Jay Z Tour Done!!!
Yes its now 22:45hrs, were on the road to derby from aberdeen, 400 miles to go. 6hrs drive left. We just smashed the last date of the Jay Z and Mark Ronson tour at Aberdeen Exhibition Centre.
Tonight was the rowdiest crowd yet. 2500 people, which was the smallest crowd on tour but livest to date! Got ronson featuring on next episode of The Truth About Alex Blood so look out for that.
Last night was Glasgow which was live. Big after party. Shout to Rukus as it was his b day.
Machester was the biggest date 10,000 people. We went down like proper stars. Its only when I walked out on stage to that many people and see them react like they know who the fuck we were that I realised how far and wide our works travel. This is really turning into something. Gives me faith to keep goin.
All in tour was massive. Met bag of famous heads. Performed to around 23,000 people in the last week. Big experience. Just need my bed back in derby now. That's 6hrs away.
Look out for the coverage coming soon on the site.
Rock n roll baby!

Half Way Thru the Jay Z & Ronson Tour...
So its Friday the 18 June 2008. Were just under half way through the tour with Jay Z & Mark Ronson. So far this week we done Bournemouth and Cardiff, both live shows. Bout 35oo people at both.
We havent seen Jay Z in person yet, except for the stage show. His security people treat everyone like scum, even Mark Ronson got gripped by the neck backstage on Wednesday, nearly kicked off. But yh, Jigga mans crew are millitant, we all have to leave the backstage area before he will even enter the building, seriously its like some presidential shit.
Also found out as we arrived in Bournemouth that Wiley is is also rolling with Ronson on the tour aswell as Rhymefest from the states. So its been good to hang around some big time mcs and get the inside line on the industry from their point of view.
The shows themselves have been good so far. Kinda interesting playing with Ronson as a support act to Jay Z, but he gets em warmed up nicely. First night us boys kinda changed the plan abit and took about 16bars more than we should at the end of Valerie, threw the band and Mark and got a slight slap on the wrists for it. But hey nothing ventured nothing gained.
Ronsons tour manager is hoe. Keeps us locked out in the rain most dates until he finds a cleaners pass or something like that, for us to get into the venue. With which we cant get onto the stage without a argument with security, which is a bitch considering we are performing. Its all fun and games tho.
Got Manchester, Glasgow and Aberdeen to go this weekend. Shall post back soon!

Bollogs....
What is all the fuss about this blog bizniz. Apparently its the future!!! - and has been for some time now, so yh im proper late jumping on the band wagon.
Lily Allen appears to be more famous for her blog than her music, so maybe i can make really shit songs but still be famous off this?
Baby J (http://www.babyjbiz.blogspot.com/) producer to the broke, homeless and malnourished, also has a blog now! and i cant let him get one over on me so i had to follow suit. I just hope its gonna make me a world famous star and not be a total waste of my evenings typing away crap that no one will ever read.
Speaking of Lily Allen, i saw her nipple last week backstage at the O2 Wireless Festival at Hyde Park London. She was rocking a loose fitting top and i was stood in the right place at the right time lets say, obviously she doesnt know who the fuck i am but one day i will be sat on the couch on her talk show and i will tell the funny tale, might even put it as an anecdote on my press releases, oh how we shall chuckle!
Also bumped into people like Kano, Wiley, The Prodigy, Rio Ferdinand - who seemed to just be hob nobbing cause i didnt see his ass on stage, and as far as i know he aint pulling a pop career out the bag.
Anyway, i was there with Baby J and the posse as part of Mark Ronsons show. Was a big big experience, 12,000 plus people there. Needless to say we smashed it. I was the best part of Ronsons show by a mile. He actually told me that backstage afterwards and invited me round his yard for tea but i had to be back in Derby to teach the yout of tomorrow early the next morning. Sorry Ronson, the youts come first!
Im gonna try get the hang of this blog shizzle and try hit ya'll with fat exclusives - till then check out the doco soap drama - The Truth About Alex Blood - on youtube or my website right now!!!!
