I had the opportunity to work with some cool folks over at the newly formed Blunted Astronaut Records(UK). Besides me liking the name (and the logo for that matter), the label comes off as the type that actually has love for the music and what it stands for. (But…dont they all TRAC?” my inner voice). Sarcasm aside, teaming up with label Pres. Kuba to help with the grand launch wasnt a problem at all for me.
This all happened because of Philly native and Sp1200 fanatic Drumatic (KicDrumproducts)who caught a whiff of me from previous unreleased joints I did some time ago. Through a couple of co-signs Drumatic and I talked about linking up in the future so it was only right he sent some production for me to check out. In between that time i was in the mist of finishing up on other projects so time was scarce. While on a routine “GO Bus” ride to toronto i finally got the chance listen. I heard a couple that i liked…..until….. there was this smooth jazzy sample accompanied by some soulful bluesy horns. I mustve played it a millions times since that moment….. I was “straight zonin”…..
Stay True became the name of the project just because of the many talks i had about music, life and todays quarrels in society. Its nothing too preachy and im surely not the one to preach it. Its more a self-celebratory thing for those who feel they’ve gotten things right and on their own terms. Music with a message all done in a true Hip-Hop fashion. as it should be.
Shouts to “Ice Rocks” of the DX Army for adding and enhancing the moment with his BBQ remix. Liquors and beats at grandmas studio. I will always cherish the moment…
So the music is now a finished product complete with clear 7 inch vinyl cuts, stickers and some pretty nice artwork all on limited copies. With some upcoming tee’s n such to come soon this makes it pretty much worth the cop to collect, or if you miss that warm vinyl sound. MP3′s are to follow sometime in the near.
Ok enuff of the rapper talking, check out the songs for yourselves and let them know how you feel about it …
Upon my stays up in good ol Toronto, I got the chance to witness growth in action amongst the few people I ran into. One of them is none other than the energetic busy body known as DJ Jase Cozmic aka Black Irish.
Truth be told, while networking with Coz I must’ve at least lost a few unwanted pounds from just running around the city and touching base with industry heads and artist alike. But it was that kind of ground work and dedication that led this fella along with DJ Killa Beckz in to forming a popular indie radio show known as G5.
You might have caught me co hosting and interviewing from time to time with fellow co host Carla Magna. Regardless, the show has became a great base for upcoming Canadian artist to show their talent(s) along with your more established artist. Did i mention Coz can B-boy and “Break” like no other? “The boy gets down with his….”
So reppin’ for the G5 crew is the man himself…. check it out
1. I know that you and Beckz are True Hip Hop Canadian vets of the scene. What got you started to be involved in this Culture?
I got involved from the Dance side of Hip Hop culture, My older Brother used to dance and beat box so I was
exposed to Hip Hop early from about 8 or 9 yrs old. Along with spending a lot of time in Queens NY I would dance
at the block party both here in T.O and in NY.
2.To me, the hip hop culture in Toronto is very alive and the music speaks for itself with the fact you have some veteran Artists, graffers and Dancers all showing their love in every shape or form. Can you give a little chat of how Hip Hop got started in Tdot?
Honestly I can’t say when it got started cuz I’ve always been apart of it. For as long as I could remember I saw Hip Hop
on both sides of the border. There was never a time when Hip Hop didn’t exist when I was home in T.O.
3.What are some of your favorite all time records?
I would have to say Diamond D The Stunts & Blunts Album, Da La Soul’s Breakadawn single and King Just Warriors Drum single. Bcuz thats when I first started Djing
and I used to love cutting the instrumentals.
4. Who are some of your favorite artist?
Can’t Say I have any favorites there are too many artist to enjoy for me to have a favorite, plus like a lot of different styles. Hip Hop open me up to different types of
music on a whole. Jazz from Big Daddy, Tribe, DITC, Organized Confusion , Gang Starr R.I.P GuRu and most east coast artist Shoot you member Son of Berserk yeah Man!
Funk from the west coast Ice.T, MC. Eight, REN, DR. Dre, N.W.A Snoop, Spice One.
Then I got into House and Electronic from Jungle Brothers and the whole UK explosion of MC’s Dudes can’t even try to remember Tricky Soul to Soul Love and Laughter
Dang! I could go on… Even Reggae lots of Heads were using reggae samples in their tunes too.
