LEGENDARY LOCAL DJ INTERVIEWS LEGENDARY INTERNATIONAL DJ FROM SAME LOCALE

Mr. Bliz got his journalism on this weekend by “interviewing” (if you can really call it that) troubled-Philly-kid-turned-international-
superstar-DJ, Mr. DJ AM. His story is certainly an inspiring one, regardless of how brief this interview is. If you have 16 seconds to spare, you can check the entirety of the interview HERE.

All jokes aside, shouts to the fine folks of Phrequency who are really doing a fine job of documenting the Philadelphia nightlife scene. And, they refered to Bliz as a “legendary local DJ” in the story! GET EM BLIZ!

Wash Your Nuts First.

If you see me in the streets with a hot pink Wu-Tang t-shirt on ask me about it.

You’re Very Beautiful

Congrats to my friend Nick Palermo who was involved in the publication of an extremely dope book. It is now out and can be purchased online at http://www.youreverybeautiful.com/.

It is a collection of pictures and words illustrating life in the Philadelphia neighborhoods of Frankford, Juniata, Kensington, Port Richmond, and Fishtown.

I’m really proud of these guys for putting in the effort to chronicle their lives and our city. They didn’t just do it, they did it well.

GOOD SHIT! COP THAT!
