And the”new” starting point guard, suiting up  for  Team USA, a former US Senator, Harvard Grad, community organizer, husband and father of two…numberrrrrrrrr 44, Barack Obama!

Okay, yes, he’s our first Black President. And true, his candidacy and his being elected has united and excited the populous, cool. But let’s get to what’s  really important (at least to us B-Ball lovers). It’s November, and Barack Obama is the first President to have some respectable skillz on the basketball court, not to mention some notable  swagger and intellect off the court. – TMNK

For those that don’t know, TMNK (The Me Nobody Knows) is a sick ass arteeeeest, who does fresh urban contemporary art. You can peep his works here! & buy them here!

My President is Barack Obama.

The good homie SAKE1 is throwing his weekly event PST (Pacific Standard Time) for FREE tonight!!!

A CELEBRATION OF CHANGE
Today is a historic day, not only in the US but across the globe as our country stands poised to make a significant change from the policies of the G.W. Bush era. Numerous local and state candidates and ballot initiatives here in California offer voters a chance to push further for change, and to stop reactionary propositions like Props 6, 8 and 9 dead in their tracks. Tonite is a night to celebrate!! Our friends at Current TV will have numerous plasma screen TVs set up at 330 Ritch at 5pm, and it will be free to enter from 5pm until 2am. We have the Bay Area’s top DJs donating their time to rock the spot from 9pm onward….

8 DJs ROCKING TONITE!! | No cover charge all night Historic moments call for top-notch DJ lineups, and our homies really came through for us on this one! Mind Motion, D Sharp, Mr. E, DJ Platurn, Mpenzi, KingMost, Aebl Dee and of course our resident DJ, Sake1 will ALL be rocking sets tonight!! Wear your OBAMA t-shirts and get your photo snapped by world famous photographer Robyn Twomey, who will have a special booth set up. Drink specials, superb sound and ambiance, and NO COVER CHARGE!! Let’s celebrate together, as one communit tonight….

Nice lil mixtape bigging up Obama…

I LOVE his answer about what’s the one thing he would change in sports!! I’M ALL FOR THAT!!

Just in time for the biggest day of the year if not Our natural born lives, comes some new inspirational freshness! Our boy DERT‘s song “Wishing” is a musical production that ushers in a chant by DERT letting us know that “Change…Gon(na)…Come”, using a Common sample “I’m wishing for a change”, it clearly speaks to the youth & O.G.’s who know what time it is even without a Swatch watch.

Take a listening!