5. We are in 2011 and we still hear the talk of how hip hop is dead. .. what are your thoughts on this and how can we save it, if it is indeed on its deathbed?
Chris the teacher KRS One said that “we must embrace the future not be afraid of it” So I’ve believe in that. We have to embrace what’s going on in the 20now .
I feel Nas said Hip Hop was dead cuz to him it felt like it. Hip Hop gives you a voice when you want to be heard. He said it and made a dope record too.
I just don’t feel cats that say it’s dead and make weak records dissing everything or making no records at all.
Plus as Hip Hop lovers we had our time like our parents had their time with their music and trust me their parents our grand parents didn’t like what they were listening too back then.
Everybody has the right to an opinion, but’s it your actions that really matter for those who think its dead don’t listen to the Hip Hop that makes you feel like it’s dead.
Honestly I think the heads that said it was dead or thought that. Did something about it, and that’s why the Hop has gotten better, they made that BOOM BAMP we love and kids are starting to as well…
6. You and Beckz have done a slew of parties across the Dot in your time…any favorites?
The Soul Sessions at Rear View Mirror would go down as the best but I know there is better to come. I’m always looking for the next big memory or thrill life’s too short.
R.I.P all those who aren’t here with us now we’ll be all together again. One Love.
7. Lets Talk about G5 Canadian Urban show on Indieloveradio. The show has done a service to many upcoming local artist as well as pretty known entertainers. The show has been an underground success in general. How did the show gain its notoriety?
We just push it. I mean it not only for us to spin but for new artist to be heard. Simple! I just want to give artist that feeling of “yo their playing my song”
Spread love, get love.
9. Any favorite indie artist you see doing the some great things later?
8. WOW! a few… T.R.A.C. no plug intended but you really are getting it in my dude. Trace Motivate, Mr. Matrix, HL, R-Tripz, Nyce Touch SEP, Lisa Banton even our own Carla Magna
and list goes on trust me.
10. Anything planned for the future that you can hint us with?
Just trying to tour. I wanna see the world and link, learn from other heads out there. You know Drake says it best “everybody dies but not everybody lives” really thats some
ish. in fact the world is huge and so is Hip Hop.
10. Anything planned for the future that you can hint us with?
Thanks for talk fellas.
Thank you for the time I wish all the best in your adventures and keep us on the mailing list …….
100 Shadang!
Hip Hop, Shmip Shmop, Lets get outta here for sec…
With all the madness going on with promoting myself, the album, and rocking out at these crazy parties downtime has not been easy to come by. Even as i write this blog im doing it in the wee hrs of the morning. Fortunately for me there came some moments of downtime that had to be taken.
Shout outs to Lou (Amir inks) for the foot walk across this gorgeous city. I swear everything looks like its been in a James Bond flick. From first impressions Vienna feels like the 80′s in NYC minus the smog and the high crime rate. Very beautiful on the eye especially looking at these old styled buildings n such.
Shouts to the homie Jackson as well..somehow we found more time… and then we found bike time which seems like the proper way to view the city if you can manage the grueling traffic. Stopping at red lights and dodging street cars? Ive been a bad new yorker. the way the bikes paths are created it seems to take you on a journey past historical spots throughout the city.. I didnt have a camera, but lucky for me ummmm……
Along the biking we decided to check some Graff along the Danube River. They actually have a graffiti zone in Vienna. Cool stuff…
Fresh off my Tribe moment in BK Im back once again(horns)!!!..Q tip just gave a memorable performance with a “hella” bunch of surprise guesses. Being it was my first time catching him in action i surely acted my shoe size on that fateful day ..pity me, pity me.. but I was refreshed!!!!
So its only right that the shine right now goes to the homie Preach. Dude is a tribe lover like me and the inspiration shows in his music. Straight from Columbia, South Carolina dude has been making some moves with a few projects under his belt including one with Nicolay and a future project with Marc Mac(waddup!)
Some good stuff here.. Peep these 2 of my favs which is “Falling” and the just released on Sounds Familiar Records “Go Back”
So you know this road is a looong ride with some twist n turns that you’d really hate to experience.. But you live and you learn thus, becoming smarter, more grateful, or more of an ass. We all celebrate different at the finish line.
