Last night was crazy...I shot an event for Manhattan magazine and then went over to Highline Ballroom to check out Wale (an artist from DC that is about to take GoGo nationwide).
The evening was hosted by Hot 97 DJs Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg; Colin Munroe was the first act, followed by Kid Kudi (an artist from Ohio that was pretty dope), with Wale headlining and bringing up a ton of special guests.
Let's get started.
I knew something was up when I saw Freeway outside of the venue...
Homie from the WIRE.
Mark Ronson hit the Turntables for dope set of DJ Premier influenced music.
Wale Live performance: Pretty Dope. I normally talk shit about rappers that think they are going to put DC on the map, but for some reason I really liked the show. First things first...I was at a GoGo in NYC...people don't understand....in DC, GoGo music is bigger than hip hop, so to finally see somebody blend GoGo and hip hop in front of a packed crowd in NYC, was dope. He rocked out wit the UCB band and brought up a bunch of special guests...Uptown!!!
Surprise!!! - Freeway hit the stage, joined later by Young Chris (Chris and Neef).
The rock was in the building...another surprise in waiting...
Chrisette Michelle and Wale performed their song, "Rising up", from The Roots new album.
Pusha T (The Clipse) hit the stage going nuts...I mean OD!!!!
And to finish the show off, Wale brought out Ryan Leslie.
