We have a very special edition of The Foundation this Saturday at SOM. We’re celebrating the birthday of our very own, DJ Mr. E. Not only is Mr. E a highly celebrated DJ in the Bay are, but he’s also the co-owner of the Bay Area landmark restaurant, Papalote. Mr. E has not only shared his musical talents with the Bay, but he is also a friend of the community and great supporter of positive change and growth in the community. He constantly donates his time and food to help others.

With that said, we invite all of you to come help celebrate his special day. It’s time we give some love back! We also have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST: DJ PREMIER of Gang Starr, that will be playing at his birthday. He hails from New York City and is a living legend behind the turntables as well as one of the best producers in Hip Hop. Trust, you won’t want to miss this event.

Happy Birthday Mr. E aka Miguel Escobedo. We appreciate you and what you continually do for the Bay Area.

Remember, experience is everything.

+DJ PREMIER+

DJ PREMIER (also known as Preem, Premo, or Primo for short), is an American record producer and DJ, and was the instrumental half of the hip hop duo Gang Starr, together with emcee Guru. Born in Houston and raised in Prairie View, Texas, he has lived in Brooklyn, New York, for much of his professional career. Rolling Stone identified Premier as arguably Hip-Hop’s greatest producer of all time.

The Source named DJ Premier one of the five greatest producers in hip-hop history, while the editors of About.com ranked him #1 on their Top 50 Hip-Hop Producers list. He also made the “Elite 8” in the search for The Greatest Hip-Hop Producer of All Time by Vibe.

Our prayers go out to Guru

Guru was one of the artist I grew up on and listening to Gang Starr and Jazzmatazz always brings me back.

Guru, a rapper from the pioneering Boston-based hip-hop group Gang Starr, is in a coma after suffering a heart attack over the weekend; DJ Premier, the other half of Gang Starr, first confirmed the news on his Sirius Satellte Radio Show Sunday.

The 43 year-old, whose real name is Keith Elam, will reportedly undergo surgery Monday in a New York City hospital.

Hip-hop producer Solar, who works with the rapper, tells UsMagazine.com: “Guru is struggling with a serious health issue. We appreciate all your love and well wishes. we continue to hold out hope that Guru will make a full recovery from this, and ask that his privacy on this matter be respected. Again Thank you for all your support through this trying time.”

Guru — whose last solo album Guru 8.0 was released last May — was named #45 in a “Top 50 MCs of Our Time” list at about.com.
