Everything seems connected at times don’t it? Just a few weeks ago I sold a record (online) to the one and only Pete Rock and today I come a across this super dope illustrator named Jay Roeder. You might ask yourself how the two are connected, but to me they are…in a way. Jay Roeder did an amazing 55 piece illustrated series of Biggie’s main verse from “Juicy”. It took him a little over a year to finish the project and I love it! Oh and Pete Rock did a remix of this very song of course. Peace to Ego Trip…and if you don’t know, now you know.

When my old buddy Tomas invited my for his Ontfront show at the Amsterdam International Fashion Week, I remembered him saying something about working together with Simon Amon aka Steam Supreme last year. For those that don’t know…Ontfront is an independant clothing brand based in Amsterdam. Anyway…for their catwalkshow they’ll be blasting Simon’s “Afrodisiacting” through the speakers. This collaboration between singer Simon Amon and producers Fret Hinge is from their “Breakfast For Heroes” EP.
To download the complete “Afrodisiacting” release, consisting of the original version and the clubby remix by Ebokai…click HERE! Shout out to O. Boogie for the heads up and I’m curious about the show tomorrow.
