This time of year, we& #39;d be in pre-production for our annual hip hop family reunion, #Soundset. The content team would be chillin& #39; in our trailer, catching up, + preparing for a memorable weekend.⁣

Also, please appreciate @instabaeth& #39;s spreadsheet.

If you& #39;re somewhat new to me and only know me from @ASTROGaming, for the last 7 years, I& #39;ve also helped work on an annual hip hop festival of 30,000+ attendees called @soundset.

Here& #39;s a recap from 2018: https://youtu.be/kv8GKyVt-Ac ">https://youtu.be/kv8GKyVt-...

So many of us pour our blood, sweat, + tears into putting #Soundset together every year in so many ways, but especially @jbird. Here& #39;s a pic of us back when we shared the same trailer. Also back when they still trusted me w/ a radio. Never a golf cart, tho. lol

#Soundset 2013 was my very first @soundset. I hadn& #39;t worked for theAudience (which is how @atmosphere, @rhymesayers + I first started working together) in 5 months, and made the decision to leave working for JL to try to figure out what I really wanted to be doing with my life.⁣

"You should come out this year. Hang out. We will take care of you." So off to Shakopee, MN I went. Who knew my life was about to change in the best ways with some of the best people. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">⁣

Here are a few images from that year. More here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhOfHLHRPv/ ">https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhOfHL...

By the time #Soundset 2014 came around, I went back to working with @rhymesayers, but more directly, and took on way too much responsibility for one person that I couldn& #39;t really leave the production trailer. I made one exception for @atmosphere, of course.

#Soundset 2015, we started making some changes. I had a team and a little more time to enjoy the show outside of the production screens. It was also the year that kicked off wonderful friendships with @gwatsky and @StephenVanasco. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">

#Soundset 2016: @StephenVanasco returned, I believe it was @VernNotice& #39;s first year, and the year that I think we all realized this was going to turn into an annual reunion for us all.

I met a lot of great people; made a lot of great shots.
