So what brought The Taste Crew to San Diego anyway?

Dave and Erik are both born and raised San Diegoians. Lev was raised in the Lone Star State while I (JameZ) am Boston born and bred. We all converged in San Diego with three main goals:

1. Taste up the plethora of So-Cal sights, sounds, aromas, and seemingly endless warmth.
2. Practice, prepare and then record a demo at the “diamond in the rough” studio – Flight 19.
3. Perform as much as possible in and around San Diego.

Only being in Cali for 10 days meant cramming in as much action as possible. When you exist to Taste Life and not waste life, cramming in action is a given. As Dave points out in this Tastecapade it’s like we’re on a Taste Marathon. It was at this exact moment that I was hit with a rhyme from back in the day by Evidence of Dilated Peoples:

You know these days ain’t gettin any longer
Naw, it’s do or die
Now or never, time to hit the street
We on the, move
Ride out with shit to prove
Everywhere we go they like…
It’s a green light for you
Got Lyrics about pleasure some about pain
From Southern Cali where they say it never rains
It’s different things that make me count blessings
We burn for our peeps that ain’t here as we sing

My first time in Southern Cali and out of nowhere I’m hit with a rhyme that speaks of it. Furthermore the vibe totally coincides with Taste and our mentality. We are on the move with things to prove and are making it a point to appreciate and embrace every blessing given to us along the way.
