In my years of intensive traveling (and y’all know I been there, done that), I have visited France a lot. While being a die-hard hip-hop head, it just wasn’t possible not to fall in love with French hip-hop. I bumped Skyrock whenever possible, ripped off radio shows to mini discs (collection of which I still [...]

I keep hearing bout how Riga Talk was awesome and I should blog more frequently. This is real inspiring, so.. Call it a come back. Props to my die-hard readers, and you know I bounced back before.

Mayn, ain’t nothing real overwhelming happened last night actually. Maybe I feel like that cause I was shooting hoops over in Pardaugava and missed some of the live action? TV, breaking news type of live action, I mean. The reporters seemed like nearly enjoying this mess. I don’t know but to me, this whole riot [...]

Well, with a lil bit of delay, a snowstorm is taking over the area throughout Sunday. I just came over [...]
