DAY OFF! Free NYC Labor Day Party with Fool’s Gold + Friends!
Putting a giant exclamation point on another summer of smash singles and packed-out parties across the country, Fool’s Gold is throwing a free DAY OFF party on Labor Day. It’s going down from 2-8pm in a great outdoor space behind City Winery in NYC (155 Varick St, entrance on Spring between Hudson & Varick) and the all-ages event will feature guest raps from Yelawolf, Pill and Donnis, DJ sets from The Brothers Macklovitch (Dave & me), Just Blaze, Craze, Klever, Kill The Noise and Nick Catchdubs, and a live performance by The Suzan. It’s truly a family affair, with their friends from Scion, The Fader, LTD+, Slow Roast, Jelly and more on board to make it a can’t-miss party!

WMC According to Trizzy
The Fool’s Gold posse flew to Miami last Wednesday for some festivities of the Winter Music variety. When we arrived in fabulous South Beach we were famished so we linked up with our buddies Boys Noize, Steve Aoki, MSTRKRFT and LA Riots who were all about to grab dinner. What we didn’t know was that the MSTR boys had made reservations at the fanciest, strangest, most blog-worthy restaurant in the 305. From the outside this place Prime 112 looked more like a club than anything else. When our turn finally came we realized that from the inside it was actually closer to a hotel in the sense that every party got their own private room with not only a dining table but a TV, a couch, a bed, a bathroom… They served plates that were big enough to be shared by 5-7 people. We ordered the mother of all surf & turfs. The lobster was 4.5 pounds. My girlfriend’s dog is about that size.
Catch An Attitude pt.2
OK kids, here comes a big announcement. Are you sitting down? Of course you’re sitting down, you’re at the computer. Who computes standing up? Maybe you should get up to sit back down, just to get that “this is serious” feeling. You ready? Alright, I’m going in. (pause)
Vacation and LA
As I mentioned in the recent mini-update, I went on a little mini-vacation with Craze and Mrs Craze. After years of hearing friends tell me to take a break, I took a break for 4 days and had a ball. I wish I had a little more time, but it was great.
I’ve been in LA since the beginning of the week. We did a Kanye performance at this NFL kick-off concert yesterday. I think they aired “Heard Em Say” on TV, which we did with Adam Levine from Maroon 5. They were also performing, and so was Good Charlotte. I don’t know if anybody caught the performance on TV. I guess it was a big thing, what with football being a religion in the US, but I’m so disconnected from sports (and TV for that matter) that I can’t even tell. And Saturday we’re doing an MTV $2 show at the Henry Fonda Theatre. More on that in the next update…
Congratulations to my friend David who just got married!
Toronto Ecko concert
The morning after Miami we headed over to Toronto for the Ecko Getting Up festival, which probably had the biggest hip hop line-up Canada has ever seen — Ludacris, Nas, Lil Jon, Ciara, Mos Def, and mucho mas. It was cool to finally do a show in Canada with Kanye. Now if only we could play in Montreal. (Cue sad tuba sound.) Anyways, I guess this was the weekend of the boats, because I DJ’ed an afterparty on — you guessed it — a boat. Good thing I wore a pirate shirt. Craze was also in town and it was good catching up with the young scrappa.
Winter Music Conference
Last weekend was Winter Music Conference in sunny South Beach, Miami. I have to say, I usually don’t like WMC. The last couple of years, I felt like the parties were too messy – everybody too drunk to notice who’s even playing – and it was getting too electronic for my taste. But this year was pretty dope!
Kanye Europe tour super-synopsis
Howdy! I know I’ve been pretty slow in updating the site lately… So now I will attempt to recap the last 3 months in one paragraph. If you want, try reading out the whole thing in one breath at light speed like the micro-machines guy.
After the Truth tour I had a bunch of one-off shows, some with Kanye and some by myself. Then before I could say “shalom” I was off on a 3-week tour in Europe and Japan with Kanye. Talib Kweli was also on the bill for most of the European shows. That tour was awesome because, as opposed to the Usher tour, it was our show so we could play for as long as we wanted and improvise a lot during the set. I also got to extend my solo. Actually I made up a new one entirely. The crowds were great. You could definitely feel a closer connection with them, compared to the stadiums from the previous tour. These shows had on average 5,000 people. After that, Japan was crazy as ever. Always great for buying records and shoes. Noteworthy fact: one of our Japanese interpreters was going to take care of Hall & Oates after our tour. Finally I came home in December and got a bit of rest. I picked up on the DVD, which is coming along great. I can’t wait till it drops. And for the last couple of weeks I’ve been doing spot shows here and there and working on my album and DVD when I’m at home.
Now enjoy these pictures after the jump.