So you know i got nothing but love for Toronto, Canada. Not just the town itself but the quality of people that i ran into has been a really great thing. Of course not every Canadian is classy but im glad to say I havent ran into much of the cornballs up there. Along with learning about how much family I have all around the GTA, i can call this place truly my second home.
……“Hiccup!”
And so begins the story of how a video was born…..
My comrad Decoy (waddup!) basically made a “promo vid” for youtube which was done to get more people to know about me and this project I’ve been doing with Marc Mac of the legendary crew 4hero. The video basically gave face to one of the songs on this amazingly (unheard) album with a most famous scene from the movie “The Network”. So while Mr. Biel ranted away you’d see these “Star Wars lettering” of an upcoming website, tracmuzik.com. Along the details you see a link to the Nickztape ….which you still can download by the way…..
After a couple of views i saw a pretty interesting comment from Popped Art aka Ms. Diana Pop. She basically liked the material she heard. For any artist that kind of compliment is always pretty encouraging. 2 things atr that time became irony:
1. I was just talking to Marc on the phone about getting some vids done prior to clicking on her channel.
2. Diana is actually a student of film.. and soon to be a graduate
…..and so became the network….
I sent her an email asking if she would be interested in shooting a simple music video. Nothing too shabby, just some pretty good visual stuff. Her reply was just as encouraging. It was like clockwork for some reason. you just go with the flow and let things be. It was a blessing from “the heavens”!
Kieran Heilbron comes in on another “whim” for we were looking for someone with a good quality camera to get involved. First impression of Kieran was this guy is way too cocky for me (pause). The problem is it wasnt cockiness, it was all pure confidence coming from this fella. Oh Canadians!
respect to the both of them…For real!!!!
Bottom line, i had to take care of some expenses and we were ready to go!
I was really impressed on storyboarding from Diana. Pretty much things i had questions about were answered all in good detail. It just made sense! she’s a skilled writer and once we got the location she knew how she wanted it. Kieran saw the idea, added his own bag of tricks and what you get is 3 giddy people standing around in Kensington market.
I want to give a special thank you to the people of Kensington Market for just being understanding. 2 days of just not disturbing the peace..and buying early morning breakfast at the diner…I love breakfast!
and so the fun begins……….
I’d say the most hardest part of shooting the vid was to get all the people to show up and hang around long enough. I think I spoke to just about everybody i know up there… which wasnt much… we had a few no shows (booooo!) still we sure had enough to get things going…
Secondly we almost didnt shoot on the first day because of scattered rain. but as the day progressed the rain stopped and we shot.
Another challenge was to try and find some “good enough” ladies for the crowd shot. even though Tdot is filled with some gorgeous women they all just dont hang out with each other on a Saturday morning looking for guest spots on a random video. but the ones we found were so down for it including a birthday girl whose name i forgot. Kudos ladies! there was also a pretty green eyed lady that i picked and whom i wished i followed up on during the shoot. too busy lost in the work…
But to Ms.pretty green eyes if you ever read this blog hopefully im still single… holla
To the marvelous and gorgeous Natalie Baksh, you did just right for the role. Don’t you worry soul sistah!
Shout out to Big George John for helping me out with the Rear View Mirror scene. It was only right we did it there man. Mucho respect for that bro.
To Coz and Major,Beckz, Cousin Alex, Disco, my homie Trace Mo i thank you all for your energy…ENERGY!… especially you Coz!!!
And for the record….thats actually tobacco…. not weed sillys! We’re trying to shoot a video here!.. but um…. “smoke” was involved…
Another special shout to Stan Verbitsky the editor, who came in and basically multi tasking with his stuff and mines to give the video its lovely animations. A real superb job man!
.…and so the heavens began to…
Ok no more thank yous for now.. this has been very fun for a first music vid and i hope you enjoy this. take a look…..
PRE 459: What about if we get on top of this truck? TRAC: Lets try it out (click!)….a convo at 5 points,Queens NYC
Ive been running from writing blogs for fear of speaking way too much…I dont want to be seen as a blog-er mouth… but this is a special moment for me.. and special means ..blog away!!!
