So, it's Thursday morning and I'm on the Northern-Line making my way to Waterloo Station to get the Eurostar to Paris for the Launch of the first MTV branded trainers.

I get there and everything seems to be running smoothly. My producer JB (Infamous after this years Gumball Rally) is already there sorting out the tickets. We even manage to get expressed to the front of the long line that has formed because our train was leaving in 10minutes and they close the gates 5minutes prior to leaving. However there's one problem…our camera man 'Blanco' is running late and looks like he's not gonna make it. Whatever! Just meant we had less to carry so we crack on (Blanco you only had yourself to blame Lol).

So we leave our camera man to get the next train with all the equipment but it's only leaving about 15minutes after us. Once our train is moving, it's time to snooze but not after taking serious pre-cautions against getting filmed or pictured with my mouth open whilst snoring (once bitten…).

Once in Paris, we drop off our stuff at the Hotel and then decide to go ride the Metro. How do you work this damn ticket machine? Don't they have Oysters over here?

Day soon turns in to night and so we get down to business. It's all about the Puma Launch party for the new Yo! MTV Raps trainers. We were definitely in the right place

This event was also a tribute to the movement of Yo! MTV Raps. The stuff MTV Legend is made of. All we had to do now was wait for the main event to arrive: Doug-E-Fresh and his infamous DJ, DJ Cash Money!

It didn't take them long to get up on stage and Rock the party. So, I decided get front row seats with some scary looking bird and party til the early mornin' break-a-dawnin'…or something.

Big up Puma, Doug-E-Fresh and the one and only MTV Base – Partying in Paris was Large!
