Hmmm… Only a couple of weeks ago now that I think about it, but it was long overdue.  It was a sad sad day when Mantrakid moved to B.C, mostly sad for me I guess – so after 5 months of pouting and crying, and with the Wifey off in Vegas with her friends… it was time.  hahaha. Great hospitality from the Mantra’s as expected, they brought me out for dinner, showed me the spots, we hung out played video games and caught up like old times.  I hope to do it again in the Summer when things are ‘poppin’ and when a certain someone has ‘popped’…

Comox is definitely a dope place to visit, the most critical thing that stood out in my mind was the flavour bursts of silence… I remember nights just coming back from dinner and we’d step out of the car and I’d stop… and I’d have to wait for someone to speak to make sure I haven’t gone deaf (rap music)… its something we overlook in our city lives, silence – I think we FEEL it from memory but don’t realize we forgot what it sounds like.  FOOD, I gotta be straight up I was skeptical, can I go a weekend without Pho or Sushi?!?! but I was wrong, maybe with only 150K people Comox/Courtenay actually has time and consideration to prep their food??? Sure I’m a little opinionated being a tourist and with MK bringing me to his favourite spots… but I must say FOOD was awesome, and trust me, I’m a food guy!  One major thing that struck me while I was there, the atmosphere really reminded me of the trips to Vancouver to see the family… now I’m family sick… yikes

Anyway, THE MAIN POINT OF THIS POST!!

Mantrakid had the courtesy to bring me to his radio station and let me special guest in an episode of CreamReefer… check the links below, from www.neferiu.com , catch him every Saturday, CHLY

Started off with some instrumental downtempo lovin’ then got into a little introduction with Calgary Battle Rapper The Equazn. After dropping some of his collaboration work with the Calgary Audible Intelligence work, he got into a full blown live freestyle session on-air. Then we wound it down with some newer stuff from Canadian artists like Shep & DJ Stilz, Virtue, and Iron Lion.
