DJ Q-Bert at SFO Museum
Legendary DJ Qbert & Thud Rumble collaborate with the SFO museum to bring, “Revolutions Per Minute” a one of a kind exhibit showcasing the art and technology of vinyl & record players at the newly formed SFO museum in Terminal 2 at the San Francisco Int’l Airport. To assist in marketing the exhibit, the SFO museum & Thud Rumble produced a live event performance that was open to the public. This was the very first time a musical event of this magnitude and exhibit has ever been accomplished in a U.S. Federal Airport.

All For The Money
Geaaaaaa… This song ain’t about smoking but it sure does get me “in the mood” with that Tyrone Davis sample. Since this is the throwback of the week, put the grape swishers away and roll up the garcia vega. We’re lighting this one up for the West Coast…back to 1994 we go with Compton’s Most Wanted very own MC Eiht.
