THURSDAY 16th FEBRUARY 2006
Fly to Houston, USA
Arrive in Houston with Betsie. Money Train (the promoter) picks us up in a Hummer limo with all the freestyle rappers from Detroit! Crazy ride to the hotel. We end up in a 15 car pile up car crash !! No major injuries, just a bit of whip lash. Can't leave the scene for two hours, as the police arrive. Damn. Finally hit the hotel, and I'm off to bed : been travelling now for fifteen hours !! Night x
Oh, I forgot to say, Chris Brown was on my flight from London!
Had some crazy nightmares about my eyes. Woke up at 5am really hungry! Can't go back to sleep. Plus I don't like sleeping alone in this big room. Keep thinking someone's going to come in : it must be my nightmares, I don't normally mind being alone.

FRIDAY 17th FEBRUARY 2006
Houston, USA
It's mad here, it's just full of men. Damd, my girl friends would have loved it. Everyone is in town! Jay Z, Ludacris, P Diddy, Fat Joe, Russel Simons, Jamie Foxx, Juelz Santana etc etc. And I just got a call from my mate Shawn from New York : Shade45 (Eminem's radio station) are in town so we're gonna meet up later!
Went shopping with Betsie. Got some hot bags and a dog collar for Bear (my new husky). I love shopping here! But the mall is soooo big.
Going to the sound check at 6pm. Now starting to feel the jet lag, but can't sleep - too much to do !!

SATURDAY 18th FEBRUARY 2006
NBA All Star Weekend MC Battle @
Club AI, Houston, Texas, USA

Meet Jackie in reception at 9:30am, yes 9:30am. Damn. Been up since 8am. Didn't get to bed 'til 4am, so real tired. We head straight to Star Bucks!!! I have three large soya lattes and then feel better. Arrive at the Houston Grand Plaza for the sound check, but the decks aren't up yet, so I get working on the beats I'm going to use for the freestylers. Fat Joe is going to be performing today live, and I'm so glad I'm DJing for him : I love Fat Joe.
After the sound check, Fat Joe's DJ says he's going to rap with him, so I play with them on stage. Yeah, I've played for loads of MCs, but Fat Joe is one of my favourites, so I loved it !! Hey, can't wait to see you next week in London : we will have fun !!!
Afterwards, I interviewed Fat Joe for the TV show that was being filmed, and then played for about 90 minutes before the freestyle began. T. K. from G Unit Comedy was hosting it - he's funny !! Met his lovely wife in the toilet too - she is so nice. Then the freestylers begin their stuff. We had loads of heats !! Not gonna tell you too much - you'll have to buy the DVD "Hip Hip Battle Detroit vs Houston" to see what happens. We had loads of hot judges, like MC Light (you're so nice!), Jadakis, and Freeway. It was really great to meet you all.
Did a quick interview, but I'm the only DJ, so damn no time to even eat. It's 6pm now and Young Jeezy is on stage : he's hot !!! Great time, but a long long day.
7:30ish and I'm done !! So, after a few pictures for the show me and Betsie go back to out hotel. Keetria (my agent from the US) has sent her friend down to take me out, but I can barely move. I just fall asleep. I really wanted to go to the NBA party, but my body won't let me. Night. The phone's going off the hook now !! But damn, my hotel is full of men. Rappers etc. So much noise outside my room, but still I manage to sleep.

SUNDAY19th FEBRUARY 2006
Houston, USA
OK, it's back to the mall. They even have an ice rink in here - this mall is great. I find a really cool dog shop that sells dog shoes etc. I buy Bubbles a chain. Then we go to lunch and shop 'til about six. Then back to the hotel. I pack and Betsie goes out for dinner with Money Train. I'm still so tired I decide to watch the NBA game in my room in bed.
Later that night, I see DJ Blaze for a while, then Betsie gets drunk and lap dances my wall. Oh, and I fall asleep again. I talk to my friends from Shade45 as they're playing, but I'm too tired to go. Oh, Jay, the guys told me what you said : oh, you know that's not true - come on now !!!
Anyway, nice to meet all of you. See you again, I'm sure.
