THE GRIND

2007-04-16T20:58:00.000-03:00

Yes yes yall!

Hope yall are doing well...we've been maintaining around here in preparation for the first season. Those who've asked us what's going on with that, we respond by saying 'it's all in time!'. We're not going to put anything out half assed for yall. Do it right, or don't do it at all right? Major things will be going down in the first season.

Moving on...

We just did a tee for long time homie DJ MENSA (man!) of Peachfuzz (Thursday's at Chinadoll) and Project Bounce's Xtended Play. If you haven't picked yours up, what are you waiting for? Holler at the dude for one!

Big Racks & DJ Mensa

Trust us...this is only the first of many COMMITTEE x DJ MENSA projects coming...

In other family news...yall know we had DJ Neil Armstrong (5th Platoon, NYC) in town a couple weeks back right? Well, Neil is coming back again next month for a couple encore performances!

The first party will be going down Thursday May 3rd at Therapy Ultralounge, where we'll be celebrating the opening of my dude SKAM's new shop - LIVESTOCK. DJ Neil Armstrong will be rocking the crowd alongside residents BIG JACKS, SERIOUS and ROYALE with BOZACK MORRIS motivating the crowd! Come through early as there's VERY limited capacity.

And the following night on Friday May 4th....

We head west to rock the crowd in Hamilton for all of the out of towners who couldn't make it to party with us last month! We're calling out calling out Hamilton, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Burlington, Oakville, Stoney creek and all of yall in the surrounding area! Catch us at Che Lounge in Hess Village with Hamilton's JOOCE!

We've got another major announcement with regards to another popping night that's coming within the next few weeks...stay tuned for that!Save as Draft

And until then...PEACE!

What a dope tee from TRUE.

If you've been to The City, you can't help but love the place. The people are cool as hell, scenery is amazing, and it's an overall great atmosphere to be in. Laid back, dope weather and not a care in the world to pay mind to. Everything from the Golden Gate Bridge, to the BART, and even to the people - the stupid doo doo dumb retarded hyphy people of the city make it the place to be.

Don't get it twisted, COMMITTEE is Toronto bred but we got love for other major cities too! This brings us to the next topic at hand...

COMMITTEE's first 'CITY SERIES' will be launched soon, as we pay tribute to a couple of THE YAY's major league teams.
