Chali 2na made a quick trip to the offices of Collective Voice. Dude was hella cool. Always nice to meet one of your idols and they are as big in real life as they are through their art. He is rocking a show tonight at Refuge in Portland.
Last night at Refuge was epic. Thanks to Collective Voice for helping put on an amazing show like that one. Digital Underground was sick and I got to have a dance battle with Humpty Hump in the green room. Happy Halloween.
Trying to make a dollar out of 15cent. A dime and a nickle.

Cars & Trains "We Are All Fire" Live at Berbatis Pan. Portland CD Release Party. Some of my classic phone footage. Only got about half the song and my phone ran out of space. But Cars & Trains new CD We Are All Fire is amazing. Please go check it out. I know you can listen to it on Spotify but you should really go purchase the whole thing.

Mine+US & DJ Hoppa – Avantgardening: Cultivating Food For Thought (2006)
mine+US (prounounced ‘minus’) hails from a small Petri dish of a town
in the neo-conservative state of Arizona. Like most american born kids
he spent most of his time as a child listening to crappy pop tunes and
being a good little consumer. Though as mine+us grew older he began to
develop a secret distaste for society and its oppressors. This disgust
grew into hatred for authoritative teachers and fake friendly smiles.
Around the same time he began to keep his thoughts hidden in between
the lines of his rhyme book, confining himself to weekend feasts of half
ounces and foreign films, straying from the porcelain personas he once
knew.
Meeting DJ Hoppa in the summer of 2002, Mine+US found the perfect
musical canvas to express his lyrical talents and songwriting, creating
their first album Avantgardening, an epic, innovative album four years
in the making, about life, love, and politics.
Following two years of nationwide touring, Mine+US went back into the
studio with DJ Hoppa to create their sophomore album, Day By Day,
showcasing his musical and personal growth into a sharp, well-rounded
lyricist.
Currently, mine+US is focused on recording for a slew of upcoming
projects and features, as well as booking performances in a city near
you.
