Detroit

Friday I accompanied Slakah the BeatChild to Detroit to play a gig at Alvin's. I had a lot of fun doing it and it's always nice to associate with good people. The planned setlist was something like this, with all tunes being from his solo material or his Art of Fresh project:

1. Intro


2. Enjoy Ya Self


3. Share


4. Illusions (new track)


5. B-Boy Beef


6. The Chase (Art of Fresh - Back To The Earth)


7. Out of This World (Art of Fresh - Back To The Earth)
   

The highlight for me was playing What's This Thing. Slakah originally forgot to put it in the set but because I already knew this tune (me and the wifey listen to this tune plenty), there were no problems putting it in.

There was plenty going on with display tables of people shopping their wares, opening acts, the listening party for the new Angie Stone album "Unexpected," and DJ JMO (in from St. Louis) holding it down after we finished.

The above picture is JMO, Slakah, and myself after our set.

A couple more things here to wrap up:

• I went to Detroit and everyone there treated me nice, and I did not die or get shot at.
• Stay tuned for the Slakadeliqs, and other projects by Slakah because this is one talented guy.