(Emotional Nickz)… for anyone who knows me, know that i am one dreamy, one talented and persistent mofo… Lets get real, Ive been a loyalist to music … I done gave yrs away for just the enjoyment ..In some circles its considered a sickness and in others its a love moment that continues to only to get better. Both are totally right in perception. We could prepare ourselves for a planned straight future all we want, only to not really achieve what you might have set out for. Everybody hates plan b’s but plan b could be a savior..(….really TRAC?) as well as a way of saying settle for the next best. Thats not a bad thing..(really!) But, if I ever gotten a chance to do something I love at a full experience i just cant walk away from it. Viewing things in this current time, Im glad I still have this chance to shine and hopefully this is a moment not to be forgotten…..
….The moment is here people! this album took about 2yrs and 3 countries to come to life! that means ive been traveling cross borders and sending big files across the internet to Marc so that this project can get completed. The miracle of it is …Its one very, very good hip hop album and my best work to date (wink!). 100 percent of my “blood, sweat, and tears” (overused cliche’) went into this. Imagine many, many sleepless rainy nights with thunder lightning in the background, trees shaking waywardly from a strong wind gust, and me on front of some speakers blasting Marc’s instrumentals sweat dripping from my pours on every written word that came to mind…. “Oh the pain, oh the agony!”……then… “Its alive!” (“thunder crackle”)
(Sister): Its late….could you please turn the music down?
…I was pretty quick on what i wanted to do… somewhere in the middle of Canada and amongst a few new strangers and me trying to find myself I just….. zoned out .. At a time i was thinking of my plan b something special was happening. I was making new friends including the homie Stitch 7 who sat with me thru most of the recording of this album. Of course there were bumps n stuff to get over but i made it through all of the surrounding madness. God Bless…..
TRAC: Yo PRE!.. the people on the crossing 7 train are looking at me funny ….like what? Pre459:Dont worry yo. just point your fingers to the sky (click) .. some chatter at 5 points Queens, NYC.
…..and so now that the journey has begun I want to take time to say thank you everyone who has helped in this journey be it small or big. At this point everything counts and I really appreciate it. There is so much more for me to do and since I have the keys its now time to put it in the ignition then put it in gear…Its a good thing I re-newd by drivers license….
… and so is my Passport!!!!
……..further en devours…. breathe in, breathe out… and keep Networking…
T.R.A.C.
“Like heavens” ……the video… coming soon… i’ll blog about it
The Network (produced by Marc Mac) will be released April 25th on BBE records, 2011… also available on itunes or where ever you get your music from….. enjoy!!
Check the Preview of the Network
F/X has the movies!…….F/X has the….. whoa, its about to be over soon? me talking to myself
The world as i know it..........
The year isn’t over yet and i feel like I’m already into the new year. Truthfully I’m in no rush. I’d rather cruise and enjoy these last few weeks of what has been a very productive and enjoying year. Of course there were lumps and many challenges along the way but the best part of it is.. you live, you learn, and hopefully you earn….
With that being said things have to, and will change for me come the new year. I just cant sit here and type to y’all about how much I need to be on my best game, and get ready to lose much more sleep just for a bit of stability. I’m realizing some of the circles that have been a part of me will continue to go round and round and round….. I need to correct, compose, and complete what has set sail and continues to float over these stormy wavy oceans. Soon i’ll see the sun hovering over me towards an island with plenty of beautiful women who’ll take their time nurturing me and helping me sip Pina Coladas off the white sand and blue seas… aaah! Refreshing!
......... But Terry please dont go....Dont leave yet.....
(a sexy lady screams)
and just like that, the day dream is over….
Coming back to NY has been momentous! I didnt realize that there were people who’s been trying to link with me for a bit to get me in some good places. Ive always tried to keep myself hands on and easy to reach for whatever scenario I might hopefully fit in to. his time around its been a good thing and very forward moving.
wassup with the projects son?
I really thought about doing vol 2 to the nickztape this year but after seeing such an abundance of mixtapes from many other artist alike i decided not to. I actually started to record vol. 2 (shouts to Todd Bee) but my heart just wasnt there for it. Besides people were still checking for Vol.1 as its still a pretty good listen. Good music never dies! ( I thank y’all for that)
So my time has been basically spent on working on new stuff and collabing with people on their new stuff. One of the Notable ones is a song i did with the homie Jasper Leak and fellow bredrin Jahdan of Noble Society that i hope comes to the light. (Oh trust, its pure fire!!!!) Recently i finally got a verse done for a Trace Motivate Remix. I talked about this fella from Toronto in an early blog. It was a wait that was hopefullyworth his time.
