DJ ?uesto RTB Afterparty, Dilated Movie Clips on SOHH, Free Mixtape from Z-Trip…
?uesto and Yameen at McCarren Park Pool, Billyburg Brooklyn NYC
McCarren Park Pool is off the hook although I have yet to make it there this summer. There is just way too many options in New York City for things to do. What better than the Official Okayplayer after party for this Saturday’s Rock The Bells at another of my favorite NYC venues, Hiro Ballroom underneath the Maritime Hotel. Doors are at 10pm. Tickets are $10 in advanced from Ticketweb.com and $15 Day Of Show. Best save yourself that 5 bones. Feeling lucky? Enter the drawing to win a pair of tickets OR a signed copy of ?uestlove’s Babies Making Babies 2 by simply by sending an email.
We can damn near promise Tony Yayo will NOT be there. Nor Lindsay Lohan.
The Rock The Bells Tour kicks off this Thursday in Boston and the first big festival goes down this weekend in NYC. Check in with who’s going and get the line up for both days here. The Roots play on Saturday. Badu on Sunday.
Dilated Peoples’ The Release Party film is the official movie of Rock The Bells. For the next two weeks, get exclusive clips on SOHH’s Guest Star Blog. Evidence kicked things off yesterday with “Kindness For Weakness” and today Rakaa holds it down with “We Need a DJ” featuring Babu.
Speaking of DJ’s, 2K Sports is offering a FREE download of an all new mixtape from DJ Z-Trip. Get it here and read the review courtesy of okp ActWon.
Speaking of reviews, read why we gave 4 of 5 to Von Pea for his Grand Vonye and 1.5 of 5 for the legendary Rick James.
Now Hear This! artist Danny shot a video over this past weekend for his song “Fly, Pt. 2″ off of “Danny Is Dead.” Danny says: “Check it out whenever you get a chance! I think you’ll dig it (except for the acting part at the beginning, LOL…I could’ve done better).”
