SKAM TV came to Power 106 and got a behind the scenes look at what I do live on the air every night during the #LIFTOFF. I talked about the inspiration behind the music, the LA Leakers, and what it’s like to be a DJ on Power 106. You can also hear me on Shade 45 ‘s #UHEARME weekly on Sundays at 1p PST/4p EST.
“I would always watch people react to music, and I just knew, this is what I wanna do, forever…” – Me
Three of Los Angeles’ most respected rappers appeared on Power 106’s Liftoff last night and talked about a handful of things. We had DOM KENNEDY come up to premiere some new joints of his upcoming album, Get Home Safely, which drops 10/15 on iTunes & Best Buy. Nipsey Hussle also ended up coming by to show his support and we also received a call from Kendrick Lamar showing his support for both DOM & Nipsey.
First break DOM speaks on getting his album into Best Buy independently, spreading the LA sound and the Dodgers.
Second break Kendrick Lamar and DOM KENNEDY speak on coming up together, what Get Home Safely means to music, Nip’s #proud2pay campaign, and more.
Third break Nip and DOM speak on Nip’s Crenshaw tape, Jay Z purchasing the project, and more.
Oooh! Ever wanted to learn TerRio’s “Oooh Kill ‘Em” dance? The 6 year-old Vine sensation takes you step by step through the popular dance and spits a little freestyle with our very own LA Leaker Mando Fresko. Watch and learn.
Mike Will Made It stopped by the #LIFTOFF with J Cruz and myself, and talked biggest challenge when working with artist in the studio, and his new single “23” featuring Miley Cyrus, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa.
Nipsey Hussle and Dom Kennedy stopped by the #LIFTOFF with my brotha J Cruz and I, and premiered their new song “Checc Me Out”, off his upcoming mixtape Crenshaw which drops on October 8th. It was nothing but cool vibes in the studio!
Watch Nip and Dom turn up while they hear “Checc Me Out” for the first time on the radio.
SourMILK and I had the opportunity to host 2 Chainz B.O.A.T.S 2 listening party in Hollywood last week. At the listening party Chainz played 6 songs off the album : “I Do”, “U Da Realest”, “Netflix”, “Feds Watching”, “Beautiful Pain”, and “Black Unicorn.” Chainz said the reason he only played 6 songs was because he wanted you to “Spend that $11.99 and not bootleg my sh*t.” Special shout out to Beats By Dre thank you for having us!
If you haven’t already make sure and go cop that B.O.A.T.S. 2: Me Time on iTunes now.

Eminem – Berzerk
Damn! Is Marshall really back? When I saw the commercial during the VMA’s I instantly got hype, the fan in me thought to myself…”Damn, did Kendrick even wake Em up??”
This new song from Em is hot! Good to hear him rapping like his old self again. Blessed with the musical genius production of the one and only Rick Rubin this song has the recipe to really pop. Interested to know what you think of this song. Comment below, I would love to know what you think! MMLP2, out Nov. 5!!
Big Sean – Nothing Is Stopping You
Nothing is stopping you! The title says so much! Love how Sean breaks it down in this song. Sean’s new album “Hall Of Fame” is in stores today. There’s a ton of great songs on the album but this one really stood out to me. I love the part of the song where Sean talks about taking the time to listen to a fan rap right in front of him, I thought it was so real how Sean said sometimes when you have no time you have to make them do a good thing. Sean then went on to say he listen to his song and if it was good he would e-mail him. How real is that? That’s all any kid with a dream could ask for. Sean represents creativity, inspiration, motivation, and so much more, these are some of the same goals I have. I want to influence & inspire one day like Sean and so many others do, that’s why I really like this song. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think below.
Rico Love – They Don’t Know
I’ve always been a really big fan of Rico’s production and song writing, really happy to see him doing his thing. I loved this song the minute I heard it and the video makes it even better. I feel like we all can relate to being in the same room as someone we have a vibe with and no one knows. The thrill right? Just the two of you know and it’s only between the two of you. Take a listen, the song takes a crazy turn around the 2:32 point. Rico’s new EP, Discrete Luxury, which drops today.
Also these new Jordan 5 Fears dropped this weekend, so if you got them you’re lucky!
