Since I relaunched the site, the comment posting for each article wasn't working properly. I fixed it and you don't have to register to post. To avoid spam and other bullshit, I do have to approve comments. Please leave feedback on the topics I post. I want to know what people think and feel about this Detroit shit.
Tonight, I'll be on the Cultural Vibe radio on MSU's radio station 88.9FM out of East Lansing. I'll be on at 11pm EST, and doing an all Detroit hip hop set of material from the past year and forthcoming followed about an interview. If you are not in the area, you can listen live online at www.impact89fm.org.

So after living like rock star this passed weekend getting wasted at various parties at The Buzz Bar and Fi-nite Gallery, along with the Sunglasses At Day party at the Old Miami, a sense of accomplishment along with a sense of regret comes over me. I feel like I should be sharing my interesting life more on this site, so I'm going to eventually tweek the site a little bit more. During my journalistic phase while writing for Real Detroit Weekly, I felt to try to make this site more of an online 'zine, but I just can't do that myself and I can't find enough people that share the love for what I do to help out in that manner (as much as some people like to talk like they do). I was thinking that 6 years ago I used to run this site much like a "blog" site before "blogging" become so popular, so fuck it, I'm going to go back to that. I'm going to bring much more of a personal element to the site again because honesty my life is alot more interesting now and I'm much more comfortable putting myself as the center of attention now.
Expect more updates about songs I hear, CDs i get, parties i'm going and been to, pictures from parties and such. I'm just trying to bring much more of an aural and visual presense to the site again because I just think there is a small group of us in Detroit that are really trying to change the game a bit and make things more fun and interesting.
I invite people to hit me up if they have a new CD, new tracks, or whatever. I'm a busy dude so sometimes I can't get to things real quick but I'll try my hardest. I know this is personally opening it up for ALOT of wack shit to come my way, but screw it. Remember though that I only deal with quality music, so don't send me no bullshit.
Expect mixes and podcasts soon also. On a regular basis I want to put stuff that I'm feeling into a nice podcast show, and I want to make some nice DJ mixes just to show people how I play. People in Detroit know I spin, but they don't know how and what I spin. I've kinda changed it up a bit since I started using Serato. I get to play more music I'm really passionate about now!!!
Anyways. Email me. djkfresh@rensoul.com.

The Fresh Corporation along with Rensoul.com is adding a new twist to their already infamous party line-up this Memorial Day Weekend with the installment of “Shake it Down.” Highlighting this event will be the Spank Rock DJ’s, Devlin and Darko, making their Detroit debut as a pair. This dance party extraordinaire will be at the legendary Masonic Temple on May 27th, with Baltimore newcomer Tittsworth and resident DJ’s John Arnold and K-Fresh accompanying Devlin and Darko. Adriel, who is one of Detroit’s premiere event producers, will host this spanking new event.
Reflecting the party rap atmosphere of Baltimore's club scene, Spank Rock arrived as one of the best things to happen to both underground hip-hop and dirty rap, a pair of styles that rarely intermingle. Influenced by Baltimore's fertile but rarely exported club scene, Spank Rock tracks were influenced by the skeletal break beats of electro and bass, glitch and grime, while MC Spank Rock proved up to the task of conjuring the hypersexual rhymes necessary for a genuine Baltimore flavor. Signed to the British label Big Dada, the duo turned heads with early singles "Backyard Betty" and "Rick Rubin." Spank Rock's debut album, YoYoYoYoYo, appeared in April 2006. Their success has provided Spank Rock with a spot on Madden ’07, a gig on the Jimmy Kimmel show, as well as appearances spanning the entire world.
“Shake it Down” will be held on Sunday May 27th at the Masonic Temple with doors at 11 pm. The event will cost $10 and is an 18 + up show with valid identification.
