What up S.O.B.'s Family,
Just dropping a quick note to let you know that S.O.B.'s has been on FIRE this week. It all started with one of the hottest hip-hop shows of the year (that's right, I said it, it's July and we're already making that claim for 2008!!), with WALE, BLU & EXILE, SKILLZ, TALIB KWELI, AOK and hosted by Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg and 88.9fm's Sucio Smash. Big up to all the perfomers, Digiwax, Flavorpill and everybody else who made this show happen.
"The show was held in the legendary nightclub S.O.B.’s which is like the last venue left standing from grimy NYC. If you are an underground emcee living in the tri-state area and you haven’t rocked the mic at S.O.B.’s or even been to show there for that matter please retire from the game." -Dallas Penn, XXLmag.com
LINE AROUND THE BLOCK FROM S.O.B.'s at 6:30pm

To follow that concert, last night, spoken word icon and rap-meets-punk rock beast, SAUL WILLIAMS, came through and absolutely tore the roof off of S.O.B.'s. You hear his poems, you see him on TV, he's a calm dude, but see him on stage and he's only one thing: electrifying, RAW ENERGY!

After her Acoustic Soul album -- which includes "A Part of My Life," written by David -- went double platinum and garnered seven Grammy nominations, he followed her on tour, released two independent albums of his own, and then became the first artist signed to Arie's new label, Soulbird.
