We Love Phonte

Phonte (Foreign Exchange/Little Brother) drops dime on the music industry, all while rocking an I Love Vinyl t-shirt! Gotta respect the multitasking! We would mention Nicolay too... but he's not wearing the shirt. j/k! We love you both! But seriously, Nic, next time, the shirt... Gotcha! j/k again!... C'mon, would we really want them to wear matching I Love Vinyl shirts in interviews?... heck yes!!! But not really, right? That would just be plain silly. Or would it?...

Big ups to I Love Vinyl resident OP! and the whole OkayAfrica team for the highly successful event last Sunday (people were risking arrest to jump the fence after the cops shut down the entrance with 15,000+ people already inside!) featuring incredible performances by The Roots (feat. Talib Kweli) and relative newcomer Blitz the Ambassador. Just back from South Africa, armed with some Africa-hot new joints, OP! did his thing, indeed; keeping folks on their feet, dancing, in the pouring rain.

At the end of the show, when OP! got back on the decks, we were all treated to a surprise (OP! included) when Nice & Smooth jumped on stage. OP! pulled out Hip-Hop Junkies and DWYCK instrumentals, and the rest is history (caught on video for posterity, below).
