After Hours with Calligraphy - Episode 1 w/ Noa James & Lesa J

The homie Callig has some dope ideas in that head of his. Not only is he killing it with his coffee shop called The Reverse Orangutan located at 440 E Rte 66 in the city of Glendora, California but he also started a web series slash late night show! This is what it is according to the folks at Productive Culture and the man himself:

"Calligraphy brings in his first guests Noa James and Lesa J to after hours. Noa and Lesa talk about their personal journey, Noa's health and the health of the hip hop community. Lesa j gives great advice describing things she learned the hard way."

Music Monday with Noa James, Guccidamus, Asend, Calligraphy, OhGoshLeotus, and Notiz Yong

The flip side to the February "Phone Rang" single, an original and sweet mood expressing stoner serenade, spark one to this.

Some crazy new beat sounds from the homie Guccidamus and his collaborator Infinity- take a walk into darkness if you dare.

                                    Chilltastic new instrumental from the I.E. vet Asend!

Speaking of I.E. vets, Calligraphy has always been a distinctive quirky and intellectual voice in the community and I am happy to hear this OhGoshLeotus produced gem of a single recently dropped to add some flavor and rhythm to your winter nights. 

I love the double meaning Notiz employs here as he figuratively journeys his way to fatherhood on the track- peep the blood vessels on this self-produced piece.

Triniti's Inertia Ep Release Party in Redlands, Ca @ Katz Alley #InertiaEP @TheHolyTriniti

Triniti's project Inertia is shaping up to be a highly anticipated work. From the versatility she put on display at Socal Sinatra's Frame of Mind album release party to the many cyphers circulating the web she ripped at Team Backpack's Annual Auditions; Triniti has created quite the buzz for herself. The show had an impressive lineup including Stutta Boii & Travis Miller of Royal Gambling Club, Over Everything's Cam Archer (who also hosted), CJ Westly, K.I.T., & Oh Gosh Leotus, M16, Fitz Taylor, Jig, Konami Homi, Christel Freeman and the star of the night herself, Triniti. The sounds of the evening were provided by none other than local favorite DJ Calligraphy and our homies at New Culture Media Group were there holding down the photo and video tip. M16 boasted an impressive and memorable high-energy set that captivated the audience and really brought a new dimension of energy into the room. Christel Freeman amazed me with a funk-tinged performance that made me get up and dance...not head-nod, not two step, DANCE. We'll be posting an album review for Inertia later this week.
