NYC: Fool’s Gold Family & Friends Holiday Bash
- story THE FADER
If you live in New York, you’ve probably experienced streets crowded with thousands of people getting into the non-denominational holiday spirit by now. Here at the office we are staying above the fray and enjoying the FADER lobby holiday display, complete with robot Santa Claus, but we will be heading out to the totally free, totally fun Fool’s Gold Family & Friends Holiday Bash this Friday at Twelve21 (12 West 21st St.) featuring our dudes Nick Catchdubs, Sammy Bananas, The Brothers Macklovitch (that would be A-Trak and Dave 1 of Chromeo), Cipha Sounds and, um, DJ PREMIER. To RSVP hit foolsgold@epiphanymediallc.com, and come say what’s up to us when you get there, we’ll be yelling for Jeru album cuts from the back. Full flyer after the jump.

Wouldn’t you love to hear any one of NYC’s big dogs on this beat? Imagine if it was the Lox’s triumphant comeback single? The Rae and Ghost collab to end all Rae and Ghost collabs? The song everyone in their heart of hearts really wants to leak off that Nas LP? Faces would melt! Radios would explode! The internet would eat itself! But daydreams are for suckers—and Massachusetts MC Reks doesn’t sound half bad on this. Still, it seems like every new Premier track we’ve come accross over the past year has been attached to an underground rapper with about as much starpower as we have. Is it too much to ask for, like, Fabolous? Think about the children!
