World,

I'm back safely on the other side of the earth: in Philly again. Just a week spent in Tokyo and I feel refreshed and re-motivated. This week, I will try and re-cap what went down through pics & vids.

I arrived there on last Saturday night (U.S. Friday) and got to make a pit stop at the JazzySport house in Gakudei-daigaku where I build with Coma-Chi & Grooveman Spot (linnk) awhile before heading to an all-Japanese hip-hop night with Coma-chi in Shibuya. It was dope to see all the innovations of hip-hop- from hardcore to the Native Tongue-style all under one roof and delivered through Japanese. How come I never see that much variety here anymore? I've got madd footage of it all, it'll be uploaded soon.

Monday was a good day. Coma-Chi's 2nd major release 'Love Me Please' (a concept album all about the struggles of folks face in love) dropped 6/10, and as promo, an advertisement bus was made to circulate and play her music in Shibuya, Harajuku & Shinjuku. We traveled to Shinkiba, bayside in Yokohama to watch them build the bus:


I am so happy for her success. It's so good to watch a female emcee rise to the top, especially when they aren't given such chances in the States anymore. Lookout world, we coming.
