DJ Jazzy Jeff: Vinyl Destination ep. 12:: The DJ That Never Sleeps

DJ Jazzy Jeff is back in the States and the party continues. Jeff starts out in Vegas then heads straight to Detroit to warm up the crowd for Jill Scott’s Summer Block Party show. The next stop is LA for a day off, Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles and a (not quite) DJ battle with Skillz and DJ Spinone. The crew routes back to Vegas for an exhausting run of three shows and a TV appearance in two days, but will Jeff be able to stay up?

As a part of the two-day Philly Fourth of July Jam concert festival, Philly Fourth of July Jam along with Identity Ink announce a special “Brothers in Arms” performance from Grammy-award winning artists, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots and D’Angelo at the Theatre of the Living Arts the evening of July 3. Keeping the excitement for the entire day, the July 3 festivities kickoff with “The City” Festival at the Piazza in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia. The night will end at Voyeur for Philadelphia Sound Konnoisseurs, a unique DJ event whose past DJs have included Diplo, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Rich Medina. This year’s DJs will be announced in the coming weeks.

Grammy-award winning artists, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and D’Angelo perform as “Brothers in Arms”, a featured event on July 3 as a part of Philly Fourth of July Jam. Featuring the incredible vocal and piano abilities of D’Angelo and the backing of the one of the best musicians in the world today, Questlove, “Brothers in Arms” will take listeners on a sonic experience unlike anything they have ever seen or heard in the past. Sponsored by Heineken, the soon to be sold out event already is generating a buzz in the city and will not be duplicated or recreated again. In March, Questlove and D’Angelo gave a riveting and awe-inspiring performance to a sold out crowd at Brooklyn Bowl in New York. You can expect the “Brothers in Arms” to treat the City of Brotherly Love to a captivating performance as well. Doors open at 10:30pm for this extraordinary event. Tickets are available at www.tlaphilly.com.

“The City” will host tastemakers and trendsetters from around the country as a part of the two-day Philly Fourth of July Jam festival. During the day, there will be a free concert with 10 live musical acts spanning across Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, & EDM, featuring a special headlining performance by R&B act GoGo Morrow. Hosted by radio personality and Fox 29 Entertainment correspondent Quincy “Q-Deezy” Harris and curated by Philly Fourth of July Jam and Live Nation, the event is open to the public and will take place at The Piazza in the Northern Liberties section of Philadelphia from 2pm- 9pm. In addition, Philly Fashion Week will curate a runway showcase highlighting the apparel and accessories from designers all over the country and the Philadelphia Food Trust will provide delicious and diverse food trucks in the region. “The City” is produced by Philly Fourth of July Jam and identity Ink with i-g Creative.

Last but certainly not least, July 3rd ends with one of the hottest international DJ events, Philadelphia Sound Konnoisseurs (PSK). Attendees party deep into the early morning hours and experience some of the hottest DJs in music. The final lineup of DJs for this year’s show will be announced in the upcoming weeks and when you’re treated to past DJs such as Diplo, J Rocc, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Drama, Rich Medina, and DJ Phsh, you know it’s a event that’s not to be missed. The Heineken sponsored event takes place at Club Voyeur in Philadelphia and lasts until 3:30AM. If it’s anything like previous years, club goers will need to get there early before it’s sold out.

Quasimoto “Brothers Can’t See Me” (Madlib)

Another Quasimoto track hits the web  and its titled “Brothers Can’t See Me.” The track will be featured on the new project titled Yessir Whatever which is out now. It’s a pretty dope laid back track. I’ll take it.

Scratches of Diamond D’s classic “Best Kept Secret” at the start of “Brothers Can’t See Me” let you know that the song by rapper/producer Madlib and his alter ego, Quasimoto, hails from the “boom-bap” sector of hip-hop — a district alien to current rap. The tightly truncated snare drum and bouncy kick-drum pattern sound like 1994-’96, but “Brothers Can’t See Me” feels fresher and maybe even more powerful now than it would have back in the day. The song is fuzzy and it slaps. Madlib’s style is matter-of-fact as he takes the mic to set a couple things straight. “I’m Madlib the bad kid. I’m the one that’ll hit you with the total bliss,” he says. “I’m that dirty pop and hiss. My s— sound better than yours, I got the force.” And if you didn’t get the gist, then Diamond D will spell it out for you again. —Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Frannie Kelley, NPR Music’s Microphone Check
