The fourth edition of Dope On Plastic will take place next Saturday. This month’s guest will be Austin’s own Prince Klassen. Klassen just returned from a couple month stay in Japan and is ready to drop some Gems on you. This dude stays digging and I am super excited to have him back in Dallas for this event. Come through and rock with us. All vinyl and it’s FREE folks!

This has been one long weekend! Big thanks to 7L for coming through and rocking out with us. I would also like to thank: Dj Sun, Dayta, El Roy, A1, Schwa, Oneoctobernight and everyone else that came out and had a good time. The pics from Boondocks are up here. We will have Excel joining us for next month’s Top Notch. Stay tuned.

I just got off the phone with my contact over at the Palladium Showroom and he hooked me up with two pair of tickets to giveaway to the Sharon Jones show on September 23rd. I am super excited about this show, especially after an amazing performance by label mates The Budos Band a couple of nights ago at Granada Theater. If you are interested in these tickets, shoot me an email with Sharon Jones in the subject line. decadepromo@gmail.com

7L just finished up a new dance mix in time for his little TX mini tour. I gave it a listen a few nights ago and it is jamming on the one! I posted a link to 7L’s Soundcloud site below, where you can grab this mix as well as others. He should have some physical copies on hand as well. See y’all this weekend.

BLADERUNNER 7L - WHAT’S THAT NOISE?

The first “Decade Lifestyle” video is complete. Kiddrae did an amazing job putting this together. This is only the beginning folks. Thanks again to our lovely model Yasmin. Also, keep your eyes peeled for a version of the tank in black, dropping next week!

That’s right, It’s that time of the month again. Top Notch is going down next weekend. We have the good Homie 7L (Bladerunners) joining us by way of Boston. He rocked with us a back in January. You can check the little Q&A we did right here. Be sure and make it out. 7L rips it!

Below is the last non album leak from Black El & Durkin. Grab this laid back track and give it a spin by the pool. Also, be sure and cop the album Color Commentary when it drops on the 31st.

BLACK EL – THE RIDE

Check out this new heat from The Boston Homies Durkin and Black El. “Milf  & Cookies” is an ode to all the fly older women out there. You can grab this track and others right here. Big up to Ghostdad for the ill video chops! Don’t sleep. These are dudes to watch out for.

It’s that time again kiddos! Dope On Plastic is going down on August 21st. The last two have been a huge success and I have a feeling this one is going to be even bigger. The good Homie A1 will be returning from his tour abroad w/ Mrs. Badu. This is going to be a special night because I know Arnold has some of the deepest crates in Texas. Dude has been digging since most of us were in diapers! Get ready.

Here are a few screen shots from today’s video shoot at the lake. Special thanks to Yasmin for traipsing through questionable grounds and standing around in the hot sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the finished product sometime over the next few days.

This Friday The Sour Grapes crew will be showing some new paintings and releasing a new shirt design to the world. These dudes stay busy! Take notes kids. If you are in the Dallas area, swing through and support the Grapes y Coco André. Also, check out SG13 crew member Alejandro Diaz’s new site. Hot Sauce!

The kind people over at AEG Live hooked me up with a pair of tickets to the Chromeo and Holy Ghost show happening here in Dallas on August 25th. If you are interested in seeing this show FREE of charge, hit me up at: decadepromo@gmail.com Please include Chromeo in the subject line of the email and give me a good reason you need these tickets in your life.
