DJ D-Nice Hosts The Hottest #ClubQuarantine Party Ever – Michelle Obama, Oprah, Janet Jackson, Joe Biden & Tons More Virtually Pull Up, Reaches 100K Viewers

Folks have been struggling being quarantined due to the spread of the Coronavirus. However, DJ D-Nice is making it or new normal more tolerable. More inside…

  DJ D-Nice has the world rocking…literally!

The federal government advised we all self-quarantine and to not gather in groups over 10 people, dubbed "social distancing." So, DJ D-Nice brought the party to everyone’s living room!

                  I never would’ve imagined that the best party I would create and DJ would be from the comfort of my own home. Homeschool is a thing! Yesterday was absolutely insane. The amount of artists and friends that virtually partied with me far exceeded my expectations. I’m feeling nothing but gratitude. Thanks to all of you that supported. This has been a great way to keep our spirits high. Blessings! Sending some love to my family. Shout out to all of my industry execs! Much love to all of the artists!

  Over the last few days, DJ D-Nice has been hopping on IG Live to host what he calls “Homeschool at Club Quaratine.” Last night, EVERYONE was in the online mix. Like, everyone. We've been rocking out since Day 1!

Forever First Lady Michelle Obama, Drake, Ciara, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, Oprah, Gayle King, Queen Latifah, Naomi Campbell, Steve Wonder, Clive Davis, Chaka Khan, Will Smith, Diddy, Ellen DeGeneres, Bruno Mars, LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett Smith, Quincy Jones, Joe Budden, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Magic Johnson, Nia Long and Tina Knowles Lawson joined in on the TURN UP. Politicians also joined in, including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris.

"I never would’ve imagined that the best party I would create and DJ would be from the comfort of my own home," DJ D-Nice wrote on IG. "Homeschool is a thing! Yesterday was absolutely insane. The amount of artists and friends that virtually partied with me far exceeded my expectations. I’m feeling nothing but gratitude. Thanks to all of you that supported. This has been a great way to keep our spirits high. Blessings! Sending some love to my family. Shout out to all of my industry execs! Much love to all of the artists!"

And guess what?!

Last night, the Live stream peaked all the way up to 100,000 viewers. Woot! 

The good vibes caught the attention of The New York Times: “Sitting at home during this quarantine I started to feel empty,” he told them. “There is nothing like playing the music and feeling the music.”

This is a mixtape done by Mick Boogie in homage to the Tribe. It's probably one of the better mixtapes I've heard lately. You can tell Mick Boogie is a big Tribe fan and puts some cool twists on some classics. Until the last Tribe album on Jive comes out (yes, I believe it will happen) little nuggets like this will have to do. 

Enjoy

I saw this last weekend at the New Zealand International Film Festival. To be honest I didn't know much about the doco before I saw it, other than the fact it was about the Tribe (obviously), and that it was directed by that dude from Boston Public. 

It exceeded my expectations. I'm not going to lie I'm a huge Tribe fan so I wasn't going to be hard to please, but the audience was predominately middle-class professionals, trying to be cool and edgy by going to a festival doco about hip-hop. They seemed to enjoy it, so the movie does have a broader appeal. 

The most intriguing aspect of the film, was the examination of the relationship between Q-Tip and Phife. Q-Tip reminded me of MJ. He's that intense teammate, who's an absolute perfectionist and needs everyone to be at his level and function with the same ruthless efficiency. Phife is more laid back and the film left me feeling a bit sorry for him.

Watch this film...
