"My Climate Is Way Higher Than Lindsay Lohan's Nostrils On Powder..."

First night in NY, first concert. WALE! Had seen him (as you may have seen) about 3 weeks earlier in Richmond, but as that show was great it was definitely worth the 15 bucks to see him again in Nueva York. Was supposed to go with MJ, KD and Knutz, but unfortunately the ticket situation was not good for Knutz and MJ, so they did their thang and i went with KD. It was the same tour, but HOLY SHIT was this show different. The show started with an unannounced Big Sean, which was cool (though i wouldn't mind if he changed what he raps about a little...it all seems to be about making "a million", awfully repetitive). Then J. Cole came on and tore it up again, look out for his upcoming Mixtape, The Warm Up, and if you haven't copped The Come Up then do so immediately. There's a reason he's the first Roc Nation signing...Hova don't fuck around... Next up was Colin Munroe, whom I personally like a great deal, his singing wasn't completely on point, as he was having some throat issues. However, we were treated to Joell Ortiz on stage performing the track "Piano Lessons" with Colin, cool shit. Tanya Morgan came on afterwards, opening with the the awesome "Cuddle Bums" off the 88 Keys Adam's Case Files Mixtape. Their set was good, their album Brooklynati is now out.

The Ambassador of Rap for the Capita(o?)l came on soon after, and he was NO disappointment. Wale came onstage with a bottle of Patron, performing with the celebrated go-go band UCB (Tre is great at choruses..boy can saaaaang). Wale hit all the good tracks, and then as a surprise brough Young Christ on stage, and then MOTHERFUCKIN KID CUDI! He performed an "impromptu" (as he called it himself, as he was in his own words "toasted") "Day-N-Nite". Wale closed with "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E" and of course the D.C. anthem Nike Boots. By the time we got out, MJ was WASTED ("That looks like a delicious sandwich", haha) and Knutz had somehow passed out on a corner. All this didn't stop the ridahs,as Will (whom a post dedicated to is coming soon!)met up with us and we headed out for more alcohol induced rambunctiousness!
