New Friends

So so far our favorite places have been Mauritania, and now Cote d'Ivoire.  I am so grateful to have met such wonderful people in both places.  Unfortunately we were not able to make as many connections in Togo but I must give a shout out to Pretty Nyce's girl Sonya for taking us around when we needed it.  Check my boy in blue.  Crazy b-boy skills.  I am telling you guys that I am definitely making another trip to West Africa. More pictures to come y'all.  Stay tuned.  Same Blaize time...same Blaize channel.  Peace.

Ivorians Know How To Party...In The City of Abidjan

So me and my people (Chris Rel,Denny Jackson and DJ Pretty Nyce) had this crazy performance at this club called K.fe Viera. We had a decent turnout. Even some of the USA embassy staff showed up and had a great time. Afterwards, we are taken out by some of the embassy staff. That's when the real fun began. We originally start out at this little lounge where the boss served us these coffee liqueur shots that were on fire and we had to drink it while it was burning!! Crazy!! Then at this same spot we run into Mark the Regional Security Officer (RSO) of the embassy. This little Cajun white boy from New Orleans knows where the parties are out here! So we all head over to this Reggae bar where the band is SICK! By the way, for those who don't know me that well we are drinking the whole time. Lol. Last stop was Le Mix. This club was out of here!!! The DJ played American hip hop and R&B and some local records. It didn't even get packed until like 1 am. We had a table, bought bottles (pop champagne, ooooo...lol) and danced the whole night. We left at 5 am and barely had enough room to leave! Ivorians really know how to party. Needless to say, I will be back here. I love it out here. Till next time...Same Blaize time, same Blaize channel.

2 days to go

So I am about to experience some very new things. First thing is this blog phenomenon. I am not a big blogger but I think that is about to change. Second, I will be experiencing West Africa for the first time. I am travelling with one of my best friends and 2 new ones as the Hip Hop conglomerate,Vise Verse All Stars, to West Africa to do some music out reach concerts and workshops. To say the least I am excited. I will take TONS of pictures and will keep you all posted during my travels. Until then, au revoir. :)
