Oh what a night.
A lot of y’all came through, illness and TRIED to come through to my anniversary party for the 10 year anniversary of “Original”, troche brought to you by adidas last week in NYC.
Basically, it got super packed super quick, AND the person in charge of the door at the club (which I won’t even name here) was the opposite of cool.
Below is a video that recaps the event , which included some of the worlds finest DJ’s on the wheels…
I didn’t get a chance to take pictures that nite so i had to “borrow” some below. Shoot, I didn’t even get to DJ the event. Trouble with the venue kept me from getting on the wheels (if you wish to know the details I would be GLAD to BLAB. ;) ) However as you see from above, the crowd didn’t miss a step.
Big shouts to DJ Daddy Dog my crewmate from the 5th platoon days, DJ Total Eclipse – my mentor, member of the X-ecutioners / MOTM season 2 , G-bo the Pro mixtape legend who was the original architect of my style , DJ Spinna – the DJ who inspired “Original” , and Questlove.
Shout out to my manager sky for putting it all together, and for Jon Wexler from adidas. Thats my manager below goofing if ya didn’t know, next to a dude that pretty much stole one of these special track jackets. Eh, its ok. He’s a fan ;)
For all y’all who have been supporting me, thank you so much. Without y’all listening I couldn’t have gone this far, and I plan to keep going.
Next time we have an anniversary party though, we’ll make sure it’s at a GOOD spot, and make sure everyone gets in ;) …

I’m in LA right now, actually on my way to SLC tonite. And of course, I had to make a stopover at Fat Beats LA …
As you should all know by now, Fatbeats NYC and Fatbeats LA will cease to exist in a Few Weeks, Marking an END to An ERA… one that is very near and dear to me as a fan and as a member of the Hip Hop Community.
I had to make sure to take in all the history of the LA store and capture bits and pieces of it for myself to remember when its gone…
If these walls could speak…. The Hip Hop history here is overwhelming… From Dr. Dre, to Q-bert… they’re signatures are all up on these walls.
Its only fitting, that this next promo piece is up here in the LA store…
Now as previously stated… 5th Platoon Crew was born out of Fat Beats.
As time has gone on, we’ve all gone in different directions. Kuttin Kandi is out in San Diego, DJ Do Boy is conquering the corporate world, Daddy Dog is off on a Ship right now DJing, I.Emerge is off making his mark on music , Vinroc is on the production tip out in San Fran….
I haven’t performed with my old crewmates in A VERY LONG TIME…. I think maybe 6 years ago I would say.
Those of you who have been following me know that I’ve been kind of busy bringing up my own brand to the level that its currently at;)
I think its an appropriate time for the 5th Platoon to ride for one last time for Fat Beats.
SEPTEMBER 3rd Friday
FROM 5-6 PM
DJ Neil Armstrong and DJ Roli Rho perform
5th Platoon returns to the turntables
The Fatbeats Closing Schedule.
Unfortunately the rest of the crewmates are spreadout all over the place, so its just gonna be myself and Roli Rho this time around, 2 of the 3 original founding members of the DJ Collective known as the 5th Platoon. And we will be bringing ya’ll back with some classic routines…
Performing with us will be one of my all time favorites Masta Ace,Tanya Morgan, J-Live, Pacewon and the Brown Bag All Stars .
In nyc, performances are going on ALL WEEK… SO PLEASE COME THRU TO SEND OFF THE STORE IN STYLE!
Fatbeats, you will be missed,but most definitely NOT forgotten.
Underground will live forever baby… we just like roaches… – DJ Premier
In you’re life time, tadalafil you need to head over to Cape Town South Africa.
Yeah, thats what it looks like up top. Beautiful.
I got to go a month ago, representing for Adidas during the world cup at their Three Stories event space. The only bad thing about this trip, I only had a day and a half to take it all in before I headed off to Johannesburg aka JoBurg for my adidas gig over there…
But before we get to the gig itself, lets take a few more looks at the environment. Shut down your ideas of how Capetown might be.
It is a truly cosmopolitan city, with beautiful views and nice people. A comparative world city – that would be miami… with mountains. So its even better.
Being out there for adidas during the world cup was as you can imagine a once in a lifetime experience…
I don’t have anything to compare it too because I’ve never been there before, but Shawn explained to me that you could feel the festiveness of the south africans, how they were pulling together, their pride in hosting such a high level international event.
Adidas created this Three Story Space – literally, for all the party people to come to to enjoy that atmosphere of celebration – Adidas Style.
Consisting basically of a gallery space, a Skatepark and A viewing area for the World cup games, this was the adidas blockparty add come alive.
A big shout out to the guys at Cross Trainer SA – http://www.xtrainer.co.za/ , who laced me up with some custom football jerseys –
And a big shout out to Jared – who gave me this fly Litho Book Plate for this project that he’s working on about South African Urban Art….
The day I was there was the day that Ghana played their infamous game with Uraguay. Everyone there was backing Ghana because they were the last African Country in the Cup. Soooo, as you can imagine, moral was on the low side ;)
BUT, ya can’t hang your head low forever, and my job became to make sure they could forget their problems for a bit and groove. Ya know what… let me stop yapping, cause it was all captured nicely on video below…
Ughh… So sad that I only got to chill there for a day. Oh well, more the reason for me to head back out there.
On that note – peace to Shaun Duvet of http://www.anythinggoes.co.za/ – the agency who for getting me out there ;) we have to do it again soon (hint hint)…
Next stop was my last stop…. Johannesburg.
And oh yes. I gots me a VUVUZELA.
Mr Carter has made news most recently with the collabo with super producer Dr Dre. But an important one to me is a different but similar connection.

