Marsha Ambrosius – ‘Cloud 9’
The lovely and talented Marsha Ambrosious is just one of a dozen of Philadelphia’s Creative Ambassadors who will be highlighted during the upcoming summer months in the city of brotherly love.
When I met her last year she was just as warm and personable as her pictures suggest. Here was a person that was supremely talented and still supernaturally humble. Her mannerisms in my opinion evoke the Philadelphia DNA of someone who works hard and embraces humility. I have been bumping that ‘Cloud 9’ track for well over a year. I’m going to see if I can make a real (read: budgeted) music video for that song. I hope Marsha shows up at the Roots picnic.
The Roots annual picnic will be off the cheesesteak once again. Some of the special guests include legendary deejay Jazzy Jeff, indie rockers Vampire Weekend, indie rapstars Das Racist, The Clipse, John Legend, Method Man, Ghostface Killah and Raekwon.

RAB CAC was a graff artist that was killing my area of Queens and the rest of the city for that matter, when I was going thru my graff phase. It was funny and special to meet him as a student when I went to Brooklyn Technical high school. Do you know how much work this dude put it when he was still in high school?
When I was in 8th grade I used to travel the entire city sneaking in tags on the last cars of the subway. The X-Men were all city and more popular to me than the comicbook from which they swiped their namesake. I kept a subway map in my bedroom with all the layups and yards marked off with pushpins. I really thought I was gonna bomb the system one day.
RAB is still on the scene but no longer writing on the subways or bombing on the streets. He is viewed as a legitimate graphic illustrator and he does shows, galleries and books. One of his gallery projects, along with a dozen or so other artists was to go in on a museum paper print of an R-42 train.
Peep the gallery here…
One day soon watch and see if the MTA doesn’t have a nostalgic day where they allow artists the chance to put up burners on their out of service railcars.
Here’s another little treat I got for y’all courtesy of my nig Dice Rizzy.
Fux with this single of his titled ‘100’.
This is classic Dice Raw microphone murder, death, kill.
And of course, my nigga keeps it 100.
“You like a half-off coupon, I’m nice like a jar of Grey Poupon. Pass me the mic, I need something to poop on.”
