"Oldschool Weds" at LAVO with Phife from A Tribe Called Quest

It's been almost 5 months now & our "Oldschool Weds" party at LAVO has been thriving, getting better & better every week all thanks to the support of our Knyewtrons in & out of Las Vegas. This week we got Phife Dawg from A Tribe Called Quest & actor/director Michael Rappaport in the building, celebrating the release of their new documentary "Beats Ryhmes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest". Having seen this doc over 5 times, I can't explain how amazing it was to see the birth, life & tragic destruction of my favorite childhood hip-hop captured on film. I've been an ATCQ fan since "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" & a die hard Q-Tip fan since his first cameo on the Jungle Brothers "Black Is Black". I can't wait to meet Michael Rappaport & witness Phife, the 5 Ft Assasin, rock the crowd this Wednesday. You don't wanna miss this one Knyewtrons. Email us at events@knyew.com for guestlist info. See yall Wednesday!!! Crooked Signing out...

Greg N-I-C-E hangin' at K-N-Y-E-W

Yesterday afternoon, our boy & long time Knyewtron supporter, DJ Direct, stopped by the shop with the one & only Greg Nice from Nice & Smooth. Flying in from NY to Vegas for his performance at LAVO's "Oldschool Weds" party, Greg Nice arrived a day early to wild out with Direct & ofcourse, cop some gear from his NY bredrens at KNYEW (it's mandatory people). In case you youngsta's don't know, Nice & Smooth are known for a bunch of hits like "Funky For You", "Hip-Hop Junkies", "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow" & the classic "Dwyck" with Gangstarr front man Guru (RIP). Much love to Greg Nice & our NY fam DJ Direct for coming through & showing us love. Until next time Knyewtrons...Crooked signing out!

KNYEW's Recap of "Oldschool Weds" at LAVO

Here's some great video clips of from our "Oldschool Weds" party that's been jumping off at LAVO. The first video is from our first week with Rev Run from RUN DMC.



Here's another clip from our second week at LAVO when Black Sheep performed "Flavor of the Month" & "Choice Is Yours". Pretty sick night...



For the past 3 weeks, my shop girl Jaz & I have been taking flicks & collecting photos from our Wednesday night party at LAVO, documenting every inebriated moment in the club. Due to massive incoming deliveries, tax returns & constant traveling, I didn't get a chance to go through any of our pics with Jaz until earlier this week. Here's a look at some of the fantastic craziness that went down with the KNYEW Crew & the fam at "Old School Wednesdays". I gotta give a special thanks to all our friends who came out to support this amazing party. We had industry heads, LV locals, DJ's & homies from NY to Cali stop through. See you on the wheels Knyewtrons! Crooked signing out.

"Oldschool Weds" at LAVO Continues...

Our "Old School Wednesdays" party at LAVO is still going! As we approach week 4, it's hard to believe that a night of all hip-hop, r&b, breaks & classics could thrive on the strip. We've had such an incredible turn out every week & the response from everyone including the LAVO staff & management has been overwhelmingly positive. This week, we'll have a special live performance from old school legend ROB BASE who'll perform his iconic hip-hop anthem "It Takes Two". Needless to say, seeing this song being performed live will definitely be a first for me & I can't wait to see Rob Base get on stage & recite those unforgettable lyrics "I wanna rock right now, I'm Rob Base & I came to get down...".
