The Red Velvet Cafe (RVC) team of two aka (Kevin Norris & Dj Tuc) were presented the opportunity to participate in the 2023 "Homage to Black Music Student Body Assembly" at the city of Anderson's renowned T.L. Hanna High School (famous names like Chadwick Boseman, Coach Harold Jones, James Robert RADIO Kennedy should come to mind) for this years Black History music celebration courtesy of teacher& producer  of the event Camille Richardson. So the popular RVC DJ & M.C. were tapped to host the Hip Hop roots & culture  portion of this prestigious event. The latter part of our set was captured live an instant Truskool hit with the student body & it went a lil sumthing like thissssss!!!!

This edition of the RVC LIVE from th HAUS OF ART features  performances by the popular upcoming lyrical Anderson S.C. phenom JAISON WADE also ATL's very own seasoned Southern Soul crooner know as POKA JONES pops in the Red Velvet Cafe to remind everyone to count all their blessings. Turning it up to the max that night was the energetic poet & lyricist The BOSTON MASSACRE aka the DMX of poetry. Kevin & I wrap up this edition with elements from my birthday celebration Truskool RVC style of course with me dropping classics on the 1's & 2's. Enjoy folks until next time..Peace!

As the art of Truskool Deejaying begins to get resurrected for the craft & appreciation it deserves & the Trap Dj has begun to fade these days, just as quickly  as the new technology allowed it flourish. Dj T-Rock returns to turn up the heat just in time for the summer with a wide variety of classic hits new & old for the people who enjoy real skilled mixing & blends. This duel threat dj/artist steps back up on the 1's & 2's to eradicate any notions from haters & detractors that he's washed up. With almost 3 decades in the entertainment biz & still going, I'd say he's been tried and proven having withstood the test of time. From the vinyl analog era to the digital age he has earned his name & respect year after year. Enuff talk NOW enjoy the mix & see for yourself!!!!!

This one I decided to release in honor of my late great friend Michael Collier, who stage name was known throughout the upstate of S.C.  as the performing artist K-TRIK-E. Being a true consistent performer, always doing what he loved, working the audience & his craft every-time he grabbed a mic, either on stage or hyping the crowd, sometimes even when I was on the mix at a party. Shawty So Sexy was originally released as a commercial radio dance record back in early 2020 featuring a few guest artist. I remixed it for him, giving it a headnodding Truskool boom bap  & Soulful feel by diggin in the crates. It never was officially released by his record distribution company Sugo Music due to alot of political red tape. He liked  the mix  basically because I took his track it in a whole different direction & vibe.  Keep in mind I had done remixes for him before. Well previously unreleased here it is, YOU DECIDE!

This is part 2 the sequel of the magnificent Red Velvet Cafe show at Haus Of Art  on 8-20-21. Things really got turned up a notch as did the host Kevin Norris being the axis of the fun & mayhem.  Shout out to Cros Lux & Gino X from THE BLACK TABLE show whom had cameras rolling to capture all the action LIVE during this one. If you think part-one was a roller coaster ride then part-two will really take you to the max. Pushing boundaries & breaking stereotypes this is par for the course when rolling with us here at the RVC. FORGET WHAT YA HEARD!! Come see us live for yourself you won't be disappointed. ENJOY!!!

The RVC just made its second appearance this weekend past on the newest artistic creative platform in the city of Anderson S.C. known as the Haus Of Art founded by Mr. Patro Ulmer. One of the best shows of the year since the start of our joint venture began there. The energy was highly festive right from start to finished  as the ladies rocked with Kev & I all evening bringing the hype.

Communique a late1997 ANDERSON, SC hip-hop duo comprised back then of emcee' & producers Allen (Phat da ILL Speaka) Galloway & Landrick (Prafessa Chops) Pond. They first appeared on a record I produced titled "Ask a Nigga from da Southside" & later Cool Chuck & I featured them on the Kackalakie Compilation. This banger was included originally on the album. So 25 years later I decide to celebrate them & their contributions with a tribute remix for the A.N.D. hip hop historical music archives. Enjoy!!

This record originally was featured on our 1996 debut "Southsyde Funk" Album produced by Cool Chuck & myself aka Dj Tuc known collectively then as the duo titled South Movement from Anderson, SC aka da A.N.D. As Cool Chuck will cosign it was joints like this that we shopped back then to record companies that captured the ears of the R&B Singer Pebbles at her then label Savvy Records in Atlanta GA. To commemorate the 25th year anniversary of this unreleased hip-hop gem. I decided to do a special 2021 Fulwer St. Mix for the song "I Got My Own Thang" . In case you didn't know Fulwer Street is our old Southside neighborhood hangout spot where the good, bad & ugly went down. But most importantly is where we gained alot of our creative musical inspiration from in this part of the city. Hope you enjoy our little trip backdown memory lane. (Lol) Remixed by yours truly Dj Tuc da A.N.D. Representa..... Peace

We successfully produced our first Ladies Night Red Velvet Cafe Show Edition @ STUDIO AESTHETE in Anderson, SC. Which featured a talented showcase of all female artist and poets. I decided to share our pre-show warm up. Kevin & I have so much fun making sure the audience is always entertained. Press play & join in on that special night of 2-27-21

Being a huge fan of the Anderson S.C. (aka da A.N.D.) veteran recording artist K-TRIK-E since the 90's & a bigger admirer of that 8Ball & MJG southern funk sound. I couldn't resist the marital mash of the two remixing TRIK's classic vocals over that funk soul groove. As a Dj I'm always experimenting take a listen chevy caprices never sounded so good do enjoy.
