Trav's 1st album review "via"fly paper!

L.e LISTENING PARTY @MILK BAR

WRITTEN BY TRAVDAVE CONTACT playboy.trav@gmail.com



On Friday, August 21, 2009, I went to a private listening party for L.E (formerly of Fly Union) to hear his new mixtape, which is dropping August 28, 2009. The event was at Milkbar (downtown Columbus) on N. High St. The mixtape is called "Anti Parachute theory" which was executive produced by Rashad of Elevator Music. Production on the mixtape includes: J Rawls "international J" of Lone Catalyst, Rashad of Elevator Music, Blueprint, and A.U. just to name a few.

The building was packed with enthusiastic fans, which included: Flypaper, The 3rd, DJ Krate Digga, T.C. from the "Smoking Section", TruckNorth, and others. This private event began with L.E. discussing production in between each track. In my opinion, there were three different levels on this mixtape: Real hip-hop, experimental tracks, and bangers all at the same time and throughout each level L.E. did not lose his integrity or focus. He has something for everyone on this mixtape and I think everyone will find something to enjoy!
A couple of stand outs on the mixtape for me include: "Polo on my body" produced by A.U. (a definite club banger!), "She and Her" feat. Vonpey and P.Blackk produced by J.Rawls and DJ Rhettmatic, (the track talks about hip-hop and a woman) and another certified banger is "A Bulldog BMX" produced by Rashad.

The overall sound of the album is cohesive throughout the varying tracks without taking away from the quality! This is definitely one of the best mixtapes to come out in 2009!!!
Make sure you check it out!! Downloads are available: August 28, 2009.

N.Y.C.O PART 2 "DOPE,MAC AND TRAV

Yeah, we've seen them come and go. From those young cats on the corner who spit some of the hottest bars you've ever heard to noticeable groups who had deals but never....... could... quite.... make anything pop off. Recently, we've all paid clost attention to SLAUGHTERHOUSE, the rap group which consits of Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, and Royce 5'9. Lyrics, story-telling, punchlines, you name it, they come with it, and you respect that.. You prolly wont buy there cd when it is finally released, but you will download the hell out of it and let your friends know its that CRACK..
Well here's where the new gunners come into play. Recently I was sent a track by BX's own WillyDope @WillyDope and Columbus' TravDave @TravDave. Upon hearing the track, I wanted to jump on immediately, PAUSE if applicable. Once they gave me the go ahead, I did. We released the track on twitter and word spread like wildfire, reaching 500 downloads in the first 24 hrs!
This looks like the beginning of something we've seen before. You be the judge!

I'm just wondering WHY?????

I just have a few random things on my mind and I just always wonder WHY???? If you have an answer please feel free to express yourself!!


1. Why do adults try to ignore their farts when they are loud in public?

2. Why do McDonalds french fries only stay warm in the car, but are cold by time you get home?

3. Why do people apologize for unnecessary things? (very annoying)

4. Why do at least three people always have the same question in a classroom, but no one wants to ask the teacher for an answer?

5. Why can't black women get along with each other?

6. Why is it easier to be mean to someone than to be nice?

7. Why do women run from the ladies in Victoria Secret who want to measure you, when half of us don't wear the right bra size anyway?

8. Why are men so upset when they are wrong about something?

9. Why is the most sarcastic, cynical asshole always the easiest person to get along with? (Does that mean I'm an asshole too? hmmm)

10. Why does a list always feel more complete if there are 10 things rather than 9?


Just a few thoughts....ok I'm done for now!!
