Last night we ran through Los Angeles for our first West Coast vitaminwater uncapped LIVE show featuring the great Freddie Gibbs, Dom Kennedy, and Casey Veggies, supported by still-mindblowing-the-morning-after surprise appearances by Tyler, the Creator and Inglewood's own El Prez. DJ Sourmilk came through in the clutch, a special thank you for his support on the decks. Special thank you to Heineken for keeping the free bar flowing, and to our friends at MyMusicRx. Best wishes to Casey Veggies’ academic future: dude is graduating high school next month and he had to write a 10-page paper after the show. Shout out to party priorities, shout out to Tyler for showing Casey love and possibly helping him proofread. Secret favorite moment: Freddie Gibbs’ crowd-participation chorus on Snoop’s “Ain’t No Fun”, marking our second consecutive impromptu uncapped Nate Dogg tribute. LA: it’s always a joy, hope to see you again soon.
