Big congrats to our big homie, editor Lenny Messina (he cut the N.A.S.A. documentary trailer), as the documentary he sweated over for countless hours “Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest” has been gaining major props around the country and debuted here at the LA Film Festival a couple weeks back.  The night was a huge success as the film ended up taking home the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature.  Yeah!

If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and scoop up tickets as fast you can for the film’s debut at the Arclight this weekend.  Even if you’re not a fan of hip hop, this film will sink into your soul and grab on from the get go.  An incredible film with an incredible story about an incredible journey filled with incredible music.  Shit’s incredible!

And with the film’s debut at a major cinema, you know there’s a party goin’ down to celebrate.  An all star line-up is getting together tomorrow night with director Michael Rappaport and Phife Dawg hosting.  Check out all the details on the flyer below…

We’re all beaming with joy and a whole heap o’ pride b/c our main man Koool G. Murder just brought home his baby boy Elvis from Tawain.  Yeah!  Can’t wait to meet him!

Hey Yo! Los Angeles! We want to let you know that the 2nd phase of our homies The Date Farmers’ exhibition at Ace Gallery here in L.A. has been in the works for a minute (remember the pre-opening in December?) and now they’re ready to unleash 6 months worth of creativity on the world with a reception for the artists on Saturday night May 7th from 8-10pm.

Based on the fact that ever since December, the entire Ace Gallery has literally become their studio working space with complete 24/7 access to each and every inch of space, you know it’s gonna be rad as hell!

Swing by, grab a drink and soak in all of the paintings, installations, and even a fully functional bar with a “3D Club Video” Date Farmers Theatre made from recycled, customized corrugated metal, for their film collaboration with us, N.A.S.A., for the “A Volta” which screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and internationally.

For more details, check out the full press release HERE.  Hope to see ya there!

Stuff of legend went down here at Squeak E. Clean Studios on the East Side of L.A. this weekend.  We not only had George MuthaFunkin’ Clinton battling El Debarge in ping pong but apparently their good buddy Sly Stone came over and they all got together in the live room for an epic jam of all funk jams.

WoW!  We’re still blown away.

Are you ready for the madness?!?  Well you best believe we are and you’re in luck ‘cuz we’ve got the perfect soundtrack to get you amped up!!!

Up n’ coming NYC emcee, Najee, spits some behind-the-back b-ball bars over top one of our ankle-breaking beats and the results are pure butter.
