24hrs with LMNO. A short but sweet video of our quick trip to Vegas - a trip we all know too well.
On Friday, September 4th of this year, I was invited to tag along on LMNO's journey to Las Vegas where he had a show at the Bunkhouse. We were only going to be gone for 24hrs, but that's all it took for us to leave a lasting impression on the Las Vegas hip-hop scene.
The pictures I took were horrible so I'm only putting up a few that came out okay.
This guy had an original Battle Axe copy of LMNO's Grin & Bear It - if you have one, consider yourself lucky, you CAN NOT find that in the LA area anymore.
And of course, the limited LRG "LEAVE MY NAME OUT" t-shirts. Only sold at shows.
This had nothing to do with the show, but on the way home we saw this cloud...or was it cloud? What does it look like to you?

LMNO & YANN KESZ DEVILISH DANDRUFF WITH HOLY SHAMPOO new album in stores 11.17.09
The exclusive Up Above Pete Rock 12" vinyl is now available for digital download on iTunes, Amazon, and all other digital outlets.
This newfound classic is another tailor-made track from the DJ Rhettmatic Exclusive Collection album on Up Above Records. Pete Rock builds up a bass-heavy and soulfully-knocking rhythm for his multi-talented brother Grap Luva to slickly tattoo his unique brand of candid and straightforward lyrics. This engaging piece is just another testament to Pete Rock, one of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time.
Tracklist: A1: Collector's Item ft. Grap Luva & Kev Brown (Main) A2: Collector's Item ft. Grap Luva & Kev Brown (Instrumental) B1: Blindsided ft. KeyKool, LMNO & DJ Rhettmatic (Main) B2: Blindsided ft. KeyKool, LMNO & DJ Rhettmatic (Instrumental) B3: Blindsided ft. KeyKool, LMNO & DJ Rhettmatic (Acapella)
I've only seen a few Visionaries tattoo's in my lifetime. The most memorable was at a Visionaries show; a couple had the eyecon on their wrists. I talked to them for a few minutes, got to take a picture of it, and I even saw the same couple shopping in downtown Santa Barbra some years later. KeyKool later told me he knew them and they even named their dog Rhettmatic.
At this past LMNO / Dilated Peoples show at the Key Club in Hollywood, I was kicking it with law_of_gravity, who in my opinion, is one of the biggest Visionaries fans, let alone hip-hop heads on the planet. Well, he introduced me to his friend Lilly, who had a huge eyecon on her forearm...WOW...
So, if you or anyone you know has a Visionaries eyecon tattoo - send it to the Visionaries facebook or myspace page!
DJ Spinna is hands down one of the illest to come out of the East Coast.
