3. Every Friday night I play records at the Halo Bar. Come drink and dance and hang out with that Halo Bar crowd. Guests weekly. Open till 3:00. Always fun.
4. Mansion Studios-time available. 314-283-6384 to book the best deal on studio time in St. Louis. Professional quality sound (Thanks Engineer Jason), check the last two mixtapes for examples (A-Bex "Run That Back", "Nothing Cool in the Summer")...only $30/hr.
5. The Center for Recording Arts is official. We've been teaching hip hop class for a few months now and its going great. If you know anyone who wants to donate to a non-profit organization, send them to djtrackstar@hotmail.com. We could use it.
6. Just returned from Hip Hop Congress' convention in Indiana. It was set up by the boy Berko, and was a very nice time. Honors English performed, Afeni Shakur spoke, your boy Track got 4th at the DJ battle (getting better), and Rockwell Knucklez verbally harassed the people running the MC battle. All in all an excellent weekend.
7. Toyy will be performing at the Hi-Pointe next Monday, March 7. You know the deal when she's onstage, be there.
8. The Cable News Network was at the Hi-Pointe a few weeks ago, and did a piece on StL Hip Hop. Interesting. Here's the links, at various formats and qualities:
