Hezekiah & DJ Statik Tour Blog 3/27/08

Budapest, Hungary – Thursday, March 27, 2008

Statik: So much has happened in the past few days. We did a couple shows, ate a bunch of meals, got the run around in a couple taxis, and bought a bunch of sneakers. Vienna has one of my favorite shopping centers in the world. The outlet stores there have prices that cannot be matched. I couldn’t contain myself in the shops. My life long sneaker habit had to get supported.
Every time we go on the road, we have to get creative with packing techniques to fit all of the clothes and sneakers bought. It’s become a frequent issue but one I’m not complaining about.

We played Warsaw in Poland for a dope crowd the other night. Definitely the hypest crowd on the tour so far. Afterwards, we decided to go out to see what was popping in the city. The taxi driver ended up taking us to his friend’s bar alllll the way on the other side of the city which turned out to resemble what I would imagine is a Polish Mafia whore house type of situation. It wasn’t really a good look especially considering that we didn’t take the address of the Hilton that we were staying at and without him would probably not have gotten back to it. That portion of the night overall was a huge waste of time and cash.

Last night we rocked at B72 in Vienna. The last time I played there was in 2004 with Bahamadia, Kev Brown, and DJ Roddy Rod. The place is always filled to capacity and the energy is always ridiculous. The only semi wack thing though was that there was no room for me on stage so the DJ Booth was set up right next to the stage so technically it worked but visually it wasn’t the same.

Hezekiah: The chemistry has gotten so much better between all of the acts and the band throughout this run. Me, Statik, Baham, and Jag share tons of laughter everyday. We would like to take a tour like this to the states and continue the fun. Who knows what may happen. As an encore to the shows every night, following Jag’s set, Statik had the idea of throwing on The Roots’ classic joint “What You Want” from the Best Man soundtrack with Jag on the hook and having everyone come back to kick exclusive verses over it. The crowd goes stupid every time we do it. Sometimes all of us aren’t up for it but when we do it, it really comes across well. Philly we wish you could see that shit. We reppin y’all well!
