The Bobby Effect has been blowing up in the bay faster than folks can keep track of. With her videos and freestyle are being talked about by everyone locally and abroad, it’s no wonder her new tribute track to Eazy E is making a splash. Take a look at the video below.

Tokyo 24 has been one of my favorite groups to work with for quite some time now. Their unique style, a-typical beats, and non generic lyrics have always kept my interested as a listener. Recently, their music found its way right up to the top of the ‘Bay Area Sound Check’ contest held by 99.7 Now in the Bay. As if the musical prowess of Tokyo 24 wasn’t enough to get my vote, NhT’s own A.Mo is also featured on the track. ‘Taste Of Love’ is fresh off the EP “Aeonian Complex” released in the last quarter of 2011. You can hear the track above, and click the pic to cast your vote for Tokyo 24.

It’s quite a well known fact amongst my closest friends and colleagues that I’m somewhat of a tequila connoisseur. It’s also quite a well circulated myth that all I drink is Jose Cuervo, but I wanted to lay that one to rest right now. After a night out with a few friends, I was introduced to the wonders of Tequila Alquimia, and I’ve been raving about it ever since. Based primarily in southern California, Alquimia has won multiple awards including #1 on GQ’s hot tequila list, and is made from only the finest organic blue agave. I know the concept of organic tequila might seem a little strange to some people, but hey… I try to be as healthy as possible. Hopefully in the future they’ll expand past California, so I can grab a bottle no matter where in the world I grab a drink. You can check more about Alquimia, their assortment of flavors, and other info at www.tequilaalquimia.com.

A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to be taken on a tour of the future Ear-Peace Records store in Berkley, California. My colleague and good friend Stu Lacero is in the process of opening up what will undoubtedly be one of the shining gems among the local businesses in Berkley. The store features a massive graffiti mural, a floating stage, and spaces for artists to come in and work on pieces live. One of the first things Stu showed me was the space on the floating stage for the DJ booth. (So rest assured I will be eating, sleeping and working in the store quite a bit), and the layout for the records, clothes, and merchandise he plans to sell. I’ve been excited for a while now to see what the store will look like when it’s finished, but after seeing the work in progress, I know the final product will be incredible.
