Couple Month's back we attended the World blog event at the Coffee Cave in Newark, NJ. It was a great event with free giveaways and Fresh upcoming talents. These are some of the pics from the event sorry we are a bit late :(. Shoutout to Jean and Ketsy for doing a great job of running and controlling this event. As a bonus we found two artist from that show doing there thing with a Mcdonalds ad. Check it out.. Also check theworldisus.blogspot.com
1.Tell us about yourself and what you currently do? (Age, educational background, hobbies) Geo 28, LIU grad BA computer science, C.E.O. So-Nesessary Ent, sneaker head till I die!!!
2.What makes you different from everyone in your field? There are ton’s of so called promoters out here in the club market. What makes my company different is the hands on attitude we have and our persistent attention to detail. At any of our events there isn’t anything that has not been checked over and over by me and or my business partner. If I do an event for you, you’re not supposed to be worried about your friends, family, or clients getting in to the venue or liquor and entertainment. That’s what we get paid for. So that’s our job and we do it well. That’s what makes up So-Nesessary Ent.
3.What made you start colleting kicks? What made me start collecting kicks hmmmm lol. Honestly, my upbringing made me start collecting kicks. I grew up broke, hand me downs and all. I’m not ashamed to say it because it taught me a lot. When my brother would be finished with his kicks, I would clean them up and wash the laces by hand. I would use my toothbrush on the sole and I was good to go. I would keep them under the bed and rock whatever kicks I had until they were looking ridiculous, then I would go under the bed and pull out the ones I cleaned up like they were brand new. You couldn’t tell me shit lol. I made it my business to get my first job at sneaker store and my check would never make it home. When I got older and started working at this brokerage firm making a decent couple dollars. Awww man I was buying 2 pairs of everything lol.
4.Who is the biggest influence in your life? The biggest influence in my life I would have to my mother. She’s my best friend. My heart beats to her every breath. She taught me how to work hard for the things you need and work harder for the things you desire.
5.What does Dirty Backpack Krew mean to you? Man that’s a good question. Dirty Backpack Krew means a lot to me because I see it grow from an idea to what it is now. "Young Moguls"... that’s what think of when I think about DBK. Fresh, fly, and ground breaking. Their attention to detail is off the wall and there concepts are presidential (top notch). 2K10 I see big things for DBK
6.What are the hottest kicks you own and why? I can’t answer that question truthfully because I think all my kicks are off the wall but I will tell you my fav’s in my collection Air Jordan VII (7) Olympics Air Jordan VII (7) white, flint grey, French blue Air Jordan V(5) Grape
7.Any Last Words or comments for the readers…………………This was fun thanks for the opportunity. Everywhere I go I tell the indie stores about DBK. Everybody out there support the movement and the birth of greatness which is Dirty Backpack Krew. All my fellow sneaker heads, no more fake kicks in 2K10. Shout outs to all the shops out there keepin us fresh Sneaker Bistro, East West, Brooklyn Circus, Atoms, Dave’s Quality Meats, Packers, Marquee Sole. Chis and the rest of the DBK one love.
"Quiet storm vital form pen pushed it right across Mind is a vital force, high level right across Shoulders the lions raw voice is the siren I swing round ring out and bring down the tyrant Shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided The world is so dangerous there's no need for fightin Suttins tryna hide like the struggle wont find em And the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him"
"Had the time to catch up with the underground artists St Louis Joe. We told you guys in the past hip hop creativity is not dead. There still artist out there that know the true meaning of hip hop as an art. Well here you go enough of us check out St Louis Joe answer some questions and drop off there material...Support!"
1.Tell us about yourself and what you currently do? (Age, educational background, hobbies) Elete: We have had the name St Joe Louis for about 3 years. Before that we went as Prizm, but had to change it due to licensing issues. The 3 members are Michael Cardigan, Elete Wright, from Newark New Jersey and Tom Chase from Waco Texas. We all have day jobs and smoke hooka. 2 out of 3 have locks. 3 out of 3 dress fly. 1 out of 3 loves sushi. 2 out of 3 smoke cigars. 2 out of 3 like anime. 3 out 3 like comics. 1 out of 3 skateboard. 1 out of 3 made it a hobby in high school to successfully out-debate priests and bishops on religion. 1 out of 3 is training to be a tattoo artist. Ya moms probably wants to take one of us on a date. 2. What makes you different from everyone in your field? Elete: The persistence of quality and attention to detail. We just express things in a way that makes sense to us. All feeling no filler. We don’t try to fit a particular mold or subscribe to a formal school of thought. And we’re usually dressed better lol. 3.What made you start? (skateboarding, bike riding, DJing, rapping etc.) Michael Cardigan: There was a void between what was there and what I wanted to see so I am filling that gap. Elete: I was fascinated with manipulating words and the ideas therein. That hobby became a passion. The same with production. Tom Chase: well I’m from Texas so I took up skateboarding before I started taking rap seriously I’m not good at it like on a professional level but I was just inspired by the rebel-''esc'' attitude of the 1980's skateboarders I didn’t really get into rap until I moved up north to Brooklyn. 4. Who is the biggest influence in your life? Tom Chase: My biggest influence is my mother. That’s pretty much it. Elete Wright: My father. I act just like him. Oh, Shonuff from “The Last Dragon” , Lando Calrissian and Mace Windu from “Star Wars”. They are the flyest black fictional characters from my childhood. 5. What big names have you have worked with in the past? Elete Wright : Joe Budden, Nucci Reyo, Vast Aire, Sky Zoo, and Malay to name a few. 6. What does Dirty Backpack Krew mean to you? Michael Cardigan: That you are working at something hence the dirt and that work keeps you out long hours hence the backpack. Elete Wright: It actually reminds me of ciphering all day and night all over the tri-state, building a name for myself my crew and my state. I guess you could say I was a “backpack rapper”. These days I spend more time in the studio, and I don’t carry around my backpack anymore. But I still have it. Its dirty as hell, the stains are mementos of my adventures. Tom Chase: ummmmmmmmm you're not afraid to do what you have to do even if something that you want to do and you're always on the move in short a hard worker. That's what I get from the term "Dirty Backpack Krew"
7. Any Last Words or comments for the readers………………… Michael Cardigan: Look out for the upcoming project 30,000ft High & Rising. Tom Chase: S.J.L., D.B.K, E.A., TOKYO SKYLINE 30,000 ft HIGH &RISING GET OR GET DELT WIT! Elete Wright: NJ all day.

Here are a few pictures from that beautiful night!!!
Jay Electronica-Exhibit A,B,C Quick selection from wikipedia for the people out there into commercial rap and let this talented artist fly right over your head.....
Jay Electonica is a rapper and producer known for his use of percussionless film soundtracks as a background for his abstract lyrical style, and his associations with Erykah Badu, Just Blaze and Nas. He produced the first track, "Queens Get the Money", on the 2008 Nas album Untitled. The unconventional nature of much of his music, and the lack of conventional release methods for that music, have since 2007 made him the object of much attention. He is perhaps best known for the piece of music Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge).
Check out his track Exhibit A,B,C
