe I’ll give you a new LPRC sticker.

Not really into hip hop? Well… the Spits are playing @ Church tonight as well. If you’re not into hip hop OR punk rock… you are on your own, buddy. Can’t help ya.

For the record, I had a real hard time deciding between seeing the Spits or Black Milk. I then got tix to see the Spits down in Providence on Wednesday night. Sussed! I love when things work themselves out.
