mETHODOLOGY

About Me


The monthly jam of community, consciousness & culture in urban LA.
Based in inner-city Los Angeles, "mETHODOLOGY" brings together positive people, good food & drinks, and a unique mix of music by some of LA's top selektahs and hip-hop artists.
All profits from every "mETHODOLOGY" go to community organizing efforts in the local neighborhood of Chinatown and throughout urban Los Angeles. To date, we've raised over $15,000 for community organizations.
