Marley Marl was the house producer of the Juice Crew, known for The Bridge Wars, a feud withBoogie Down Productions seen as one of the earliest and influential hip hop beefs. The Juice Crew included Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shanté, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, MC Shan(his cousin) and Masta Ace, and produced many songs for outside artists including King Tee, LL Cool J, and Lords of the Underground.
It was all free party from 8-11pm before regular house party started with House DJ Kevin Hedge.
Actually that was quite house-warming birthday party, Greg Nice from Nice&Smooth came out to shout and actually he did perform a few of his hits!He was sweat and did a great show!That was the climax moment!Nice & Smooth was an East Coast hip hop duo from New York that consists of Greg Nice(Greg Mays) and Smooth B (Daryl Barnes). The duo released four albums from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s. Their first collaborate appearance was on the song, "Pimpin Ain't Easy" by Big Daddy Kane on his album, It's a Big Daddy Thing in 1989.
The crew members, Jeff, me, Naoto, DJ Peace and Chica went to the next spot after Cielo that is Marley's spot <Pop Burger>! We had some drinks and burgers, Lam chop... and billiard till 2am...!
All and all it was a beautiful night and actually couldn't believe I was there till last.

<09-30-2011>Music of Bud Powell featuring Ethan Iverson, Tim Hagans, Greg Osby, Joey Baron, Lonnie Plaxico @Birdland Manhattan.
I actually wanted to go to see Cassandra Wilson at Rose Room @Lincoln Center but when I noticed her show was too late and all tickets were sold out... So me and Lafayette went to see our Dear Friend, Lonnie Plaxico at Birdland to listen to some Bud Powell music!I had not been there for a while but always nice bartender, remembers me and made fruit juice cocktail.
