11/26/11 was EPIC in my opinion. I was granted the opportunity to share the stage with some of Philly’s talented independent artists. I remember when the genius aka @BillyABSTRACT first thought of the idea of putting the concert together. Our aim is to create a dynamic atmosphere giving artists a chance to perform for an audience they may never have attracted before. I think Drake says it best,  “them hipsters gone have to get along with them hood n(words)”. Forgive me, I may have paraphrased a bit, but you get the point.  Either way I grabbed/stole/borrowed a few of the photos provided by Curran J of www.KingsRuleTogether.com and still waiting for video footage provided by Cherese “The Magnificent”. All in All  … I would say the event was a success. To many artists to name individually but I’m sure you may see some familiar faces below.

“Let me put my cape on” … my words before the infamous DJ battle this past weekend at #NEWtrition. I was privileged to have a lot of people who have supported me as I progress present with me. Every now and then I may hear someone shout out my tagline, which is always a beautiful thing. Taking that simple tagline, sample or what have you and making it visible on a shirt meant everything in that moment. It was a spur of the moment idea and with the help of my brother J.Payne ( @MrCEO_JLP ) I was able to pull off the gutsy move. At this moment I’m still toying with the idea of producing more on T’s, Crewnecks, and hoodies …. what do you think ???
