DJ Nickiee Goes to Europe

Hey, everyone. I have been quiet for various reasons. Well, I have been quite busy working hard. I have been setting up the infrastructure for my businesses which have now all expanded to LA. I set up a mini European Tour where I leave on 11/7 to Paris and Italy to D.J. All of the forementioned is due to the fact that I constantly surround myself with positive people.

Busy

Yesterday, I was featured in Beyond Race Magazine for their Women in Hip Hop segment. I will post the link when it's finished. I have a series of events coming up....travel to Europe. Life is good. I'm blessed to be doing what I love...all the things that my love encompasses.

The Year Is Almost Over!

I woke up this morning with a great attitude. The year is almost over, and I am right on track because I have been "intentional." I am off to the gym and will be back on the grind today.  Many blog posts to follow. I have been to 4 States in the past week and have seen a lot of people and learned a great deal as well.

I can't believe she walked off stage. I think we have a diva on our hands. It is important to stay humble in this game, even if you have a little bit of notoriety.

R.I.P. Roc Raida

Anthony Williams, better known as Roc Raida was a phenomenal turntablist, producer, and member of the DJ group the X-Ecutioners which also included founder Rob Swift, Total Eclipse, and Mista Sinista (Steve Dee, DJ Boogie Blind, and DJ Precision were also members at various times). By 1995, Roc Raida won many awards including the 1995 DMC World DJ Championship. Based on a tweet from Talib Kweli, he was injured in a martial arts class, and unfortunately died from complications on September 19, 2009.

Grinding

I am up working. I admit that I have been sleeping a lot-probably because I have been logging in six miles plus in Central Park and on the Westside Hwyway. My body yearned for rest, but after two days of 9 hours of slumber, I am ready to work harder than ever. So, I am up at 2:43am. September is going to be a busy month, and I promise to post more pictures and videos, etc. I was mentioned in the rumors section of Allhiphop.com. Check it out. I will be sure to revisit my blog on Monday after Labor Day. I'm partying hard!

RIP DJ AM

This has been of one of the most productive weeks since I started my business last October/November. I can say that I achieve more when I have control over the energy in my life which is why I like having my own business. I learned a lot this week, and knowledge only makes me wiser.

I took the death of DJ AM very hard (The weird thing is ran into Travis Barker this week) on 21st Street in NYC. Instead of going out last night, I spent my night listening to DJ AM over and over again:

He was dope. I had an opportunity to met DJ AM, and hear him spin at Club Liv in MIA and the APT. He was so humble. DJing is therapy for me so I know how he felt, and once he mastered it...what was next? We all have issues that we fight within. Exercising is my drug. Everyone has something. Some of the most intelligent, beautiful, and kind people I know battle addictions. I think these people ARE in my life to teach me valuable lessons which is why I harness my energy into positive outlets such as exercising and work instead of a long list of things.
