An MC Abroad…

Sup ya´ll,

Merry Christmas…happy new year…all that jazz. I´m currently sitting in a hostel in Colombia and thought I´d send a quick update from this side of the world. I´ve had an amazing time over here so let´s get it crackin!!

Firstly I just want to give my own personal thank you for everyone that came to the Wrap Party. What a fuckin awesome night and a great send off for me. I´m itching to get back home to play a tonne more shows for you guys as well as have you hear some of the new stuff we´ve been working on. Anyway..onto the trip.

I started off in Buenos Aires on the 15th December…the next 5  days were literally sleepless. I haven´t partied that hard in a long time and thankfully my body held up (barely). I used those 5 days to try and rid myself of any niggling thoughts from back home…work…music…everything. It´s so hard to just switch off all of a sudden especially seeing as K and myself have been so busy the past few months.  The partying helped though :) The hostel I stayed at was non-stop. There was always someone or something goin on at any time of the day so you could always count on a drinking buddy. I went to some pretty amazing clubs there, the best of which was Terrases (that is definitely the wrong spelling but i cant find it anywhere on google!). Basically its a HUGE club with a bunch of different rooms playing different music. I should say that since coming here, I don´t think I´ve been out to a place once that plays hip hop. Everything is reggaton or house, which I don´t mind too much. Everything sounds good after a few drinks!!! Anyway, the best part about this club was there was an outside part right next to the water where everyone partied while the sun rose at 7am in the morning. DISCLAIMER: if you ever go to Argentina, they do not go out until 2:30am in the morning…so pace yourself. Musically, there have been a few songs that I pretty much know all the words to now because they play them every two seconds in the club. I´ve pasted one of them below:

I did a bit of sight seeing in BA, but mainly it was the partying and meeting a bunch of cool people. A few folks I met were basically doing the exact same trip as me which was cool. After sinning myself silly in BA I headed off to Iguazu falls for some much needed downtime. The falls were incredible…hard to explain unless you actually go there but the best parts of this trip have been the times where I´ve never seen anything like the thing I´m looking at …and this was one of those times. I hit the falls and took a crazy boat ride that takes you right underneath them. After a day there, I went back to my hostel and passed out for 14 hours straight – my body pretty much told me to stop fuckin around and get some rest.