Me and Hired Gun has done some stuff for his next few projects. that dude stays grinding .. and educating… Waddup K-Swift?
IIIIIIII!!!!!!!! Am The Magnificent!
Currently Me and Dj Itruth have been putting in some serious work. We’re hoping to finish up by the end of the year and hopefully we’ll have somn “for you” in 2011. along with another surprise collab with a good fella from the “Mother Country.”
….Dont you be on that Dubby Step/Drum n Bass?…WTF is Dat Shit?
Ive been hoping to finish a collective of some of the most interesting music you’ll ever hear in a while. I surely wont be the first to do this but i’ll say that you should very anxious and excited about T.R.A.C. working with the likes of Hell Fire Machina, Dave Visionary, I-Cue, ODI, LionDub,DJ WallyPish-Posh,6blocc,MC ASTRO, , Jamalski, and my 4hero homie Marc Mac… (evil laugh!) (a personal thank you to Hellfire Machina for believing in me enough to put me in front of huge grueling NYC crowds…. we run the city!. Im very grateful guys )
The Marcster!
Speaking of Marc Mac (shouts to Decoy), We’ve been prepping for a while to release this treasure of a Hip Hop album. We’re hoping the Heinz catch phrase dosent only work with ketchup … (you know, “good things come those who”…nevermind...)… Well im glad to say that this wait is paying off and i may have some big tomatoes.. uh…. news…. to announce… (exhale)
and oh .. there was a music video done.. shouts Diana Pop and Kieran Heilbron for that… BIG TIME!!
I also want to give a big, big thanks to every one that kept me positive when I was near a nervous breakdown. And Shouts to the new friends n folk who’ve been checking the music and said …“Dope!”. For every painful moment you go thru expect nothing but greatness afterwards. but you got to keep pushing..
Much love n respect, happy holidays and an early Happy New Year from your favorite MC
To Rule And Conquer ……on facebook EPK
…and remember its “For The Love”
Love is Love Y'all... See you somewhere... which might be everywhere!
In the middle of enjoying this hot summer along with politics, music, and bullshit(!), I decided to sit on a lovely soft couch with laptop in hand…..and blog!
To those who said I should get paid for this …I say thank you…now wheres my check (snare hit!)
This “Pieces of Art” segment is all about fashion music…..and perseverance!
Being the New York product that I am, I’ve seen so many come and go. Only a handful of artists, companies, and whatever have you, went on to become such staples in our minds
If any of you Hip Hop heads, Electric heads , DnB and Dubstep heads and Rock heads, have ever saw this “M” on a shirt, hoodie, banner, a sticker on a lamp post, on a nice bottle of classic beer, or a nice round booty (smack!)…… trust me when I say its not a Mickey D’s promotion! You are waaaay off homie…
Rather its none other than Methods Clothing NYC! Founded by Dave Gee who has broken into art, music fashion and modern urban culture. This company has been on its feet nearing 6yrs which says a lot about running a garment business through these recession times. As saying goes “only the strong survive”.
I cant even remember how I ran into Dave. All I know its been cool since and from time to time we link, we build, we chill, we drink! what else would I want?
oh! ….some fresh new Method shirts…lol
Im not sure that many people know these shirt designs are done by some really phenomenal artist from all around the globe. From cats like KOA in France and Super blast out in Berlin to Dizzmology & Amier Inkz in NYC then over to Deseo and Gabriel Gutierrez over on the Cali side. throw in some Bodie Chewing, some Frost, some Vandal, and whole slew of other artist you can find on the methods website and what you’ll have is an “Arsenal” and a explosion of fine crafters. Hey Diggs! like that arsenal line?.
6yrs for any small company can be critical times. You go through a whole smack of bumps and bruises. It kinda reminds me of aspiring artist like myself who have overcame so much to just make a dent in our goals. It’s never a dull moment in life if you’re enthused enough. Its a beautiful struggle although the goal is to get past the struggling and start living. Methods may have a theme for you that might fit your “cause” the same way theres a soundtrack to the life you live. So every season Methods has a theme that makes the shirt…or the shirt that makes the theme. (make your own tomatoes)
Method moments “Yo TRAC you be Rocking dem nice ass shirts son! Wassup wit those?”.. a fellow homie from the hood.
