RACIAL SLURS SPRAY PAINTED ON DJ FLIP, YOUR LADY DJ CAR February 4, 2016

Racism is still alive but no concealer or foundation makeup can hide this flaw within our history.

In Mansfield, PA not only was DJ Flip, Your Lady DJ’s car broken into, but also her car was redecorated with a racial slur, written in spray paint. Her equipment, which is her livelihood, was also stolen.

We are in trying times, but if we were all color blind, how would we see what does divide us? In this case, it’s the color of our skin.

Expect the unexpected.

I couldn’t have imagined a DJ would have to face this kind of discrimination- simply for being recognized, and targeted.

Rhonda Sylvester, known as DJ Flip, Your Lady DJ, just happened to check on her car as she stayed at a friend’s house, when she noticed that her car was vandalized, and the hatch was directed upward on her Ford Explorer. Both of her laptops and stereo speakers were also taken.

It is very disheartening to witness something of this caliber forwardly displayed. Now, she cannot book any gigs or move forward with perfecting her craft. She is known for providing DJ services for nonprofit groups, and she sits on the board of the Pat Kracker Breast Cancer Fund (she is a breast cancer survivor).

DJ Flip, Your Lady DJ, has overcome a lot of struggles. She is active in her community, helping children in need of her expertise.

Best wishes to her in getting back to doing what she loves. Discrimination towards anyone is not the right approach. Be mindful of your words and use them wisely.

DJ KHALED IS HOLDING A MAJOR KEY TO THE FUTURE February 4, 2016

“Special cloth alert, mogul talk” are just a few phrases that DJ Khaled associates with business as his popularity grew so did his price as he would state.

Last night, DJ Khaled released sneak peaks of Future’s new hot album. After signing a major deal with Apple Music and receiving the reign of We the Best Radio airing every Friday (8pm est/5pm pct). DJ Khaled has successfully been the talk within almost every category while expanding his brand.

With all of the doors of opportunity that have been opening for DJ Khaled, he still reminds his fans of his humble beginnings and to never play yaself when it comes to not believing in your talents. DJ Khaled refers to “they” as the naysayers who said that he wouldn’t or couldn’t do all of the things he is in the position to do now.

CAN’T AFFORD COACHELLA WELL THERE IS ALWAYS HOODCHELLA… February 4, 2016

When that moment of euphoria filled your body because you thought you were gifted tickets to Coachella and you start to DAB and Milly Rock simultaneously. But as you simmer down you analyze the ticket it reads HOODCHELLA (insert confused emoji face riiight here). No, that was not a misprint, do not return to sender it was a thoughtful gift. Although, you probably did not hear about this festival before today. If and only if you can’t afford tickets to Coachella no worries there is always Hoodchella but act fast as they are being sued by (drum roll please) the highest grossing festival we all know and want to cross off our bucketlist you guess it Goldenvoice’s Coachella Music Festival.

What is Hoodchella you ask? Hoodchella is a 16 hour live music festival in Los Angeles that will be a melting pot of music lover, food, drinks is any of this sounding quite familiar festival beyond the ella, ella, ella, eh, eh. The live performances line up is set to include: Witchcraft, TrillHill, a host of bands and DJ’s and the price tag is $25 and after paying you have to rsvp for the secret location. Being that the organizers of Coachella has filed a law suit against Hoodella in the U.S. district court on counts of trademark and service mark infrigement, unfair competition and other counts as they are not taking keen interest in the mimicking of their love child. Which brings me to the point that paperwork is very important in protecting your brand trademark and copyright everything you are involved in. Hoodchella announced the expanision from one day to three days this year a whole week ahead of Coachella.

Coachella is requesting that Hoodchella alters their name as they have reached out several times before taking it to court. Last year $680,000 was invested in the promotion of the highest grossing festival in the world ranking in more than $195 million on just ticket sales alone not including merch, food, drinks etc. There is a petition circulating as of yesterday to support the efforts of Hoodchella the goal is to receive 200 signatures, as they have captured 100. What are your thoughts do you think Coachella has taken it too far or do you think it is just in the business world to protect your brand by any means necessary?
