SKRATCHPAD

Last week was Skratchpad SF’s 1st night for 2012! DJ Isla opened up. Genie G set it off with the “Mayor of Serramonte”, Derrick D in the house. It was an honor to have these Bay Area legendary DJs present. Genie G played a little bit of everything seamless and clean. He said it was “refreshing to play the good stuff and have people enjoy it—after playing top 40 at other events.” Derrick D thanked Skratchpad SF for “keeping the culture and music alive.” That was a big compliment because he had inspired us to create Skratchpad (as an ode to his past event, Beat Lounge at Club Deco). Jus Jones & Smokestack continued to play the raw ish for the cyphers. The night was packed with B-Boys & B-Girls with a showcase by Forever We Rock & Profowon. And of course, we ended the night with the open tables sesh with beats mixed cleanly by DJs Owlboogie & Primo. Won Way, one of the bays freshest emcees and deejay, grabbed the mic and busted a quick freestyle for Skratchpad SF—off the top. It was pretty much a night of improv Hip Hop steez. All that was missing were the writers! Here’s a glimpse of the party….Hip Hop ya don’t stop! It was the perfect way to set it off for the year.
