37th Chamber Vinyl Release Party Recap
Thank you to everyone who attended the vinyl release party for our first music project: SHAOLIN JAZZ The 37th Chamber.
As hip hop heads from day one, vinyl holds a lot of weight, namely because hip hop was created by DJs, so for us to have our own wax is something that we hold in the highest regard.
And for those of you who came out, shared what we’re doing, bought our merch, or gave us words of encouragement; the love from our community – our friends and family, is always much appreciated, but these days, it means that much more.
Thank you to Byrdland Records (they have some copies of the vinyl) for hosting and thank you to El Silencio for providing their artisan mezcal.

CAN I KICK IT? x Eaton Workshop / feat KILL BILL Vol. 1 / Recap
Good times at our CIKI? screening of KILL BILL Vol. 1, as a part of the Eaton Workshop x Wu-Tang Clan “Rise Above Residency.”
Starting with the venue, Eaton’s Crystal Room gave us more than what we expected: crystal clear sound (pun intended), spacious and comfortable seating, and three screens so you’ve got the movie almost everywhere you looked.
And despite the rain you all came through and supported to the fullest (shouts to all of our friends and fam in the building) – practically giving us a packed house.
Our final CAN I KICK IT? screening of the residency is tomorrow , so if you attended we hope you to see you back, and if you didn’t make it we hope you can come thru!
Thank you to Eaton Workshop for bringing us, shouts to Wu-Tang for your interest and the nod, and props to everyone who attended. We’ll see you soon!

SHAOLIN JAZZ L!VE at Wild Days / Recap
Last Weds was such a vibe.
It felt great conducting SHAOLIN JAZZ L!VE, which we haven’t done in a minute, and judging by how many of you came and the responses for those who attended that energy was accepted and given back.
We’d like to thank Eaton Workshop and Wild Days for hosting. And, as always, a huge big-ups to my brothers Sound of the City for blowing the roof off!
We’ve got more coming as a part of our 10 Year Anniversary programming, so stay tuned, and to check out the full recap click:
