Peep My Feet, Bro

A few weeks ago, Reef embarked on a 440-mile adven­ture that lasted an entire week­end. It began on a Sat­ur­day after­noon as he made his way to an event called “Peep My Feet” in Rich­mond, VA. It was the inau­gural open­ing for the mini con­ven­tion of sorts, a place where you could buy, trade and even sell footwear along with vend­ing from local, inde­pen­dent or estab­lished cloth­ing and acces­sory brands. He met old friends and made new ones, which is always good. The real rea­son we were atten­dance was to sup­port our brother com­pany, BluEm­pire Enter­tain­ment, the Mar­ket­ing and Man­age­ment entity who actu­ally spon­sored the event. In all, Reef con­nected with many dif­fer­ent peo­ple and brands that hope­fully, you will see some col­lab­o­ra­tions with in the com­ing months through the brand or with our events. Stay tuned!

Baked Goods, Cuzzo…

After that, it was off to DC to check out a pri­vate show in Adams Mor­gan called Baked Goods. Our good friend, whit­neyAB­STRAKT was the DJ and sent us the invite and with a few of our peers were on the bill, it was def­i­nitely an event worth attend­ing. The setlist included Nicos Gun, JFK , M1platoon, Kali Uchis and Meche Kor­rect. It was in an apart­ment that was con­verted into an art stu­dio so as you could imag­ine it was a lovely envi­ron­ment to meet and net­work with peo­ple. In my opin­ion, these type of events are the best to attend. Every­one killed their set and the event as a whole was an plea­sur­able experience.

Enter the Broc­coli City!

The con­clu­sion to the week­end was the Broc­coli City Earth Day Fes­ti­val at the Half-Street Fair­grounds right out­side the Nation­als ball­park in South­east DC. This fes­ti­val proved to be a unique expe­ri­ence for the team, it started off with link­ing up with a good friend of ours and musi­cian, Young Scolla. He had an inter­view with Philly’s hip-hop blog HipHopSince1987 for their new project 30 for Thirty. After fin­ish­ing up with that we ran into Phil Ade who was also on the bill for the fes­ti­val. We expe­ri­enced a bit of tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties try­ing to get into the fes­ti­val but it even­tu­ally all worked out and we and bee-lined to the food trucks which hap­pened to be one of the best things the fes­ti­val had to offer beside the music. The Broc­coli City Fes­ti­val was all about Earth Day and the aware­ness of tak­ing care of where we live. The high­light of the day was being able to get up to the stage and take some pretty nice pic­tures which you will see below.
