If you’re a classic hip hop head and you weren’t at this show, you missed out on an amazing combination of East Coast and West Coast heavyweights! Denver’s Stay Tuned set things off with a hard hitting set, followed by Def I who took things up another notch. As the house started to fill out, Brooklyn’s legendary MC Masta Ace took the stage with veteran prowess. Performing tracks from various parts of his lengthy career, he reminded fans why he’s one of the most respected rappers in the game. He ran through all of his classics including “Sittin’ on Chrome,” “Beautiful,” and had fans participating in a tribute to his late, great mentor Biz Markie before closing out his strong set.
After a brief intermission and fashion show from Denver/Los Angeles based designer Infatué, it was time for the main event. Slimkid3, Imani, and Fatlip took the stage backed by the West Coast legend DJ Cell on the decks. They wasted no time getting into the hits, with impeccable performances of “Drop,” “Runnin’,” “Pack The Pipe,” among many other fan favorite records. These guys know how to have fun! Their dance skills are as strong as ever, and thier contagious energy spread throughout the entire room. They closed out the night with their timeless classic, “Passin’ Me By,” with adoring fans singing along to every word.
