The Abominable Snow Man [pictured], Frosty, Young Jeezy, and any other snow creatures you can think of are now on notice. We officially have beef. Don't come around me singing about magic hats or running traps. The nation's capital was hit by two significant snow storms in less than one week, which proved that lightning may not strike twice, but blizzards apparently do.
Normally a little bad weather wouldn't have even been on my radar. But I was in DC to perform at Canibus' Melatonin Magik album release party.
I've had more than my fair share of cancellations but this was a new scenario. Everyone from the venue (Jammin Java) to the label (War Lab Records) and the promoters (BetaRaz Entertainment) wanted this show to happen. F.a.T, my fellow B.A.S.E. Inc member, even had the brilliant idea to broadcast our rehearsal and the show live on the War Lab Records' fan forum. It was set to be "nothing less than epic" as the up-and-coming label's site boasted. It was just a little snow, after all. I learned to drive in bad weather. My first time behind the wheel without supervision was in the snow. No big deal, right?
