New 90s Mixtape!

We all know what songs we love, love to hate and somehow know every word. This mixtape is loaded with good 90s hip-hop and some more fun but classic 90s hits. This thing was done months ago but was held down by technical difficulties (we're idiots) LOL

ENJOY!

Croc's Cancelled Last Night

Sorry to anyone who came through and we weren't there. We arrived and Crocs had certain issues with their bathroom, combined with weather and day after St. Patty's parade they decided to cancel last night when we arrived. No worries, we're still usually there on Sundays.

Out of Control!






Thanks to The Fam (you cats got us supa drunk), Spence of Hip-hop Congress, Kristen, Nicole (bartending the best), Gabe (managing the best), Carla (looking hot lady!), Lenya & Leena, and host of others getting pirate drunk at Beat the Clock Night at Funky Buddha!

All I have to say is that we suck at having a sober night! Everybody killed it with cheap drinks and Jameson. Girls flirting, dancing and buying us drinks. Charley hitting the cuts with mastery and just one fun time.

Big ups to Charley for being Iz's wingman on the cuts.

Also somehow we only got shots of Iz getting kisses ...that conceded bastard!

Amateur Ape at Trike Night






Last night after beginning in a classy Old-English-Strawberry-Andre-Miller-Lite-way we all went to Trike Night at the Dark Horse in Boulder. It was super fun watching peeps riding around on an adult-sized big wheel drinking a shot and slamming a beer. Everyone was just sloshed and would cruise on the straight aways but cut the corners to short and snag their wheel. HILARIOUS!

B$ and Ginger were a team and showed their skills. We are thinking about bringing a 'trike' to our shows from here on out. WORD.

End of the night freestyle was fresh as well. Mr. Sleeps you rock!

Big ups to Ginger and Mr. Sleeps for hitting the Dark Horse with us.

Andrew's Was Rocking Last Night






Thanks to The Fam (you know who you are and thanks for the beer), Haven (AM/Tetra), Spence (Hip-hop Congress), B-boys Ado, Jacob and Soul Mechanics Krew (Colorado Springs), Matt (theGroProject), Skip (Against the Grain), Dash (Freak With This), Larry Love and friends, Evan (GWT), b-girl Paige, Andrew and Doug (UNC Alumni), Eric and Brian (Scare Everyone), Kelly and Chris behind the bar and all the peeps.

Serious props to all who traveled north. I'm no b-boy but there seemed to be some competitive blood between Soul Mechanics Krew of Colorado Springs and the Denver cats. 3 Hours of dance.

Amateur Ape Loves You,

Crocs Rocks SUNDAY WORD






Big thanks to all the Croc's staff (both working and off work) even though they fell into our equipment and called us Jimmy and George. LOVE YA! Cheers to the dude in orange requesting dopeness. Oh and super thanks to the girls who ordered bottle service; excellently made drinks for the DJs.

Killed it again thanks to hardcore drinking and dope hip-hop. We love CROCS!

And of course, SPENCE FROM HIP-HOP CONGRESS! There's more hip-hop in this cat's left toe than the whole rest of Denver. Happy b-day bro.

People Getting Funky at the Funky Buddha






Thanks to the fam (we don't say names but u know who u are)! Thanks to Nicole and Brandon for setting this night up. Thanks to Gabriella, Dan, B-boy Task (GWT) and friends, Spence (Hip-hop Congress), Cierra and company, DJ Gyp DaHip and Ginger. WORD

Last night was super fun! Everybody was dancing and drunk which is pretty much our entire job. Cierra crushed the dance floor along with the b-boys. We kept them rocking and rolling. Peep some of these photos.

Big ups to Brandon for taking a chance with us and Nicole for always killing the bar. We fully enjoy hip-hop and so do they.

Thanks to the cat who requested 'Lady Don't Tek No;' Somehow both of us didn't have that classic but do now.

Monday Funday!






Big ups and thanks to Dj Ear Attent, emcee Zin, Larry Love, Andrew, Kevin, Nicole (miss rocka), Jared (mister pop-locker), Carolyn, Aelana, Meisha, Candyman, Spence (Hip-hop Congress) b-boys Dash (Freak With This), Task (GWT), Ado (GWT) and
b-girl Paige....and of course our favorite bartenders Larry and Angel!

What a great night! Drinkers, hip-hop heads and fam.

The night began in a typical fashion for Amateur Ape, small technical problems. Our friend Serato decided she was nothing but a bitch early on for I.Z. and demanded that reboot while B$ was able to add another faulty turntable to the list of fix-its. Regardless the tunes raged.

B-Money making friendly with guests allowed for an I.Z. hour or two at the opening. Dj Ear Attent hit it late and again dropped his signature 'Bear Necessities' straight rocking the crowd.

R.I.P. Iz's beer mug which he set right next to the sub-woofer. IDIOT :) Thanks to Candyman for the glass clean-up under the Dj table.

Sunday Crocs: Input and Prep School Stopped By

Big thanks to Spence of Hip-hop Congress, Prep School (of Chicago) which includes ol' skool friends Jimi and Naj, Input the suburban herb-love your ass, b-girl Paige, b-boys Dash (Freak With This) , Cosmo, Even (of GWT) and Fate (of GWT).

Thanks to new peeps Adam (who I met long ago thru Carla at Paramount), Tera (lil miss dance shoes), Meisha, Becky and peeps.

Last night was super nice. The weather was more wet than cold and gave the night that shine. Peeps were already there ready to rock when we arrived even on a Sunday. Much love to Larry and Angel, our favorite bartenders always.

Our b-boy family came out in a major way to make moves. Fate gave me his lyrical version of 'Deliverance' by Bubba Sparxxx....hilarious: 'Grab an 8-ball and fly up I-25.' Prep School stopped in on their last and thankfully less dramatic night on tour; we're trying to get these cats to move to the Mile High.

As elusive as a mountain snow cheetah, we actaully saw Input cold rockin' domestics in a booth. We thank him for making the 3-day journey from the suburbs near DIA....love ya!

On a sonic note, the joint has replaced certain blown speakers but should replace certain amps which come and go halfing or doubling the volume at random. The good thing about this is they're aware and are actually working on it.
