Sucker Free Sundays in Raleigh
If you have been checking out my blog, then you definitely are familiar with Sucker Free Sundays at Shakedown Street in the heart of Raleigh. If not, it’s a dope weekly event that emcees from across the state come out to and showcase their talents. I went out there in November & it was bonkers. If you are an artist in the Cack, then you need to hit this event up.
With that being said, I was lucky enough to be hit up by A Robb from Eargasm Entertainment about designing some new promo material for them. So I came up with a couple different designs, and will be updating their info every week. So make sure you come back every week to find out which ones of your favorite emcees are performing every week. This week it’s Skip Luciano, Tuscon, Igwe Fogg, Phonetic, Loot Tenant, Rome Jeter, Drique London, Doc Verbz, Stranga the Great & Free Agent Jasun. & As always, the event will be deejayed by the legendary DJ Flash of the Justus League. Be there…
Hip Hop Events in the 919 Tonight…
If you are in the Raleigh-Durham area this evening, and you feel like you have nothing to do, well then you are utterly wrong. Not only is there one dope local event going on, but there is 2 dope hip hop events going on! Haha, here is the rundown…
First up is the Triangle’s bad guy, L.E.G.A.C.Y., performing alongside Sun Up, Son Down, Sleep Control, Garland Mason Band, and more. This show will actually be more of a mixed genre show with blends of hip hop and rock. Make sure you check out Sun Up, Son Down tho. It is the brainchild of former Plan B artist, Rivera with help from B-Wise formerly of Odd Numbers. They pack a lotta punch in their set.
If it’s not Raleigh tonight, then it’s gotta be Chapel Hill, as some of the hottest acts the Triangle have to offer square off in this hip hop extravanganza. See Tuscon, Lazurus, Drique London, Ease, SkyBlew, Azon Blaze and others tonight at the Library(in case, you couldn’t find it on the flyer/ahem cough cough, holla at me for your graphic design. haha).
Both shows are going to eb a great time with even better music, so make sure you hit one of them up tonight…
