Mile 24 Copenhagen marathon with my main man @simonbfreeman in the background. Simon is one of the fastest distance runners I know and shut down the london marathon last month with a 2.37 and placed 105 out of 36,000 runners but took time to pace me through yesterday to a new PB and finally a sub 4 marathon. So many times I wanted to give up the ghost but he kept on pushing and encouraging me to the finish line. Real friends see things in you that you can not see and encourage you to explore your potential. Fake friends sit on your shoulders and hold you down in case you wake up and reach for the sun. Thanks to Simon for showing me the light and @vestsigne for the flick. Two gun fingers to the sky racing towards the finish line #rdc #rundemcrew #bridgethegap #friendship #run #marathon

I used to travel around the world with a record box, arrive in the dead of the night and leave for the next city in the early morning never meeting anyone other than promoters and record dealers. It can be a lonely life chasing your fellow Dj friends around the world. Rocking a party for thousands of people and then sitting in your hotel room alone watching crap TV until the cab arrives to take you to the airport. Now I travel the world with my running shoes and a smile. Over the last year I’ve been blessed to meet some incredible people from all walks of life through the Bridge The Gap movement. Props to @mikesaes for sparking the convo that birthed the movement, @nbrorunning for being the perfect hosts and all international crews who reached for the Copenhagen marathon. Catch you soon people. #bridgethegap #rundemcrew #rdc #crewlove #travel #copenhagen #run #marathon

“Why were you homeless?”
“It just got to a point where my mom couldn’t maintain anymore. The sad part was that it was during high school. So I had to keep it a secret. Cause, you know, it’s high school.”
Ready Me Ready. This weekend we go in again for the 26.2 mile adventure known as the Copenhagen Marathon with my @nbrorunning and #bridgethegap family. Thanks to @chopbot and his magic mind for the image. Consider race day a celebration of how far you have come since you first put on the shoes and let the smiles carry you to the finish line. #marathon #rdc #rundemcrew #bridgethegap #mile21 #26.2 #copenhagen #typography #design #graphics #running

Hello All:
Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline. I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music… but the message is still there. In light of…
When people look at Run Dem and the vast amount of people in the crew they often forget how we started. People always ask me how to start a crew and I say it’s easy. Pick time, pick place and invite a handful of people and away you go. If you are passionate about the idea then lead from the front and let your energy be infectious. This is the original crew on our very first run taken about 5 yrs ago in Victoria Park. From left to right myself, label manager @markle875, actor and director Leo,creative consultant Andrew Missingham , Dj and producer @zzzarate and photographer @andrewcotterill. Like the best parties it was important for me to begin the idea with a diverse group of people. Andrew was the only runner in the group. In those days we used to meet in Leo’s kitchen. We’d run 2 miles slowly and then go for food and it became our Friday night ritual before going to Dj and party down. You can’t build movements without strong foundations and I’ll always be indebted to these five gentlemen for trusting me enough to follow on this adventure. Things you believe in should be nurtured and it’s always best to take the long road for long term success. Rather than procrastination it’s best to get out there and try it , it might not work straight away and it may require tweaking but if it remains as another idea in a notebook you’ll never ever know if it works.As the lyric goes ‘Don’t talk about it, be about it ’ Running changed my life and run dem has definitely had an impact on the lives of many people across the globe. Respects where respect is due. To the original 5 I salute you. #throwbackthursday #tbt #rdc #bridgethegap #rundemcrew #mile21 #community #foundations
Things I Now Know Part 3….There is no finish line. Keep foot on accelerator and keep on pushing the boundaries. Learn from those who know more than you and listen to those who know less. Never rest on past achievements and keep on seeking the new. Be kind, be honest and be fair, radiate the light you wish to receive, find rainbows in the darkness and sunshine in the night. Read, digest and document. Respect those who went before you and keep the door open for those who follow behind. Respect the artefacts in the archive of life. Make everyday a celebration of how far you have come and remember to tell yourself how great you are…. I could go on but hopefully you get the idea, if we start treating and thinking about ourselves in a more positive light then collectively as a community we will be better. Stepped over this sign at the entrance of Nike Hq and it made me think. Trying to keep the spirits high and the positivity flowing for the people dem. #bridgethegap #rdc #rundemcrew #launch2020 #mile21 #nike #nikebetterworld #sustainability #innovation #community #campuslife
