Arden Villas Independence Day Splash Pool Party w/ Docta Dawe, Justin James, and Kid Juda

What better way to spend 4th of July than at a East Orlando pool party!! If you have been to the last two pool parties we were involved in this summer, you know we do it right. If you forgot how crazy they were, just check out the pics here and here. Soooo we decided to do it again, and at a different location. This time its going down at Arden Villas and will pretty much be an all out free-for-all. Bring your floaties, and your beer goggles, because its going downnnnn with free beer all day as your serenaded by the sounds of Kid Juda, Justin James, and Myself, DJ Docta Dawe. $10 all you can drink beer, all day. (12pm-6pm, $10 all u can drink beer, Arden Villas Apartments, 3303 Arden Villas Blvd, Orlando, FL)

Justin James promises to bring enough chest oil for everyone this time.

B-Live: A-Trak, Matt & Kim, DJ Jazzy Jeff

Via the Orlando Weekly: Bacardi, the propagators of the liquor that launched a thousand rap lyrics from artists grateful for a word to rhyme with “party,” presents its free concert series with headliner A-Trak. The turntable wunderkind and paramour of Kid Sister is a marvel to watch behind the decks, and you couldn’t ask for a better master of ceremonies on a hot July Fourth holiday. In addition, the Bacardi B-Live lineup boasts the hummable talents of Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim, whose last stop in Orlando landed the Matt half in the hospital with back injuries. (His publicist says he’s better now but that our city should take it easy on him.) Also on the bill is Will Smith sidekick DJ Jazzy Jeff, who posted on Twitter that the plug had been pulled from his June 6 Kansas City set for spinning hip-hop. A plethora of excuses were offered by the venue – he was asked beforehand not to play rap; the sound mix was too loud – but Jeff called it censorship. The incident landed the winner of the first-ever Grammy award for rap back in headlines for the first time in decades, and not a moment too soon. Jazzy Jeff has continued his post-Fresh Prince career with class and mastery, mentoring countless young artists and releasing a stellar hip-hop–soul album in 2007. Of course, if Jazzy Jeff doesn’t spin a little “Summertime,” feel free to pull his plug again.
