MegaDon Concert At The Grog Shop

Leave a reply

MegaDon got blessed to open up for one of my favorite artists, Project Pat, at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Hts, OH!!

I wrote a review for Cleveland, Ohio artist MegaDon a while back for his Edgewater Ep, so when he told the station about an upcoming show for which he would be opening up for Project Pat, I totally could not pass up the oppertunity!

The concert was held at the legendary Grog Shop in the historic Coventry Village area located in the suburb of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Since this was my very first time attending a show at the Grog Shop, I was very excited, and could not wait to turn up!

Prior to MegaDon coming to the stage, there was a group of young men who had “RIP XXX” on they shirts. A very cool dance group, they literally held the crowd’s attention…peep the video below!

After the artists with the “RIP XXX” left the stage, it was time for MegaDon to enter! I totally felt his energy mixed with a little bit of excitement and probably a little bit of nervousness, with an overall stage presence that demanded attention. Some of the songs MegaDon performed were from the Edgewater Ep. You could tell the crowd was feeling it by the wave of hands in the air vibing to the music.

Once his set was over, MegaDon shouted out his family who came to support, 216 The Beat radio station, Cream, the station owner and even me, Mz. Slim Goody! I admit it felt good to finally support one of the artists who supports the station & puts on for my City of Cleveland!!!

For more of MegaDon’s performance check out the video below!

FYI! Excuse my so called video editing LMAO

$am Supreme The MISS:Tape Album Release Party

Written by P.S. Rambo

If you can make it in Cleveland, you can make it anywhere. I remember hearing that phrase as a kid and not understanding the meaning of it. In a city where everybody has a song to sing and a chip on their shoulder, it seems almost impossible to find genuine comradery. That’s the first thing I thought as I sat in the back corner of The Winchester Music Tavern, observing the crowd before approaching the tiny superstar that is $am Supreme. I could tell from her smile and hand shake that she had something to say, a message to tell. As the showcase started, and she introduced the first act, there was a child like glee in her voice. From my experiences, a lot of artist, especially new artists don’t want to admit their fandom for a fellow artist. So, it was a relief to see how every artist cheered on the next. Each had a relationship that you could tell ran deep. Famyne Red led the pack, giving an energetic performance that left me searching for him on Instagram to make sure I could get more later. Next up was MellowXAckt, performing songs of his latest release, The Wind EP. Tribe Untitled, a local group consisting of 6 over the top lyricists that had more energy that I think I’ve been able to muster up in years.

Finally, it was time for the reason we all came together, Sam supreme herself. From the first song on her set list, the rage was real. Her producer, Dijital, soon graced the stage, keeping the energy in the building at a constant high. Heading banging and dancing across the stage playful, Sam proved to be a true performer, not missing a beat. On more intimate tracks, she sat, speaking her truths so profoundly, it couldn’t be denied. You would’ve expected on a night as big as this for an artist to want the spotlight to themselves, but that wasn’t the case at all. At one point she even invited someone from the crowd to freestyle. If tonight is any look into the future, I must say that is it bright for the female powerhouse that is $am Supreme. Spirits tell all, and hers speaks of a humility and hunger that is unmatched. The MISS:tape is available on all digital platforms.

JStar The Dreamer – If Ifs (Official Video)

Leave a reply

The lyrically gifted J Star of rhyme and Reason dropped his new visual for the single

“If Ifs”.  Shot by Nic Conner Images, the video hilariously, reflects the lyrics perfectly!

The song is about a young man starting out in life, trying to find his way. As he is introduced to adulthood, he ends up letting the “what ifs” alter his life’s decisions regarding what he wants to do. He assumes he has all of the time in the world to right his wrongs but before long, half of his life has passed him by due to complacency. As he gets older and looks back, he realizes that he hasn’t done anything and now he has to deal with the regrets and the shoulda, coulda woulda’s.

Who vandalized Prince tribute?

Leave a reply

If you’re from Cleveland you’re aware of our ‘Supreme’ store better known as, ilthy.

Glen Infante has silently contributed to the Culture for the past 10 plus years. You’ve seen and admired his work and have no idea who he is.

The famous brightly colored paintings, T’s and murals of celebrities eating sprinkle covered donuts. Cavaliers T-Shirts with the team pictured as caricatures. The infamous easter egg colored depiction of Jesus. Countless in-store events and cool ass marketing photos and videos.

If you’ve attended a Cavaliers game, driven past the arena or driven around Cleveland…particularly the Westside, you’ve more than likely have seen his work. Glen has been procured several times to beauty the grey Cleveland landscape with his awesome murals.

One of those murals being a tribute to Prince. It was recently vandalized. Nonetheless, Glen’s loyalty to his city and dedication to his work had him repainting the defacement for hours.

Thanks Glen for your contributions to the Culture of our city!

Cavaliers Trade Kyrie Irvin to Boston

Leave a reply

IMG_20170822_201129_641

The Boston Celtics have acquired All-Star point guard #KyrieIrving from the Cleveland Cavaliers for point guard #IsaiahThomas, forward #JaeCrowder, center #AnteZizic and Brooklyn’s 2018 unprotected first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

Thomas had been bracing for the possibility of a trade on Tuesday, league sources told ESPN.

Irving, 25, requested a trade during a July meeting with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Irving has said that he wants to play in a situation where he can be more of a focal point and that he no longer wants to play alongside #LeBronJames, sources said.
Irving has three years and $60 million left on his contract, but he can opt out of the final year before the 2019-20 season.

Thomas has spent the offseason recovering from a right hip injury. He led the Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists over 33.8 minutes per game during the regular season.

Thomas missed the final three games of the Eastern Conference finals with the hip injury and opted not to have surgery. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Monday that he was not sure Thomas would be ready for the start of training camp, but that further medical tests in September would determine that timeline.

Thomas, 28, will become a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June. Thomas has said he believes he’s worthy of a maximum contract.

Irving was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 Draft. Thomas was the last.

The trade will make for an interesting opener for both teams. The #Celtics and #Cavaliers open the season in #Cleveland on Oct. 17.
