Krudmart just released this essential BBQ mixtape compiled by Caps and Jones. I thoroughly thank him for this because every time I grill, I just put on rap music or start raving and they’re all no man, we want to chill, don’t you have anything besides that, no, not really, but now I do! Yay! Its great, there is this halal meat market at 23rd and Lombard with great meat and great prices, sirloins are like $3/pound. I can get an inch thick steak about 12 inches long for like 6.50. I either marinate it or just learned this new trick where you cover it (so you can’t see the steak any more) with coarse salt for an hour, it pulls out some of the juice and breaks down the steak making it nice and tender. After the jump download the mix and check the tracklist. (more…)
Aaliyah graces the cover of the FADER’s annual Icon Issue. Below you can download the issue as a PDF for FREE as well as an Aaliyah mixtape MP3 by Caps.

Mo money, no problems indeed. New Silk City, like old Silk City but now with better sound. Not really sure what they did besides clean and replace the speakers. Good times, good break from this grey weather. Words escape me. Guys 2 sales this weekend. One at Grasshopper and one at Pedestrian, but you should already be In The Know.
Friday
Jinxed BBQ / Art opening jumpoff with Opal DJing 7 - 10Pm (620 S. 4th)
Roll Call!!! Caps and Emynd & Jones & Bo Bliz at the M Room. They’re like the fantastic four but without the super powers and there isn’t a girl. Remember the last time? No? Yeah my memory is a bit hazy from that night as well. I do know that I had a blast. presented by Simplefly. Guestlist for half price entry.
Mojito on the Moshulu - Latin / Afro / summery house music and such with live percussionists on a boat. Open bar 10:30 - 11:30 (note the change in time). Grown and sexy good times with 900 of your closest friends. There will be more bars open this time. (Delaware and South)
There is this party where they freak out like crazy people and get rad with partytrainsoldiers. This time there is 30 cases of Colt45 which probably won’t last from 9 - 11. Special guests Voxtrot. If you email talesofphiladelphia@viceland.com you can get free entry if you are one of the first 100 rsvps to arrive. Making Time at Transit (600 spring garden)
For those of you familiar with the Philadelphia Weekly, one of the features is “Whats Up With?”. Its usually a local musician or at least one living in Philly. Sometimes they stretch as far to Baltimore for cats like Rod Lee. This week’s feature is on DJ duo and recent Philly transplants Caps & Jones.
Veteran DJ duo Will “Honorable Caps” Creeley and Brian “Pandemonium Jones” Curtis are having more fun than you are. After making a name with their debut mix CD Bouillabaisse and influential follow-up Moving in Stereo, it’s safe to say C&J are in the building. Imagine a rap fan’s journey through the cosmos with Carl Sagan and The Big Lebowski’s Dude. If there’s a genre titled “no genre,” this recording is the benchmark.
“If we didn’t make the music we wanna hear, nobody else would,” says Creeley, 26.
You can download their mixtapes Bouillabaisse and Moving In Stereo among others at CapsAndJones.com. And, I forgot to mention this in the White Tees post but Caps & Jones & Emynd & Bo Bliz will be tag teaming at the M Room on St. Patricks Day March 17th!!!
