It is always a pleasure when we here at Def Jux get exposed to YOUR talents every once in while. At last Wednesday's Chin Chin show we had the opportunity to get to see photographer and music writer Damien Neva in action. His photos were so great that we wanted to share them with all of you.  (To contact Damien, to see more of his Work)

Its been a great week for us over here at Def Jux.

Come through tonight and get a glimpse of Brooklyn's finest. Chin Chin will be tearing up Max Fish on the lower east side tonight (best reached by the F train to 2nd avenue) from 6-9. The show is free and so are the PBRs but space is limited. Follow your gut instinct on this one, and maybe try to get there a little early.
