nothing but love for this one. may you rest well, my friend. damn. and damn again. i’m 38. and an interesting phenomenon that i have been encountering every year past 35 has been seeing my friends depart. on to the next. mortality. it’s a very real aspect of my adult life. and i’m coming to see, understand, know and fear it in an entirely new way. i’m thankful for meeting you, james. truly. one of the dopest cats i met while at A-1. put me on to soooo much game. and whether it was at the shop or at a club...you just had this way of fallin’ in to a spot that was just so....YOU. energy would have the whole spot lit up. can’t replicate that. there’ll only be one @blujemz. this was a tough one today. but i imagine we’ll see each other again...and wherever that is, i imagine that you’re already posted up, kickin’ it. damn. this city is gonna really miss you, Brotha. straight up legend. until we meet again. Bless Up.

so much love for this brother right here. @___sessa__ was the first friend i ever met in NYC. he’s also one of the most talented people that i know. back when i first moved here, i was accepted into the New School. i was already 30 years old and it was the first bit of “higher learning” that i had ever been exposed to. my high school education (completed a decade earlier) left a hell of a lot to be desired, and, to put it plainly, i was incredibly intimidated. i was surrounded by people who didn’t look like me, didn’t talk like me, were smarter than me and had no problem letting that be known. i honestly regretted enrolling before my first semester even started. i was certain that i wouldn’t last an entire semester....let alone four years. the first ever class that i attended was Global Perspectives in Music. i slid into the first seat that i could find, and, as fate would have it, wound up sitting right next to this guy. he turned to me, and in the thickest Brasilian accent that i had ever heard, said, ‘Hey man.....what’s up?’. haha...it could have easily been ‘como vai você’. cool as hell, yo. it’s hard to put into words how at ease i felt in that moment and we quickly became friends. we wound up sharing a helluva lot with each other and he taught me that one of my greatest contributions to others was the knowledge of records, music and life that i had amassed and not my educational upbringing. one of my great pleasures over the past 7-8 years has been witnessing his growth. musically and in life. head to YouTube and check his song ‘Toda Instância do Prazer’ if you want a taste of the magic that he has been working on down in São Paulo over the past couple of years. and, if you are so inclined, head to Berlin on Avenue A tomorrow night, where he and his band will be closing out their North American tour. their set starts at 10 pm. i unfortunately won’t be able to make it....but if you do, show him some love and tell him Malik sent you.
had the pleasure of supporting my folks @offthescene_ over at @the_living_gallery_bk a week ago. i’d like to thank everyone who fell thru and showed love. and i’d especially like to thank @worldmeetslurb. this is the second time she’s captured me (the first time being the @beathausshow fifth anniversary) and i really appreciate the moments that she chooses to go after. check out her work and get at her if you need someone to shoot your event. 📸✨👌🏾

had some brief but colorful moments of family + friends who popped in to visit, build and share in making some new memories this weekend. reeeeally needed that. one of those highlights was my brother from back home @sosotopic stopping in with a couple of other guys from Dallas. love you fellas. thank you for bringing a bit of home my way. 📸 : @fatbellyyella ❤️❤️
this one. love you brotha. always right on time. ✨👌🏾
grateful for this dude right here. so...as the story goes, i played a couple of sets for an @intlanthem event at @h0l0.nyc. close to this time last year. the dude who was managing the space and i hit it off fairly quickly. he introduced himself as @joey_desktop and let me know that he was familiar with @paxicorecords and some of the imprint’s output. we exchanged math and, shortly after, he reached out to ask if i was interested in partnering up with him to develop a monthly event. i was all ears and we set a date. a couple of weeks later, i made my way to h0l0 to meet up with him to exchange some ideas. looking back, i remember it being a strange night. it was a wednesday, the weather was starting to cool and there was a wack turn up party happening in the space. when their bouncer didn’t show, he asked if i’d fill in. i’ve bounced for years all over BK + NY, the crowd was easy, it was a quick bit of change and i’d get to soak in the space a little more. sure. why not? the night went by uneventfully, joey and i dapped it up and i bounced on my bike. a few blocks away, as i was bombing it down a hill, standing up on the pedals, with no lights and no helmet, a guy kicked his car door out as i passed by. trust. i’m lucky to be alive. i’m lucky i don’t have brain damage. the way i flipped, i know my angels caught me. alhamdulillah. not yet. i eventually had surgery and spent a few months in bed. four months total in the house. six months relearning to move and eventually bend my leg. and eight months relearning to walk. i still won’t run for another year. but this guy kept tabs on me thru all that. when some of my closest friends and family didn’t. almost like he was obligated to or something. little messages here and there. but that meant the world to me when i was trapped inside, trying to not lose my mind. he’ll always go down as a real one for that. and when it was time for me to re-enter the world again? he was right there. same as it ever was. salute, my guy. thank you for all of that. even the experience and ordeal itself. it’s shaped me in ways that i may never fully understand. physically + mentally. and i’m forever grateful for that. now let’s build.
burn your idols.
playing with some very good people & a few old friends in a couple of weeks. come thru. #Repost @offthescene_ ・・・ Our next show in two weeks. Thank you for everyone for rocking with us. We are at a new location! RSVP link in bio.
reflections on life + love. 45s + avenues. the ebb + the flow. salute to a gem dropper for real, for real. got me missing East LA in a real way today. cuchifritos on me next go around 💎✨👌🏾
