The A.N.D.'s No.#1 Spot for DJ's & Independent Artist

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 re...

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 delight...

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 ...

How time fly’s folks and so many things change in a year or as I have coined the phrase “ old schoolers get old, but true schoolers just get better with age .” Another, twelve-month calendar year will soon be coming to a close in just under a week, but before it does I’d like to direct your attention to a young, bright and talented young woman from the A.N.D. ( city of Anderson ) that flew underneath the radar this year. Her name is Kerri Simmons and she is a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina of whom at present currently resides in the metro-Atlanta area. She is the prodigy daughter of Bernard Simmons and Cassandra Ford and I’ve personally observe her gradually come into her own over the years as most millennial's often do during this learning experiment we refer to as life. It is imperative that we intelligent grown folks seek to encourage our youth who are attempting to pursue their dreams. We never can gauge how the right positive words,...

It was a cold wintry night outside on Dec 15, 2017 , but on the inside of Anderson's popular Smokeshak Restaurant & Grill the stage was hot! I had the honor and privilege  of Djing a Def Comedy Jam styled comedy show hosted by Robyn Scott which featured a talented cast of local stand-up comedians..Here are just a few clips I was able to capture from a birds-eye stage view I was privy to in between a couple of sets. This clip is not all of the great comedians who graced the stage  that evening only a few that I was able to shoot between dj-ing. The Smokeshak crew and staff is attempting to bring fresh talent, good food, a safe and entertaining   environment back to the city. They made me feel welcomed and so did all the comics not to mention the audience was all the way live folks! I tip my hat to the whole Smokeshak staff & crew for bringing forth something so sorely missing here in the entertainment sector of the A.N.D. Good Job Melvin and Stormy hopefull...

Facebook Or Fakebook Written, Conceived & Produced By Dj Tuc   The argument and mistakes of those claiming true and what to lookout for will be the theme of this piece. In light of various circumstances which maybe my ancestors seem to guide me through as I walk upon my spiritual path. Lately my third eye sees a lot of folks appear to have hurricane fever, no relation to Irma or Harvey . Destructive mentalities is the symbolism here. I observe so much negative distasteful conflict than positive within the digital social media ghetto network known as Facebook.  I make that analogy because just like in most ghettos through out America, you find people who aspire to be actors , models , rappers , star athletes , hood superstars , religious lay ministers , Imams , or even Rabbi’s depending upon the city or circles we travel in. The same can be attributed to social media.   Add a laundry list of Dope Boy Magic flashing guns , mac daddy attention se...
