We did it massive for DRE DAY ‘10. The Jordan Years interpolated a handful of classic Dr. Dre tracks, and were joined onstage by a host of local Chicago Hip-Hop talents including Psalm One, Adad, ANG13, Vitamin D, Wondur, Ill Legit, Phillip Morris, & Shadow Master MC with Wes Restless at the helm playing the role of Nate Dogg. DJ Intel was kind enough to record the fellas set, made a bandcamp about it… here it goes. Enjoy!
Dre Day 2010 went off something fierce! Easily the most fun we’ve had at a Hip-Hop show in awhile. Local photographer about town Sean Costin of camerainmyhand.com documented the evening and manned the portable ‘Chronic’-themed photobooth.

The Marketing & Event Production firm Ground Lift Media and the Minnesota-based design collective Burlesque of North America have joined forces to present the 2010 installment of DRE DAY: A Celebration of the Life and Music of Dr. Dre. February is quickly approaching, and this will be our eighth year celebrating Andre Young and his creative contributions to the world of Hip-Hop.
It’s time to strap on your Compton hats and locs and celebrate the music and legacy of one of the greatest Hip-Hop artists of all time, the icon responsible for introducing the world to acts as diverse as N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, The D.O.C., Eminem, J.J. Fad, 50 Cent, Arabian Prince, and so many more. It’s Dre Day 2010 and everybody’s celebratin’!
Big Once (aka DJ Once A Month, Lab-O Records) was our special guest this month at Uberjam for our first annual RIP ODB celebration. We had hoped to record his set live that evening but dim lighting, beer, and technical difficulties prevailed. But Once is a professional and this afternoon during a live, 20 minute one take session he recorded his entire set for us! Not tracked out or manipulated in any way, this is essentially an exact duplicate of what went down @ Uberjam. Enjoy!
