What is the best thing about the west coast?
Since I grew and got all my game in Oakland, I'm addicted to this lovely California lifestyle that I dig. Like Pac: "Up early in the morning. Breath stinking and I'm yawning. Just another sunny day in California." Whether it's the all-out grinding and nonconformist mentality of my hometown, the laidback and chill vibe of Los Angeles, Seattle's crispy clean air or Las Vegas' shiny lights and excess, the West has so all you can ask for.
What west coast artist do you have bumping in your CD right now?
I'm feeling Guerilla Black, The Federation, 213, Houston, 4th Avenue Jones, Hieroglyphics, Jurassic 5, Medusa, The Coup and some of that old Ice Cube is always on repeat.
Favorite west coast Hot spot/nightclub?
When I'm in Las Vegas it's the Mandalay Bay's Rum Jungle restaurant, the MGM buffet and P.F. Chang's at the Aladdin. In LA, I like Pearl, the Highlands, Cabo Cantina, The Standard downtown, House of Blues or Key Club for a show.
West coast eatery that everyone must check out soon?
G. Garvin's, Serving Spoon, Dolce, Balboa at The Grafton on Sunset Blvd, Versaille's Cuban Restaurant, Magic Johnson's Friday's and Angelina's Soul Food in North Hollywood.
Occupation?
How do I pay the bills?! "I'm a hustler baby!" I write magazine pieces on pop luminaries like Ludacris, Amerie, Suge Knight and Jon Favreau for America, King, Complex, Vibe and other publications. I also write and produce TV shows like Showtime At The Apollo on NBC, VIBE Awards, FAME on NBC and the NAACP Image Awards on FOX. I'm currently producing and writing the documentary Fight For Power: The National Hip-Hop Political Convention, which will air this October right before the election. And I will be in Athens, Greece this August working as a writer and producer for NBC Sports and Pat' O Brien. But my most important job is making sure I play my part in training the next generation of young hip-hop entrepreneurs and activists.

P-Frankie,
When your done hobnobbing with Marion Jones, getting crunk w/ Pat O'Brien over some souvlaki, can you call your Toronto homey, so we can do the WORLD takeover thing (pls. refer to Higgins NHHPC ramble). I'm in the Windy City right now (no more Jamal Crawford, is Paxson nuts!?!), will be back in Tdot Sept., after Olympics. Uh-huh.
