The Past Couple of Days...

Lil'Wayne, Universal Records, Broadway, 4pm. Oct.12,'05







___Between Friday's interview with Sheek Louch, where my roomate Rich Brantley and I met the entire D-Block/LOX crew including Jada, Styles, Super Mario and J-Hood, and trying to do some work to finish my degree in school, the last few days have been terribly hectic. Yesterday, I marched up to Universal Records to squeeze in an interview with your boy "weezy-baby," Lil'Wayne; who was very chill and pleasently blunted. He told me he went through five-boxes of sweet Phillies every day. He answered all my questions and he really seemed to enjoy being interviewed. At only 23-years-old, already a post-platinum artist, D'Wayne Carter seems to be a good cat. That interview is the first of two stories I have coming out in new publications. Rap-Up Magazine was founded by communications wiz-kid Devin Lazerine; an 18-year-old from Califonia that wanted to start a hip-hop magazine and did. The magazine is pretty cool and is readily available as far as I can see here on the east coast. Even my local magazine stand, good'ole MASPETH NEWS, keeps copies stocked. Rap-Up.com


Last Thursday, D-Block Studios, Yonkers, NY, 3pm,Oct. 7, '05.


___My interview with Sheek was also a success. The highlight of the afternoon was when Jada was screaming "You know your my little baby Styles" in a bust of energy while attempting to complete a "Hail Mary" in Madden for PS2. That article is slated to appear in an upcoming issue of Platinum Plus magazine, a small urban-lifestyle mag based in Brooklyn which runs some really quality articles. Jake Paine, the editor of the AllHipHop features section, hooked me up here and I credit him with a hand in most all of my recent success. Jake, who is in his last semester at Drexel University in Philadelphia, has written for Elemental, XXL and Mass Appeal to boot, he's really accomplished and wrote the most recent cover story* for Platinum Plus. He's proven to me that I shouldn't be suprised to see him score big in anything.. (I've posted that cover here) WwW.PlatinumPlusmag.com
