Thoughts
Well Summer Fling 2023 has finally arrived! It always seems so far away when it is announced and then sneaks up on you. It has been awesome having Nablonski here for a couple weeks leading up to the event. It feels like we have done a few Summer Flings while he has been here! The format is my favourite of all the formats we have tried over the years. The main show Friday night and the Graff Jam/party with performances throughout the day on the Saturday.
I am really excited to see Sole as always. His last handful of releases have been my favourite of his. He has really dialed everything in and is making the best music of his career in my opinion.
I am really excited to meet and see Id Obelus perform for the first time. I wish he as coming in a few days earlier so we could have some more time to kick it as Friday and Saturday will be long action packed days.
I have never seen Turn The Gun play as Turn the Gun. I am really excited about that as their latest album Perpetual Survival, is one of my favorite releases over the past few years. Yy and The Gumshoe Strut are two of my all time favourite rappers and people so it will be great to catch up as always!
I got a really nice preview of Noblonski’s live performance at our our backyard producer jam last Friday night and I am even more excited to see what he does on Friday and Saturday at the events. I am sure there will be some impromptu beat collaborations on Saturday with Parab Poet so you will not want to miss that.
The graff jam is always my favourite. Hanging with everyone painting is always such a great time! I am excited to see what everyone does!
So if you are in Saskatoon this weekend make sure you check out the show Friday July 21st at Amigos and the Graffiti Jam with lots of live performances on Saturday July 22 at the Night Oven bakery. It is going to be such a great weekend! I am not sure if I will be able to sleep the next couple of days in anticipation.
This weekends events are in celebration of Rove’ sophomore album Poke The Bear! It is such an incredible album! He will have CD’s, tapes and vinyl copies for sale throughout the weekend.
Sorry for the super short one this week. It has been a wild couple weeks since Noblonski arrived and carving out time for this weeks TFTRN was just not in the cards. I warned you last week that these two weeks would be light in content. I didn’t think this one would be as light. As I write this I am devouring pizza after hitting the cypher earlier with the homies Parab Poet, Nolto, Yy, Noblonski, Dren and The Gumshoe Strut. We are waiting for Factor to join us. Rap homies are the best homies and I am really looking forward to more great times this weekend
