The Herbert Hollar

Word To Herbert
Hello Holler fans! I love ya! Herbert and his little shorty shorty have put a bid in on an apartment and it's been accepted! The process will take a minute or so, but when it's done, and we're victorious, we will be some fly-a** homeowners no doubt! And do you wanna know where? Yeah? You do? "Where, Herbert? Where you gonna move to?" Okay, okay. I'll tell you.

BROOOOOOOKLYN!

Wifey and me, we found us a nice little apartment, "Just the Two of Us," in the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill neighborhood of BK, which they designate as "historic." I expect a full revamping of all the landmark signs to mark the residence of the famed New York City disc jockey DJ Herbert, a.k.a. Dr. Hyman, a.k.a. the Casino Kid. It'll go something like this:

"In the early part of 2005, legendary club wrecker and dance floor denizen DJ Herbert moved into the neighborhood with his wife and became a vital, active part of the community, spending what little time he had between big gigs mixing fly-ass music for neighbors at local barber shops and Chinese food joints."

You know I'm gonna be the first mothersucker in the club to start screaming, too, when a Biggie song comes on. Believe that. I'll keep y'all informed of the process no doubt. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

In other news, Freedom was off the hook as usual last week. Big shout out to all the people that came true. The system and new space is crazy, and so are all y'all that come down and sing "Poison" together. And lets not even talk about Social Club. Dang that place was crazy. They must've stuffed 1000 people in there at least. Good party folks, too. Singing and dancing and drinking and wilin' out. Mad fun. Don't sleep.

And still in other news, Nas continues to remind us who won that legendary battle (in my opinion) with his new work. Ridiculous. Hip-hop. Real ish. Out of control.

Peace, love, good health, much success,

DJ Herbert
