I would like to thank everyone for coming out on Saturday night. It has been awhile since I have performed in my hometown and nothing feels better than to be back on stage in front of a packed house. I love the town for all of the love and support that you have given me throughout the years. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate it.

This was the first time that I’ve seen HellaDope live and they were amazing. I was happy that they performed Rainwater because I’ve been bumpin’ that joint non stop since they released it at the end of ‘09. Tay Sean and I also spoke about hopefully working together sometime in the near future. Those guys are very talented.

What can I say about D. Black and the Sportin’ Life camp? I have been lucky enough to get to know these guys over the past year and they are some of my favorite people in the NW hip hop scene. Devon is always keeping me in mind about shows and always shows me love when I see him. Fatal is my dude! And yes, Fatal is going to be on my album. Spaceman is that guy and is always clowning on me about the 253 VS. 206 basketball game. This is the second show that D. Black and I have done together and I hope to do more in the future because we always have a lot of fun. This guy did God Like on Saturday!

I think I put on a pretty good show and I try to set a certain vibe for the night, but after every show I am always looking back thinking I could have done better. I don’t think I will ever be at a comfortable place with this hip hop shit where I think I’m doing everything right. Regardless of how much thought I put into my work, I still had so much fun. It is always good bringing Logics and Fatal Lucciauno to the stage to do Boss’ Life because that song gets the crowd live. I closed the set with my song Two Five Three and I could not end the show any other way. I love doing that song in Tacoma. DJ Semaj held me down on the tables as always and as a matter of fact, he also held it down for D. Black. That is my boy and he is a hard working DJ/producer.

I was happy to see so many faces in the house that night. There are way too many people to list, but here are photos from Saturday. These photos are a little bigger than the usual size that I use for my blog because it is early in the morning, I’m tired, and I do not feel like resizing all of them. On top of that, when I change the layout for this site, the pictures will be bigger anyways. Photos by Erik Soderquist.