Ah yes, patient the MC and the DJ .
It’s been a while now actually since I’ve played the backup roll for Jay- although MOST people still think I still DJ for Jay though, which makes me think people really don’t read my blogs or pay attention to my twitter ;) I still get asked on the daily.
I of course have moved on the bigger and better things – like ending up in the Star Wars “movie” with Snoop and Beckham, and travelling around the world solo for adidas…
But, another Bday Around the corner has got me Reminiscing over one of the most whirlwind times of my life.
About 3 months ago I dropped the DNA of the Blueprint on y’all, and for the most part barring a handful of critics… I think y’all liked it ;)
One complaint / request though, was that some of y’all NEEDED it Tracked out , seperated so you could fastforward and rewind with eaze in your car and whatnot.
And I’ve been slacking on that. BUT , since its my bday this Saturday, I figured it would be a good time to get my good karma up and give y’all , my supporters and fans a gift right back.
So here ya go – go here to Download the DNA of the Blueprint – Seperated Tracks ;)
http://djneilarmstrong.com/DNABP3.
Wow, troche in about 5 days its gonna be my Bday… and I can’t help but reflect.
To say I have a crazy life would be an understatement, help and when I do think back there have been a lot of turning points, remedy a lot of hallmark moments.
My buddy Vinroc used to have this theory that if you are on your proper “path”, things kind of come together for most people later in their life, when they hit their 30’s.
For me, that was well, back about 5 years ago ;)
I think what vinny said was kind of true… it was around that time that the outside non underground worldstarted to take notice of me.
Back in 2005 was the first time that Cornerstone asked me to do one of their infamous Mixtapes.
And I think that was one of the signs that I was moving into a different realm.
As it turns out, this mixtape wasn’t widely distributed to my normal fanbase. It was a “Best of” mix for that years music, and was really only sent to industry folk, you couldn’t buy it.
I recently dug it up, and I decided, it would be a good time to Revisit and reminisce over it with y’all my fans and critics. You can see how much time has passed, and what I was doing back then to prepare me for my life now…
Below is a Tracklist for my part of the cd. It starts with #33, as DJ Timbuktu did the 1st half of it. Mr Cee also was featured on it, thats why he’s on the cover. Back then, I didn’t get any cover love ;)
Its funny, the 1st track of the cd – well, it was Jay-z on it ;) Kind of prophetic don’t ya think? ;)

I got approached to do Soul Sessions quite awhile ago by Mitchell Bitanga aka Remitch.
Soulsessions is one of the still Existing DOPE parties in LA, ailment in the same vein as the historic rootdown and Do Over, where good music and good vibes is the top priority.
All in all I would say it was a good nite ;) A average normal crowd of 400 doubled to about 800 to party with me for my inaugural LA set on this last west coast run…
I hit them with a modified “Originals set” – being on a west coast “TOUR” – made me doing an “ALL VINYL SET difficult, and when I do a real Originals set, best believe its all vinyl. This time around I had to use some mp3’s so I wouldn’t get hit with the extra luggage / hurt my back syndrome.
It’s Been QUITE Some time since I’ve released a New Podcast, being on the road makes it very difficult to record.
Lucky for me and you and your cousin too, The soul Sessions guys were recording the set – So here it is for your listening pleasure –
LIVE FROM THE SOULSESSIONS – a little over an hour of my rocking for LA.
You will here some familiar stuff of course – A lot of these people want me to do stuff I do on my MIXTAPES, so there are some signature songs and transitions I drop.
BUT – I also do some stuff I’ve never done before (preview to the next “original” PERHAPS??? – shhhhh)
Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy it as much as the crowd in LA did .
Peace to The Soul Sessions crew – Mitch, Jay villinueva, Bernie, DJ Plann B, Inka one for rockin wit me – ANYONE ELSE I MISSED!
Peace to maricel sison for taking all the fine flicks! Click HERE to see more from the nite…

Well guys, we decided to give y’all in the twitterverse an opportunity to cop this SoCal Exclusive, but there isn’t much left so don’t dilly dally – Click here get your shopping on…
Just to remind y’all, a week ago I took a trip down to SUNNY San Diego – spanish for a whales vagina as we all know,
I signed some cds for this special collabo, met up with the folk Jay Huggins from 5 and a Dime and Bert Custodio who put together the dope artwork for the project, and of course was there to celebrate the event and Rock the Party for RHYTHM & RECREATION at Thin/Onyx.
A great time was had in the SD as always , getting to see Kuttin Kandi and enjoy the environment with Emily. Even the Hotel Room at the THE PEARL was crazy, with everyone having its own beta fish, and the personalization of a welcome letter to greet us when we got in – its all about the details…
The whole event was captured by the fine folk at MAHFIA.com.
They Also put together a quick interview to make sure y’all get the scoop on how this all came together…
Peep the Video for more background on the collaboration, and make <a href=”http://www.5andadime.com/shop_list.php?Brand_ID=neilarmstrong&Gender=All&Type=All&Status=All”sure to get yours BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!!

Well if you are a fan of my mixtapes it should.
Although I get a LOT of props for what I do, treatment I am nowhere near the innovator (although I do put my own twitst on an old favorite if I do say so myself ;))
I got a lot of my blending style from listening to Mixtapes that were ON ACTUAL CASSETTES – Ones in particular made by the Duo of G-Bo the Pro and Rei Double R.
i was influenced SO much by them , I actually gave them a shoutout on one of my earliest Mixtapes – Sweeet .
Sweeet . The 1st of Neil’s Lovey Dovey Mixtapes that have set a standard for good music to cupcake too.

Featuring exclusive footage of JAY-Z and John Mayer as they prepare for the September 11 benefit concert at MSG, NY-Z offers a rare glimpse into the life of native New Yorker Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter as he discusses his hometown and what it means for an artist to “arrive” with a performance at the world’s most famous arena.
