Wale’s Ambition tour will be stopping through Nashville on Sunday, October 16th and we wanted to share free tickets for fans to enjoy the show. We’ll be giving away five pairs of tickets, 10 in total to a few lucky folks. So that’s you and a friend joining TSS, Lovenoise and RockSmith Tokyo to watch Wale, Black Cobain, Stix Izza and DJ Crisis and doing it for the low low price of free.99.

Rain fell for four consecutive days in Nashville beginning last Sunday. Wind-blowing, sideways rain which ended up totaling well over four inches last I heard. Still, all of that rain did nothing to deter several hundred people from hitting up Mai to check ?uestlove play and celebrate LoveNoise’s eighth annual Labor Day soiree.

I would type up all the names on our upcoming LivexDirect show but it’s pretty clear the October 9th show includes an extremely dope lineup and it’s being presented by Lovenoise x The Boom Bap x TSS. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s left for us to say when both K.R.I.T. and his DJ, Wally Sparks, call Saturday night’s show “one of the top 10 shows” they’ve ever done? Pretty much nothing, to be quite honest. Our work is done. Video footage will be coming soon, but check the pics from the day as a whole, beginning with the in-store at PhatKaps to the nightcap which included snapping shots with the last few attendees hanging around the venue.

Nashville show announcements involving TSS are starting to become a regular part of the action around here. Yet, bringing Big K.R.I.T. to the city is a special one. The upstart’s grind to gain the spotlight is one we’ve watched and documented since early 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

?uestlove came to Nashville to support our continued pursuit of epicness and massive it was. I originally considered running down 80 adjectives trying to paint how amazing the whole scene was and how relentless ?uest is on the mix…but simple words wouldn’t suffice in the least.

Video footage forthcoming but know and understand that Dee Goodz, Chance Warhol and DJ Wick-It held it down for the town. My camo cap goes off to Dee who stepped outside of comfort zone and usual crowd to make his mark. I never gauge how I feel about an artist’s performance solely on crowd reaction, knowing that sometimes an audience may hold back on giving props. Early call and responses fell short but young Goodz comes equipped with undeniable music and maximum charisma. And by his final track “Bananas,” the crowd rocked with him, filling in the calls for their participation.

To our 615′ers, remember that ?uestlove will be holding fort @ Mai tomorrow night. Also added to tomorrow night’s soiree are performances from Dee Goodz and Chance Warhol. Ticket sales have been good and steady and we thank everyone for their support. There’s still a few reduced priced tickets available @ Bullets & Mullets Read the rest of this entry »
