What's good ya'll? How you doing? Well last week was very busy for me.

Tuesday-

I had to do a party in L.A. at club Ritual for my boss Lamar Odom's birthday party. First off, here's some advice...if you're flying out of New York and you're bringing your DJ equipment, get to the airport 3 hours early! My flight was scheduled for 4:00, so I arrived at 2:00. When I get to the ticket counter, the customer service lady tells me that I'm going to miss my plane! LOL. I didn't want to argue with her, so I just ran so I could make my fight. When I got to the gate, the flight still didn't leave until 4:00! Like I said New York is the absolute worst city to fly out of.

I landed in L.A. 8:30 and I had to be at the venue at 9:00, because in L.A. parties close down pretty early. They had arranged for a driver to pick me up, but that didn't work out to well because he came in a limo cab and it was way too small for all the people and the equipment that I had with me. So you know me, I had to make a power move and demand a truck. By the time it got there, I didn't even have time to the hotel and change, so I had to get dressed in the car. Superstar status! LOL. I came right into the club arguing with the bouncers, because they wouldn't let me and my peeps in with my equipment. They said I was the only one that was allowed in and of course I was like "Are you kidding?" I had my equipment with me because I don't trust the equipment at these different clubs.

Anyway, when we finally got in the club dammmn they already had someone opening up for me, so I could've actually went to the hotel to freshen up. F--k it I'm hood. LOL. At like 11:00 I got on. The club was packed! Lamar hired Kendra from the Playboy mansion/ MTV Rap Superstar to be the host. She had like 10 security guys. I guess Hugh Hefner keeps his girls secure. LOL. She was dancing all around, doing that same dance she did on the show. LOL. Of course, I killed the party. Trey Songz performed. You can check out the pics on one of those celebrity websites. Ali Vegas performed his new single with Sammie. That was hot. Later on, this Italian dude said "happy birthday" to Lamar and gave him $5,000 to throw out on stage. The night was definitely crazy.

Wednesday

I was in L.A. going to different radio stations getting to know the people out there to promote my album. Later, I had to catch the red eye back to New York to handle my business.

Thursday

I came back to work in the studio on my album. Shout out to Statik. His album is crazy!

Friday

I was making the preparations for the ski trip that I'm throwing in February. Come through it's gonna be in Lancaster PA.

Hey ya'll, sorry to keep you waiting, but I never want to bore you. Sometimes my life can get hectic and I always want to give you a real view inside the life of a superstar DJ. During my hiatus a lot has happened, so let me fill you in. I have officially signed my record deal with Rich Soil Records and the release is set for Spring '08, I also have a new ringtone deal and the first song will be "Pick the Money Up" by Remy Ma and Storm P and my man Big T and I just dropped Nas' official promo mixtape entitled "Greatest Hits." I promise not to go away for so long again and shouts out to all the peeps giving me feedback on my column. I really appreciate all the love.

So, here's what I've been up to for the past week:

Wednesday night/ Thursday-

I was scheduled to go to the DJ Power Summit in Las Vegas, but I wasn't able to make it that day because I had a party to DJ that I'd committed like 5 months ago. So I rocked the party until 4am and bounced so I could make it to JFK, because my label had booked me on a 5:50am flight Thursday morning. Well guess what? I get to the airport and the flight was actually at 5:50am on WEDNESDAY morning! So I basically rushed to the airport for nothing. Damn!

My label, Rich Soil operates on Pacific Time so I couldn't get anyone on the phone to tell them my flight was booked for the wrong day. So, I headed back home. I finally got a call by the Vice President of Rich Soil, Quinn Rhone; she's the daughter of Sylvia Rhone, the President of Universal/ Motown. Quinn tells me that she really needs me out there to do some networking wit the dj's for my album. So, I got on the 3:30pm flight and arrived in Vegas at 8:54pm. I got to the venue just in time to see the Def Jam showcase. It was really good. Freeway performed and there were also a couple of other things going on that night. I also got to check out the sneak preview of "American Gangster." It was cool, but I didn't know the movie was like 2 ½ hours long, so it really took a lot of excitement out of it, but overall it was pretty good. After the movie, I ran into a few of my peers including DJ Drama, DJ Enuff, Big Kap...so on and so on. Man, so many faces from different places, I saw my man A.G. and Remo Da Rapstar. I'm tellin' ya'll Remo is definitely on his grind. I also had my artist Storm P with me, so we basically networked throughout the whole night and afterwards we stopped through the "American Gangster" party at Caesars. It was off the hook and I ended up getting mad drunk! Lol.

Friday-

I woke up with a crazy hangover and a couple of presents in my email inbox... some new Jay-Z joints to be exact. This is some crazy hot music so being the competitor I am, I was tight since I couldn't drop a hot CD this week because I was out west. But, don't worry DJ's I'll see you next week. LOL. But, anyway I was supposed to catch the Lakers preseason game against the Kings, but I couldn't go because my boss Lamar Odom of the L.A. Lakers set up a party for me in L.A. I caught a 40 minute flight and then headed over to the venue. It was cool. I did a quick set at this club....and straight killed it! When we left there me and Storm P met up wit my homegirl, Playboy model and King magazine covergirl Vida Guerra and her friends. I had a 24-hour driver, so I took it to Jerry's Restaurant. I came in at like 5:00am and they had a party going on in my hotel and they were playing CD's. Since I had my equipment, I told them to let me spin for a minute. I set my stuff up and me and my crew had a party in the hotel. I figured hey since I'm in L.A. I might as well do it up!

Saturday-

I had to wake up crazy early to meet up with my lawyer as well as my advertising team. They had me attend a class to show me how to speak in public and front of the cameras. I actually requested it because deejaying can really open the doors to other business ventures like TV, film, etc and I really want to be on top of my game. Later, I met up with Lamar discuss the artists that are going to be on my album, listen to some different beats, and we also listened to the finished Ali Vegas album. I don't want to give up anything, but he has a crazy song with Nas. FIRE!!! After that we went to this sushi place to grab something to eat. I saw Nicole Richie along with a gang of paparazzi. They really go hard on those A-list celebs. I don't know how people can live like that... but I'm ready. LOL. I was invited to the Playboy Mansion, so you know we had to slide through there. WOW!!! I saw Hugh Hefner and I told him that my name is DJ Superstar Jay. He said that he thought it was a cool name. I'm not gonna lie, I was hype! We hopped in the pool and into a cave and the bunnies were showing me and Storm P mad love! We had crazy fun! The night still wasn't over, after that went to Quinn Rhone's birthday party. It was cool getting to meet everyone at the label. We partied it up.

Sunday-

I just relaxed. I met up with Lamar one more time. He wanted me to meet the person who's responsible for getting all of the clearances for my album. We chopped chop it up for a while. He said "damn I heard about you Jay, but I see you're really ready for this." LOL. After that I had to catch my flight back NYC, because I had to get back on these streets and do what I do best as well as DJ a couple of parties.

So I'm signing off until next week. Same Superstar Station...and I've also got to add that I had a total of 4 hours sleep, so right now I'm on fumes. LOL.

Upcoming Releases-

Be on the lookout for my new CD with Peedi Crack as well as the all female CD that I'm working on. I'm also doing CD with legendary mixtape dude Pretty Ugly... and me and my man Big T just dropped the official promo "Greatest Hits" mixtape with Nas....and lastly my upcoming blend CD is guaranteed to be the best joint you've heard in a while

You know there are a few award shows coming up over the next few months so I will definitely be needing your support. Check out www.themixtapeawardsonline.com as well as www.urbanglobaldvdawards.com and let them know that you want to see Superstar Jay on the ballot....Thanks!!!
