Video: Nikki Jean Talks About Philly & Baking Cookies

by Eddie "STATS" on August 10, 2011   NEWS 0 Comment(s)

Ever since Nikki Jean blew up our world with this stellar debut (and this stellar late night performance), we have found ourselves rewinding to the times before she had a record deal and was just our (incredibly-talented) OKP homegirl–and then fast-forwarding to watch her blossom on the big stage. One of our favorite mementos is this webisode from the homies at Philly360, who walked Nikki around town to talk about her motivation in making music–and identify her favorite Philly eating spots. Incidentally she also puts her wife-ability quotient off the statistical chart by offering to bake us all cookies. Mmm. Cookies.

Video: Questlove Introduces the Cheesesteak Sushi Roll

by Eddie "STATS" on July 26, 2011   NEWS 4 Comments

You already knew Questlove was a Renaissance man–drummer, impresario, style icon, etc. etc. But the hood knows you haven’t really established yourself as a brand until you can put your name on a signature sushi roll. In this case, Questo stopped by Philadelphia sushi spot Zama to roll up the Philly-cheesesteak flavored roll that will bear his name. Looks tasty, too, thought I’m assuming this one is just for demonstration purposes cause he is definitely not wearing a hairnet. Watch and get the full recipe over at Philly360.

by Eddie "STATS" on July 15, 2011   NEWS 0 Comment(s)

In Philadelphia, all roads lead to South Street  and all music industry war stories lead to The Roots. Philly Music Magazine founder Dameadelphia is no exception; at 17 he was just a young buck trying to hold the mic at a South Street Roots jam session–and look at him now. Of course it doesn’t hurt if your high school rap crew includes a neighbor of Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter on it’s roster. Watch the video above to get the full story and go here to find out how you’re connected.
