When Culture and Good Music Collide---An Unforgettable Birthday Celebration is Born!!

Image
Last weekend while most college football fans were getting together for one of the biggest college games of the year here in the upstate of South Carolina. Yeap you got it, The Clemson Tigers vs. the Carolina Game Cocks went down in Clemson, S.C. What most don't know is I'm a Carolina fan whether it be the Game Cocks or Panthers. But I'm not a fanatic ( fan-addict, addicted, addiction ) as you can plainly see it right there in the word but that's a side  issue. Being absent minded that day I received a phone call reminding me that traffic would be heavy due to Saturdays game day  traffic. But all would end up just dandy little did I know before the evening would end thinking only at that moment about the dreaded bumper to bumper traffic.   Making my way through the city of purple and orange with tiger paws laced on almost every other vehicle on the road that day, I patiently waded through heavy traffic on my way to Seneca, SC. to play a surprise birthday

Just What Is This Red Velvet Cafe?--That Has So Many People Talking!!

Image
Favor Edition Coming Soon.  Many have asked , many have wondered, many have pondered, many have been simply misinformed about this one question. What is or where is exactly this Red Velvet Café ? People say hey Tuc.. “ I wanted to checkout this place you and Kevin are promoting but I wasn’t quite sure of what it was .” So as most visionaries when they see a void in their immediate surroundings they learn to swiftly formulate an idea in an attempt to fill that vacancy hopefully.                                           The gift and curse to such progressive thinking is that social revolutionary movements are met with positivity in most cases, yet suspicion albeit a laudable undertaking sometimes it’s slow for people to catch on. In theory it may be due to the fact that people like us are the first to hit the barbed wire so to speak. Now I will attempt to clear-up the ambiguity on just what the Red Velvet Café is and isn’t. The concept was conceived close to a

K-TRIK-E...The A.N.D's 2018 Bounce Back Veteran Proves Why Once Again!!!!!!!

Image
Michael Collier whose stage alias is K-TRIK-E ( all caps as he often reminds me ) is a recording artist/song writer for JETGLAM Ent that most locals in the city of Anderson are familiar with. Recently he released his forthcoming video installment titled “ Thug Love ” a martial arts infused narrative which explores life, love and betrayal through his visionary eyes, and artistic creative expression. When the A.N.D.’s veteran recording artist approached me about making a cameo appearance in his latest video conception, of course I had no reservations. We’ve shared mutual respect for one another for years. You see, being acquainted with TRIK UNCEE since the early start of his burgeoning career in the mid to late nineties. I’ve witness a few of his ups and downs, triumphs and failures as he traveled the rough and rugged road to his present-day metamorphosis into the resilient die-hard entertainment artist I know him as today. He’s been maligned by his detractors

The Daddy Denominator..Fact or Fiction? YOU DECIDE!

  Op-Ed Written By: Guest Editor Simply Sisireia & republished By djtuc999.com One man, five women and seven children .  Doesn’t seem real , but it is and it is more common than you may think.  This is something that has become somewhat of an epidemic, especially within the black community; multiple women sharing children by the same man. What’s more important sometimes in these situations, is the fact that the children suffer the most.  Sometimes the adults are so selfish that they neglect the most precious and undoubtedly the most positive things to come out of these situations, the children.   Children Are The Future. Yours and Mine.. I want to speak to women that may be in these situations.  Specifically I want to say, Stop depriving your children of relationships with their siblings because you are angry with the way things turned out between you and their father. So things didn’t work out, that’s no reason to keep your children from g

How One Of The Greatest DJ Tributes Came To Fruition In The Summer Of 2018--In da A.N.D.

Pic from the actual show.  It's been a week or so , since one of the greatest summer show events took place on the out skirts of the city of Anderson. Also, it’s been a while since I last had the time to drop a fresh new article up on my site. In a way I guess that could be a good thing, because that means I have had less time due to obligations, involving family, spiritual improvement, shows and business clientele. I feel at this stage in my life and career I’m fortunate that a lot of people still think of my Dj skill set as viable.  And as for insignificant negative folks i.e. " haters " I think is the termed used nowadays, I'm to busy involved running my business, my brand, and helping other like minded folks making differences in the community to pay any attention. No better example of this than at the DJ Super Police Commemoration Weekend of June 30’ 2018 in remembrance of an Anderson legendary Dee-Jay that was well known for his vibrant pe

BREAKING: Anderson's Chadwick Boseman To Host SNL Next Month

Image
According to Danette Chavez @ the avclub.com  Chadwick Boseman has played James Brown and Thurgood Marshall , and recently proved that he could launch a billion-dollar movie franchise with panache. Now he’s going to give sketch comedy a shot:  Entertainment Weekly reports that the Black Panther star will host Saturday Night Live on April 7.  Boseman will be joined by musical guest Cardi B, whose full-length debut is also expected next month . The Marshall actor is the first announced host of April 2018, but he’s the latest in a long line of MCU actors to make their way to Studio 8-H. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, and Chris Pratt have all taken turns hosting SNL , though they weren’t promoting two Marvel films at once. That’s all Boseman, who stars in acclaimed  Black Panther and the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War .  Click here to read the popular article I wrote about our hometown local hero last month & the release of The Movie Black

Panther Power Resurrects This Week In Anderson For Black History Month: --- An Epic Celebration For All!!

Image
Chadwick Boseman as The Black Panther As most of us from the urban community of the A.N.D. ( Anderson, S.C .) are aware of, this looks to be an unforgettable Black History Month for African-Americans , not just us but the entire city will be basking in the lime-light nationwide this February sixteenth. We have our own gracing the big-screen in director Ryan Coogler’s Marvel Comic Classic entitled “ Black Panther ”. It will be featuring an Anderson Home-Town prodigy in a leading role by the name of Chadwick ( Chad ) Boseman . With unprecedented anticipation and high reviews, it could be easily one of the best Marvel Comic hero movies to date. In my opinion the scheduled timing of this momentous release couldn’t have been more paramount.   During a time when this country ( America ) is more polarized and divided than it’s ever been since the turbulent racial angst of the sixties. I feel most can agree that Dr. King if still living, would be most delighted a

4-4 Water--- Wants To Know How You Feel Now? (Must See Video)

Image
Make no mistake , it gives me great pleasure to help get behind Lerion ( 4-4 Water) Walker and doing my part to help assist this brother with the promotion of his new forthcoming album #NOSleepCampaign 2.0.  I've done this for many artist and also Dj's from the City of Anderson (da A.N.D.) for many years now. I ask for no reward, recognition or special favors from none.  Most folks that know of me, know my track record and organically respect me for my work. Its not really work when one loves what they do. First things first though, I've known 4-4 Water for years and I'm not the bandwagon jumping type. So for you naysayers who would  suggest differently, you had best check my resume' and I will check yours to see your body of work, when supporting other than yourself. It frustrates me in a sense when hard working artist from the A.N.D. like 4-4 have been grinding for years, producing quality lyrical content, mixtapes, solid musical production and his own
