Aph in the Studio for '08

Here's Aph busy in his studio at Lake Tahoe, CA. In this jumble of computation, synthesizing and vinyl, Aph makes his finest compositions. Keep up the good work, mang.

On my way through the snowy madness of Tahoe, I was lucky enough to hunker down for awhile and tinker on some new productions with Aph, and of course, pure hotness was achieved. So keep your ears peeled for new tracks off the '08 co-production release of Aph & Grim's "The Co-op".

Da Grim's Sneakers

The Osiris Canvas Series shoe designed by zenvironments... once again, pure hotness. Kickin it in da kicks party, San Fran. word up.

New Years Sneaker Party

The "Sneakers Required" New Year's Eve Ball 2008, hosted by Mos Def at La Terra, San Fran. It was a great party I have to say, it had plenty of chicas and plenty of free booze... on New Years, I couldn't have wanted much more. But there was one catch...
The event's partial proceeds benefit H.E.A.R., a group that works to educate the public on the dangers of excessive noise and helps provide hearing protection for musicians and music fans. Sounds OK I guess, but here's da catch...
The sound system was horrible, it was plagued with major issues, bad distortion and high volume.... ironic. Half the sceduled artist had little or no play time.

Among the scheduled to appear was Goapele & DJ Namane, Mike Tiger, San Fran's DJ Mr. E, New York's DJ Boggie Blind, and Mos Def's Producer/DJ Preservation.

Luckily Mos came out and rocked it. Showed us how its done... regardless of the sound issues.

All-in-all, the party was off the hook. Me and Aph got to kick it back stage, we didn't spend a dime, and we met some a Mos' family, crew and his DJ/Producer - Preservation. And its all thanks to our main girl, Gewels, Word up.

Aph & Grim lookin stupid

It was a semi-formal event, but this is the nicest garb you'll ever see Aph and me in. I know... its pretty sad, but its cause we straight grimy. Here you can see us reppin' the Tank Theory Ts ... pure hotness. Check the rest of the posts to see more of this Mos Def bash, with Mos himself, sneakers, girls and more.
