Though I originally flew out to Toronto for All Star Weekend, I ended up in Los Angeles hours later to do Grammy weekend instead. I just couldn’t handle the cold!

It was such an amazing trip, from covering Power 106′s Valentine’s concert (featuring The Weeknd, Kehlani, French Montana, Kid Ink, Tory Lanez and more,) to French’s Grammy dinner, Kehlani’s Grammy party, Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy party, various events with Mike Zombie and Rosenberg – a dope trip all around!

Joe Budden x Marisa Mendez x Rory – I’ll Name This Podcast Later [Episode 51] LIVE FROM SOB’S!

COVER

On Tuesday, February 2, I’ll Name This Podcast Later celebrated its one-year anniversary (albeit a week early) with a live podcast at the legendary SOB’s in NYC. We sold out the event in less than three weeks, and the venue was PACKED with fans from all over (parts of Texas, Chicago, Maryland, North Carolina, Boston, Montreal), as well as all of our friends and family. It was truly one of the greatest nights of my life, and I can’t thank you guys enough for making it so special for me.

During the 2+ hour long show, we discussed a few current events, took a few fan questions, heard Joey and Johnny G‘s crazy L.A. story…and I was forced to perform my horrible, awful 2006 song, “Lick It Or Not.” What a time…

Listen to the episode below, along with tons of amazing pictures from the night, captured by various photographers. Thank you all once again! What city should we hit next?
