NWSO’s Blog & Birthday Blowout in NYC Tonight!!!
If you’ve been paying attention to the message I’ve included at the end of each post for the past week and change, you’ll know what today is. Yes, the official NakedWithSocksOn.com relaunch party is on and popping tonight. In conjunction with Big Ced of The Industry Co-Sign, yours truly will be celebrating three milestones [...]
She Won't Spend the Night
There was this girl named Raquel who I dated for a while. I was digging her and the feeling was mutual, so the relationship eventually turned physical. Everything was fine—great actually—in that department, but on our first night together I discovered one of Raquel’s quirks. After we did the deed, she announced that she was [...]
Inauguration Regrets (Why I Didn’t Go)
Chances are if you’ve asked me if I was attending the inauguration over the past few days you’ve already heard my reply, a resounding, “Hell, nah!” It’s not that I’m not excited or don’t recognize the significance of this moment, I’m just not too big on crowds.

The Day Biggie Died (Rest in Peace/Live in War)
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you know that Notorious, the long awaited Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace biopic, is finally in theatres. Since I spoke on the film way back when in my “Sunday Movie Madness” when the trailer first dropped, I decided not to retread the same [...]
We’re Divorced So Gimme My Kidney Back
Shout out to my moms for putting me on to this crazy story. Back in 1990, Dr. Richard Batista, 49, married his wife Dawnell, 44. The Long Island, NY couple lived in marital bliss for years and in 2001, Dr. Batista even went so far as to donate his kidney to his ill wife. In [...]
