I met up with Kore Ionz singer, writter, rhythm guitarist, ‘ukulele jammer extrodinare, Pak to catch up on what’s in the works for him and his band Kore Ionz. Kore Ionz has been putting it down for over 8 years now when it comes to the Reggae scene here in Seattle. He recently flew out to Jakarta, Honolulu and now back in Seattle for projects with their sophomore album titled, “World War Free.” There song, “Love you Better” is getting major airplay, so go to there site and request heavy.

Eric Yamada (da808Seattle) and Terrance-Jeff Santos (Right) are set to work with Kore Ionz on a upcoming video project, “First Avenue” with features Geo / Prometheus Brown.

After some coffee and alil bit of laughs, stories and ideas about love / fear, we decide to listen to some jams. Check ‘em, follow ‘em HERE.

Later on that evening, I met with local bad boy, Wizdom. He just got back in from his trip So. Cal. We talked about future projects; one that includes a video project with Terrance-Jeff Santos and former Seahawk’s, now Detroit Lion’s Wide Receiver, Nate Burleson.

Amongst other things, we talked about how social media / name dropping / track dropping has gotten him airplay over-seas, what he plans on doing this summer and how he encourages everyone to keep sexy this summer and beyond. Namsayin x Wizdom will be working on a project in the near future. Stay tuned for the action and the offical video release. Ughhh! All day baby.

Zlogblog presents: Future Tense

NamsayinWalt — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:00:33 +0000

Action packed for sure. It was our first time attending Zlog’s Future Tense Event. In attendance were some tricksters, some sprinters and definitely a handful of cyclist out for a good time. The event began with a short ride from capitol hill to ravenna. I didn’t manage to go on the ride, but I was there for all the other action.

The event started off with sprint races, while the tricksters warmed up on the ramps and boxes. It was a mixture of racers; from fixies, to multi gears and single speedster. Check out the action.

Once the sprints were finished and a winner was delcared, the night pressed forward with some wicked air and some tricks that would make you say, “Fack!” or “Daym.” or “he got up!”

The homie Eddie (1st namsayin B.O.T.M.) drinking some brew and check out some air.

The night definitely got a bit more crazy. In short, watch this video. Need I say more?

We definitely met a good handful of people. Anthony’s Dolan tracksetup caught our attention. Stay tuned for a upcoming feature.

Definitely good times. Towards the end of the night, raffle numbers were called and people walked away with headsets, gear from zlog and even a Leader Frame.

Future Tense goes down every second Friday of the month. Thanks again to Zach ( Sonics T), Tyler (Far right) and the rest of the Zlogblog fam for throwing a cool event. Don’t miss out next time.

Business as Usual: Think Skateboards Video Premiere @ 35th North

NamsayinWalt — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 01:51:26 +0000

35th North Skateboard shop. It’s one of the few skateshops with a ton of history and constantly feeding local Seattlites Skateboard necessities. The night began by the shop being transformed from a local skate boutique to your walk in movie theatre. The projection screen went up, the chairs were set in front and the people trickled in. Everyone was excited to see the new video by THINK. I must admit that although our brand is a fan of the two wheel type, handle bars and a comfy seat; the kickflips, nose grinds and some of the air that these skateboard legends displayed had us buggin’ out. You’ll have to watch it for yourself. Personal favorite skate segment: Adrian Williams. You’ll know why when you see the video. Here’s some photos I took of the evening / night. Thanks to Tony & the crew @ 35th North for hosting a dope evening. Tall cans were in full effect through the night.

Events to attend this week.
