I was wondering why there were a bunch of helicopters above my apartment last night and turns out it was for something that was going on in Kensington, which is typically the case. This time though it wasn’t for a crime. It was Kensington rapper Skrilla and streamer N3on linking up for a stream that shut down that section of the city. That last sentence just pissed off so many of our Facebook commenters:

If you don’t know who Skrilla is, and I assume the majority of you reading this don’t, he’s the hottest rapper in the city of Philadelphia right now. He lives in Kensington, reps Kensington as the face of Zombieland in his music videos, and he’s into voodoo. He’s blown up in the last year and his song Doot Doot (6 7) is going viral on the Internet currently. Put all that stuff together and you get hundreds of people flocking to your meet up to shut down Kensington just to catch a glimpse of you.

It even made the news!

Something so funny to me about a news anchor grinding for 10 years to get to a major market and they’re reporting on two guys named Skrilla and N3on at an Internet meetup in Kensington. That’s why you take on that crippling debt of J School folks!

It looks like it was a great time had by all.


Just normal every day things I think would happen if I ever went into Kensington at night. They raced crackheads:

Someone offered N3on percs, which I feel like is how you say hi in Kensington. Some people ask if you want anything to drink when you come over. In Kensington they ask if you want pills:

N3on had a security guard with him carrying an AK-47 with him. Which would look out of place, but there are security guards carrying AK-47s at gas stations in Fairmount now so this is business as usual:

There was more until the cops shut it down and everyone went on their way. Compared to the shit that usually happens in Kensington you gotta admit this is the best case scenario for this type of thing:

Do you want to learn more about Skrilla and Zombieland after reading this? Of course you do! So here’s an awesome documentary from Brandon Buckingham where he spent a night in Zombieland with Skrilla:
