This brotha hails from the San Francisco, ca and has been putting it down in the Bay Area, California, and National music+dj culture+party rockin'+hip hop+i could go on scene for many moons! When I asked Sake to contribute he was down and had this to say about a a drawing I did-based on a memory I had of him actually playing "Think Twice" by Donald Byrd at the Luggage Store in SF waaay back in 06' i think. Anyways, peep his experience.And the homie has alot of it, he has opened up for just about everybody musically you love, and has been holding dwn weekly+ monthly parties like "Pacific Standard Time" for hella long.
