Roland NYC - 10.10.26

11/12/26

Saturday, September 10, 2026 ( Manhattan, NYC) - I’m not the biggest gear head, but one of the goals I set for myself this year going forward, was to become more proficient and knowledgeable in the various mediums I use. With making music being one of them, this was the perfect evening out.

Roland, one of the names synonymous with Hip Hop production, opened a new flagship space in NYC’s Meatpacking District. Thanks to one of the homies sending the invite thru, I was in the building!

The space is amazing! I anticipated the store being top notch, (it being in NYC, plus it being in the Meatpacking District) but the performance space was unexpected. And I don’t know why I did, with everything being an experience now, I was intrigued at what opportunities will arise in the city with this resource ( especially for the beat community).

While I was there, (as I didn’t stay for the whole event), I ran into an online friend for the 1st time in irl and caught a performance by Dibiase and Hailey Niswanger. I had an awesome night!

Thanks to my homie, Tony, for thinking of me, and Thank you Roland for the hospitality and the swag!
