After attending the Diplo event at Commonwealth DC a few weeks ago, Van and I decided to head out to Florida Avenue early last night for the Clipse in store appearance for the drop of Play Cloths and their new mixtape. Per usual, parking was challenging in Adams Morgan. However, we were able to find a decent spot, one block away from the shops.
We arrived a little after eight and already, there was a line forming outside of Commonwealth. The Commonwealth crew were posted at the door to control the crowd. It was 40 degrees outside, yet everyone remained calm and cool.
It was a huge turn out. The Washington Post featured an article about Commonwealth, Stussy and For the Greater Good in the Arts & Living Section on Monday. Word on the streets must’ve traveled fast because it was crowded. The fashionistas, sneaker heads, skaters, music fanatics and everyone else in between were in attendance.
As the night continued, Pusha-T (one half of the Clipse) appeared. He was bombarded with photos and autographs. I spotted Wale at the end of the night as well. The crowd was jamming to Road To Till The Casket Drops and some of the Clipse’s older tracks. The music was bumpin and grindin, the drinks were flowing and the vibe was good last night.
Big ups to the homies at Commonwealth for throwing another great event!

Drinks + Good Vibes = Good Times
It was dude infested but there were some ladies at the event as well.
We grabbed sushi at Saki after the event and rolled out to Fly with Roland, Larry and Omar. I’m exhausted from last night.
Whoever said DC was boring, needs to re-evaluate that statement. There’s clearly something going on in the nation’s capital and it’s an exciting time to be here.
