DJ L I M E L I G H T

This weekend, one of my favorite events comes to the great city of Indianapolis… the Circle City Classic. In case you didn’t know, it’s a college football game featuring two HBCU’s. Ton’s of people come in town for it every year and being that I’m a DJ, and I DJ parties…

friday

saturday

And get this… I’m doing RSVP’s! Shoot a email to rsvp@djlimelight.com for discounted admission on Friday or Saturday (or both). I’ll be back this week at Sangiovese as well for some Thursday night goodness.

You’ve most likely heard about the terrible plane crash Friday night that killed four and severely injured DJ AM and Travis Barker of Blink 182 fame. I’m a fan of only a handful of DJ’s on this planet and AM is most definitely one of them. He’s an inspiration for DJ’s everywhere not only in terms of creativity, but for what we all can aspire to be when it comes to the next level. From what I’ve read on the various web message boards (DJ’g/ sneakers) that we’re both apart of, he’s a very humble and grounded dude who’s went through a lot to get where he is (his dad died of AIDS, he’s a recovering alcoholic and crack addict, used to weigh 320+ lbs and attempted suicide, only to have the gun jam).

Contrary to popular belief, he’s a dope ass DJ NOT because he dated Nicole Ritchie, but because he has a passion for the culture and put in a lot of work to get where he is. My sincere condolences go out to families and friends of those who lost their lives. Get well soon AM and Travis. I’m pulling for you guys.

Asher Roth has been generating a LOT of buzz for the last six months or so. As usual I was super late on this until my homie Kayo told me to check out this version of Milli from Asher. I think he murked it even more than Jay-Z strictly on his content. For the sake of not making my brain explode, I hope this was written and not a freestyle. From what little I’ve heard, he’s a combination of Mos Def (content, consciousness) and Emimem (wittiness) wrapped in the skin of a 22 year old college kid raised in the suburbs. Be on the lookout for this dude.

A lot of folks have been killing Ye on the whole high fashion look, but I actually think the suit is extra Doug E. For someone who has Dolce & Gabbana in their speed dial, what else can you expect? A white tee and AF1’s? Not so much.
