What up everyone who rocks with Shon Roka. I basically just want to take the time to let everyone know what is up with me. I've been holding down my resident spot the Money Shot (5695 N. Lincoln Ave.) for awhile now. When I first was introduced to the spot by my guy DJ Twentys I noticed that the food itself was always on point. The 3 Cheese Penne is my favorite and should be named after yours truly. Also the Rosemary Garlic wings are the ish. I just got introduced to those a few weeks ago when I went up there with my guy Phil to watch Monday night football and support those who support me. So if you near Lincoln Square in Chicago, just stop on by and have something to eat. Tell them Shon Roka sent you and they'll hook it up...
Well besides rocking at the Money Shot most Fridays and Saturdays, I've been getting back into my music and setting things up at the crib. Even though this year I lost my step-father and my grandfather I still feel like I am heading in a better direction.
Right now I'm on hold sort of with progression because I got 13 stitches on my forehead from a football injury I got on Sunday, but I'm still on the grind and feel like hip hop and the bboy culture is keep my positive level going. A lot of things are coming up and its all at a good pace.
Anyhow, wanted to give you the heads up on a show as well (plug) the legendary GRAVEDIGGAZ are doing a show that I'm a part of October 30, 2011 @ Wicker Well (1637 W. North Ave.), here in Chicago. Its only $7 bucks all night and $5 for females all night. I'm looking forward to this show just like how I was before I went to see Portishead or when I knew Mobb Deep was performing at the Metro...
So Early Arrival is deeply suggested because limited space...
Well tune in for more blogging and keep on with the keep on...
