The Good Vs The Ugly

So the ugly part is, wait, pause because this is a multiple ugly situation. Last night befor I went to G.Luck's 7th Birthday bash I withdrew $100 from the ATM. Skated to the Foodmart downtown went to pay for my Beers on the best (resort to the picture).

And lord behold I lost my cash.. Straight not even 20mins between the two spots and I had lost my cash.. How bad could that be, sure you lose $20-$40 its ok, $50 your kinda upset but I had lost $100. I was straight about to get a ski mask and get my money back..

The double trouble is that I found out today through the bank that it was $120 NOT $100. Damn son way to kick a dude while hes down right? Nevermind though I still made Rent. Although Im going to be hitting that "Ethiopian Status" till next weeks pay.

The Good? I got this email from a friend at Dirty ENT giving you the information about D.Dallas upcoming album release.

If you like New Zealand Hiphop then please read on, if not then go play Bejewelled on facebook.

Something Awesome - "the debut solo album from David Dallas, sees the return of New Zealand’s smoothest rapper, with a soundtrack for anyone who has aspired to be something more.

In a time when popular hip hop records sound less and less like the songs that attracted David to the genre, Something Awesome is unashamedly vintage in its approach. These are twelve sincere songs from an artist whose life experiences probably mirror your own.

With producers Forty One and Fire and Ice providing the backdrop, guests PNC, Devolo, Aaradhna, Young Sid, and newcomers Jordache and Niko round out the experience that is Something Awesome.

David Dallas wowed US hip hop critics early in 2009 with impressive performances at the influential SXSW ’09 festival and received a standing ovation at LA’s infamous Viper Room. The US hip hop blogosphere has been buzzing about David since, most notably hip hop tastemakers The Smoking Section, OnSMASH.com and FWMJ’s Rappers I Know (Okayplayer network). He will be returning to the US in October to record and perform.

Armed with an outstanding new album and an international career about to take flight, David Dallas’s desire to be Something Awesome will soon come to fruition.

Check out www.daviddallas.co.nz for the album artwork, and for the videos for the Top 40 single ‘Indulge Me’ and the new single ‘Big Time’.

Something Awesome will be released on 31 August 2009 through Rhythmethod & DRM".

I didnt know that homeboy got a standing ovation at the Viper Room? I like the way Dave's gone about his success! To me its the more lowkey tip, wasnt the Mareko White Sunday approach.

Cant wait to see him at Superclub 4 and lets hope that he does take HOMEBREW with him on tour.

Weekend fun,
TheKid.
