San Francisco's Finest

Alas, here are the photos from the HughEMC, Rappin’ 4-Tay, Fly Mar, Co-Blooded and cast show and photo shoot at City College of San Francisco (my old stomping grounds) last month.

Sorry it took forever and a day for me to get these posted -- I know I’ve been yapping about ‘em for a minute now -- but I didn’t want to leak ‘em until after I knew which ones Hugh was going to use for the cover of his new album, “Stop Hatin’ On Me.”

This particular show was hands down one of the best live performances I’ve seen to date. It wasn’t too crowded, the weather was near perfect -- I actually walked away with a bit of a sunburn, everyone was in a pleasant mood and all performers came to the table with their A-game. I was really stoked to finally get a chance to hear Hugh and Rappin 4-Tay perform live. Yes, 4-Tay closed his set with “Playas Club” (1994). So dope.

In addition to plugging away on this new book -- the same book I’ve been working on since the last one dropped in ‘05, I’m going to be helping HughEMC out with some PR work, so you’ll probably be seeing a lot more of him and other Bay Area hip hop artists on the site in the near future.

I’m so tired right now that it’s ridiculous. This parenting biz is no joke. My little guy is only a month-and-a-half old, far from mobile, and already going a million miles a minute! He did, however, manage to sleep five hours straight last night, which was a much welcomed first. Let’s see if he can do it again tonight. I’d pay money for ten hours of uninterrupted sleep right now. Much love and respect to my lovely wife for being the most patient, loving and caring mother I've ever seen.

Hope you all have a fabulous and productive weekend!

Blessings,

Travis
