EVENT: Droppin' Knowledge feat. Famous, Lord Quest & More (Friday, November 5th)


Promoters take note. Start at a small location. Grind. Move to a bigger location when your night organically grows and can no longer fit in the place where you started. Keep grinding. This is the story thus far of my celebrity crush, Tika Simone (hi Bambi, hi Andreena), and her Intimate & Interactive nights. This week’s event should be completely out of control as Trixx is doing a set and there’s an official Tika Simone roast taking place to celebrate her birthday (LMAO).
Anyways, take note of the new location! See you Friday!

Was talking a couple posts back about urban audiences getting more accustomed to live show culture and this is definitely a show that will not disappoint.
And for artists that need to see where the bar is for a sick live show, you might want to check this out too!
Vote for “Place Called Grace” on The MCC!

It’s remarkable how distracted we can get in this technologically advanced world. So every now and then we need to take a step back and take in what the world has to offer. Sometimes you just have to keep it simple. Remove the sound effects, turn down the bass and just Sit With Me!RnB • Neo Soul • Electro Soul
An intimate, theatrical and comical night w/ O’Sound, Shi Wisdom, Ron Dias, Brendan Philip & a surprise guest.

SIDEBAR:
Very interested to see what Wolf and the crew bring to the table with this concept show. Lord knows the city’s in need of a model that gets the urban audience to embrace the culture of going to live shows. By that I mean the urban audience should connect with going to see artists perform the way the indie crowd just naturally goes to pubs every week to see new bands perform. Normal scene.

I’m so proud of my celebrity crush. I&I continues this Friday (week 14 baby)!!!
