Review: Performance at the #COAST2COAST Industry Mixer | #DMV Edition

Hey everybody here's my review of my performance at the Coast 2 Coast DMV Mixer. The event was cool. I enjoyed a good amount of the acts and the DJ Battle was live. My performance was good but I've done better. The crowd had begun to get bored with the show and when I looked out in the crowd and noticed that the crowd wasn't reacting to me like I wanted to I ended up psyching myself out. None the less it was still a good performance. Unfortunately I didn't win but big ups to the winners from last night.

Now the event venue was a decent sized performance venue and Coast 2 Coast set the place really nice with a projector at stage right showing the order of the performers and a projector at stage left showcasing a live twitter feed of all tweets with #COAST2COAST in them. It was pretty cool seeing the event attendees' tweets appear live on the projector.

Now the event itself was a bit oversold. Upon being chosen for the event they send you an email and included in the event is a YouTube link to a video of the Coast 2 Coast Philly Mixer where Freeway and a few of his artist came and performed. The video gives you the impression that these mixers are extremely live events but I get the feeling that specific mixer was the only one that was as big of an event as the video showed.

The one good thing about this event is that it taught me a few things. I wanted to burn some copies of my mixtape and get the artwork printed off and put in the case to hand out during the event but the trip itself broke my bank. The show cost me $350 to participate in plus the gas money and food expenses brought this total trip to $423.67. This taught me to stockpile things like CDs, business cards(which I never thought to use), flyers, etc. for events like this.

Upon the ending of the event they emailed us the results of the judges voting. Here are my results

After reading this I can agree with all of the scores except the marketability scores. It's been 3 years since I debuted that song at the 2009 Ape-ollo Talent show hosted by the Beta Gamma chapter of Alpha Phi alpha Fraternity, Inc. and people still request for me to perform this song to this day. I knew my stage presence wasn't the best, maybe not as bad as they judged, but that was my fault. That's it for this review. A reminder that I'm performing a Kingdom on June 29, 2012. Hmu for tickets, which are only $10.

Performing for Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes

Hey everybody. I received the GREATEST news ever yesterday. I have been chosen to perform at the Coast 2 Coast DMV Mixer next weekend and it's all thanks to this song.

I have never been so excited, scared, anxious and confused at one time. It all happened so fast especially since I had doubted I would get selected and had completely forgot I submitted songs for this. I'm just hoping and praying God gives me the strength, confidence and power to perform to the best of my abilities.

Here's a screenshot of the email to prove it.

A Family Affair: Cousinly Love

My cousin Conci$e(Concise804) and I along with fellow artist Baby Stackz(@BabystackzBatch), Monty and Big Ass Salt had a studio session. I wasn't too happy about the recording session itself but I am happy about the final product of that session. Here's the newest track by my cousin Conci$e, Do It ft T-Money, Baby Stacks, Monty and Big Ass Salt.

Review: T-Money @ Shotz 5/23/90

I know this is long overdue but I wasn't sure to even post a review since.......it never happened. Something happened and the event was cancelled. Unfortunately I had no knowledge of this so I came to Shotz ready to shut it and get my drink on. To my surprise there was nobody there but DJ Swirv from 92.1 and the bartender. Tried to wait it out like maybe the people were late but nobody ever came and to top it off the drink specials ended at 9. I still ended up enjoying my birthday and I appreciate everybody who came out.
