The PRO's


PROTON has taken the underground Hip-Hop scene by storm, while gaining international notoriety. They're often compared to Cool Kids & OutKast but they have a style all their own. PROTON is a rap duo with a unique sound. Their concept music is light-hearted and refreshing with a touch of consciousness. 

They hosted a show with Jaspects this past Thursday at Smith's Old Bar. Also performing was Amanda Diva, Yella Wolf, Anthony David, Jessica Tonder and others. I enjoyed the show, it was a really good look. 

This unique duo will always hold a special place in my heart. Larry & Thomas stay true to your vision and don't let newcomers and bandwagon ridders deter you from your game plan. 

IF you haven't heard of PROTON, you betta ask somebody!

Sugar...full of Surprises


Every Tuesday @ Sugarhill there's a Jam Session for artist to come through and do their thing. It's hosted by the funky incomparable Joi.
There is always a surprise treat. One Tuesday I went and John Legend performed 5 songs. This past Tuesday it was [Raphael Saadiq]. I got there right at the end of his set but it was great meeting him backstage. Now he's a pioneer in this thang. I know ya'll remember [Tony! Toni! Tone!] and their hit "It Never Rains in Southern Cali" or "Lay Your Head on My Pillow."  
Then Raphael started the group Lucy Pearl. That album was jammin! He has worked with several artists. He's an awesome producer, musician and writer.
Also in the building Tuesday was [Candie of Excape]. For those that don't know, she is a talented songwriter as well. Did you know she wrote "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child. Candie got on stage and did her thing. I enjoyed her rendition of "I'm going down". 
It was another sweet night at Sugarhill. Shout out to Eva Kennedy, Dawn McClain, Metropolis & Malachi, ya'll put it down Tuesday!

Case of the MonDaYs


This past monday after my rehearsal with Gritz & JellyButter I went by [Kat's Cafe].  My homie Maurice Sims of 27 Wayz Entertainment hosts a comedy event there every Monday.

I know Mondays can be rough, so come out and laugh @ The Comedy Depot, each and every Monday.

When I went, they were roasting the host and it was so funny!!! I recommend you check it out.
