even went to 5th St Dicks once w/ a homegirl who was cool with Billy Higgins.

Used to go to a lot of the Unity shows and also Blowed affiliated shows away from Project Blowed, in downtown, wherever. Usually 2mex or Shapeshifters, or OMD, xololanxinxo, Busdriver, Ellay Khule all that. like the Afterlife jams.

I was always a fellowship fan since like junior high. When Innercity Griots dropped that was my SHIT. I got that whole album memorized. Then I found out they had a FIRST first album. When they did the reunion show at the Whiskey in 98 I was in the front row. Saw PEACE throw a dude off the stage at Midnight Sun. Saw Acey serve three NYC emcees in a row at the Blowed one time.

Anyway since I was at Fat Beats a lot and always taping the Wake Up Show I was kinda on my East Coast shit, but by like 98 I was hearing about Log Cabin, Universals, all these weird rap crews in LA.... Shapeshifters. And getting weird ass dubs of dubs along with Fellowship stuff I had never heard before that was live or never released. Shit like The Day I Put On My Uniform, Metrognome, Surfin Tsunami, Farmer's Market (before it dropped on OD's Beneath the Surface), the whole freestyle from the Good Life that you see part of here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMsKY0SEf9I (by the way that's a great channel for Blowed shit)

Yeah I was heavy into Blowed for several years lol

Around 2000 I saw a screening of Freestyle that they did at NYU actually, that had some Blowed footage http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262424/, and I was on fire for days! The peace footage in there was dope by the way. I met the director briefly of This is the Life when they did a screening at an actual movie theater near MSG out here and was really taken aback by how warm and genuine she was. Good to see she has gone on to do big things.
