When I said I love hip hop, I mean it. Before I became part of the responsible working citizen, I was in SFSU circa '93-97 hangin out with my crew cutting class, talking about hip hop, listening to the newest records, going to shows, collecting 12" for instrumentals...living for Tuesdays when the latest albums and singles dropped. Everyone in the crew had their own taste...but in the end we all shared that same love for the music and in th end we pretty much became family. Yall know who you are...

One of our boys from the family, Dylan, aka Dcode has taken his love for hip hop one step further and actually used his gift for djing, mc'ing and producing and formed an underground hip hop group called Sum of Forces. Comprised of 3 mc's and 1 dj, SOF is true grass roots home grown San Francisco hip hop. They rocked the show with a 5 song set at Amnesia in SF on August 12th. Seeing him up there performing and rocking it live just made me smile from ear to ear...

That's fam right there...please support! If you don't like to get your hands up and get hype, don't bother going to their shows...because they give out and demand alot of energy!


Dcode and Onlychild (she's got an amazing flow and voice...if it weren't for the crappy mics I would have heard her lyrics better).




Practicing before the show...i made sure to annoy him with camera flashes. Oh, and he let me know right away what he thought of my hat...he called me "Sherlock Ho-mo" ...what a freaking ass!
