Remembering the legendary Tina Turner.
Back in 1984, I was working at Seattle’s 1250 KFOX & part of my job was to go to this concert & review it.
Well, it was Tina Turner’s comeback show, opening up for Lionel Ritchie.
Great show with great memories that’ll last forever.

Philly native Suspens is about to drop his new single “2Pac Shakur” (Suspens Recording). RAP ATTACK DJ’s look out for it this week.
Anyone else requesting the MP3, hit me up at nastynes818@gmail.com.

Anyone catch the season finale of “Power Book?”
Although episodes 8 & 10 were leaked on YouTube, quality was soooo much better in it’s normal airing on STARZ!

Congratulations!
to IAM TONGI, this year's newest American Idol!

What’s more irritating than hearing someone repeating after every sentence, “Know What I’m Saying?” Someone repeating, “GYEA!”
Actually it sounds good when Spokane’s Grandmixer GMS (left) & MC Eiht say, “GYEA!”

A FUNKY FRESNO 80’s FLASHBACK

Altho I remember like it was yesterday, it’s been about 40 years touring on the road in Fresno, Cali with Connie & the late Jermaine Stewart!
Yup, the Mix-A-Lot posse was in full swing with “The Square Dance Rap!”

I am forever grateful to Terry Terry for opening the acting door for me. She was my very FIRST acting agent from Seattle. She recently passed away from cancer.
In the beginning, my own experience came from being featured in Sir Mix-A-Lot's videos. I got a lot of national attention thru that.
I decided to get an Acting agent and after doing some research, my friend Robert Brewer referred me to Terry Terry.
Terry & I hit it off so well. I quickly signed on the dotted line & then went on auditions & took improv classes thru her.
In one improv scene, I had to rescue a dying dog from a car accident. Terry noticed I had the look of a gangster, hard & menacing, but the emotions I expressed were sensitive, warm & caring, a lovable person. She compared me to the actor John Candy!
She booked me on the first short film I did, "Scratch Merchants" (pix below) starring Cynthia Geary from the hit TV show, "Northern Exposure."
I moved from Seattle to Los Angeles in 1998 and with the acting skills I learned from Terry Terry, landed roles in NBC's "ER," "HOUSE PARTY 4" & 20th Century Fox's "Kung Pow! Enter The Fist."
I LOVE YOU Terry & am forever grateful for what you did for me professionally & for our friendship. It was such a memorable time seeing you again back in 2018. Our photos together will help me cherish the memories FOREVER. (R.I.P.)
