My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre

Yep, those are the opening lyrics to an Andre Nickatina song. Nickatina is one of the pioneers of the Bay Area rap game. He previously recorded under the name Dre Dog, and worked with the late Mac Dre. A lot of you underground fans already know him so he needs no further introduction.

Anyways, a few of the Stack family and myself got to see Nickatina perform last Friday at the Grove in Anaheim!
I had a great time, and I can’t wait until he performs down in SoCal again.

Here’s a quick camera shot I took with my iPhone4:

Haven’t heard any Andre Nickatina tracks? I got you covered.
Here is a song to get your feet wet…

This song is called “That” by Andre Nickatina featuring Equipto:
1st verse: Equipto
2nd verse: Nickatina

Have a great night!

Lakers Make It to the Second Round!

You would have never known Kobe had a hurt ankle with the way he closed out the Hornets. CP3 had a valiant effort, but David West needs to stay healthy next year or CP3 will likely move to the Knicks in 2012 Free Agency.

In other news, sMoKes presented me with a challenge. 40 complete pushups and his Lakers Bluetooth from Earloomz would be mine…

Mission Success!!

On Tuesday, graphic design guru Steve came through the office and we were able to throw down a few designs with our brand new plotter.  Don’t get mad when we tag up your streets with our vinyl.  It’s all part of the Stack LA beautification process (;

Today I spent most of the day configuring my work space and helping Deacon purchase new gear for his studio.