“I like the color and the designs… ( then walks off with one in hand)..”Pops“
“….does Method Man even know about this? Remember Johnny Blaze?”.. a concerned “Tical” smoker
“Someone stole my red Methods cap….It could be in NY or Toronto but when I find you imma “El Toro” yo ass!!…”
(sigh!)- TRAC
All quotes aside, these fellas continue to inspire keep inspiring. With placements in music videos magazines, concerts, and in major music websites things are definitely running smooth for this small store in Greenpoint, BK. …Werd to Serge yo!
There are countless people along with musicians and Dj’s who rock and support Methods. Too many artist to mention. Either they are legends like Fat Joe and Talib Kweli, or they are on fire Like Rusko and Datsik..Lets not forget the Badman sightings…..Hey Dave, i think those guys who make the jerky beef have found Bigfoot…..
heres some favorite Method videos
Talib Rocking “The Flyest” shirt by Too Fly… “In this World” (2:30)
Pete rocking that “trailblazer” with “Mr Wine Connoisseur” Sadat X shirt by Angotti81 in “Turn It Up”
As always, Pieces of Art is about the Trueness!….. The Realness! ……..As recognized by me of course…. In my opinion, nothings debatable if it inspires you…. Especially if you like it! Go ahead and talk about it! I never planned to blog about any these artist. Some I’ve never seen, never known before or even bumped in to out in the streets.. but i hear the music and …………Boom! Maybe I’m just cut from a different cloth. In my teen days i’d stay up to listen to new artist on late night (and pirate) radio stations. The Big L’s the Busta’s, the Kane’s, the Jiggas….. the artist we know now as legends had helpings from this kind of medium. I don’t really do this for “taste making” or any kind of industry term you can think of either. This is done strictly for the love of Art! I just happen to be a musician but this is for art in general…hidden gems! ..blah.blah. blah…i keeps it for real!
Bottom line if i like it ….maybe i’ll blog on it!!
Which leads me in to this…….
Peeping Toronto’s or any underground hip hop scene there are a bunch of artist with “rough edges”…meaning not enough polish, but i brave on for those aspiring artist for once they find their niche’ they have definitely taken that next step up. Such is not the case with a fella by the name of Trace Motivate. I met this cat at my video set up in Kensington market. Pretty much a cool, calm and thoughtful fella. Humble cats always win me over. It was the homie Major of the Lost Info Crew who told him about the shoot and he was just ready to be a part of it. We’ll vid talk later. Bottom line when i first listened to anything from Trace it was from a just released EP he did with Soundwave (also from Lost Info) called “Put Em Up High”. All bias’s aside, Soundwaves production is something to believe in. Dude is serious on the beats and sonically he dosent let down. The overall sound here is abstract, melodic, and done with great cohesion …it just works!
Trace is far from a bore on the mic and proves he is about his “Bizness” like the song of the same title. On “Hitman for Hire” Trace re-introduces himself as the professional he is with lines like “Honest day pay? I keep it in perspective/ My clients don’t complain what they pay is an investment”….. The Ep’s lead song “Put Em Up High” will make fellow T Dot heads grab their lighters as he drops Canadian jewels on an uptempo beat.
“Penut” is a self reflective story about Trace’s Beginnings with his new found gift. Ive never heard the original, but this Soundwave remix is way worth the listen…..
“Poisonous” is a personal favorite. A dark gritty and witty story about a chick or chicks that are taking serious L’s. With fellow MC Mr. Matrix along for the telling, the story develops even more for the avid listener to try and break down what actually happened. either way the ending is gruesome.
Bottom line, You may not know Trace Motivate nor do you may not know of Soundwave. You may have never heard of their songs, but trust when i say you’ll be pretty much impressed with this project as its a warm up to a full length “future” release. For now, this a good, strong introduction of what i believe is only the beginning. I expect to see bigger things ahead for this new duo. The level of music can only get better. Some people take a while. Others just “get it”. This is Hip Hop Y’all! co-sign! its well worth the Cop!
Besides, anyone whose name begins with T-R-A-C…….. Okay I’ll stop right there (drum hit!)
You can listen and purchase by Clicking on MOTIVATE!
For now peep this previous video Trace did a few years back. The song is called “Peace” …and with that, i say Paaaaaaaayce!
Yes expect more blogging….my summer has been interesting…I miss you NY!
