THE RISING: Masses United Thru Art
With the tourist fueled economy of South Florida there is extreme competition between night clubs/ venues to book the biggest industry names they can afford in order to attract as many people as possible. This is the only way they are able to try and stay ahead of their competing neighbors. Unfortunately this lends itself to a local scene that shuns the future rising talents we have right here in our own back yard. There is no place that consistently provides a stage for our local, up and coming artists to be seen or heard. We plan to change all of that by bringing you “The Rising”, a place where everyone can go, and local artists can shine. There is currently a renaissance like movement happening in the hip hop community. We have the chance to put our local talent at the forefront of that, all it takes is a little support from anyone who enjoys live music…Each event will provide a group of 3 to 4 MC’s the chance to perform for their peers and let people hear and see them work their magic. The first show is Wednesday July 28th. Performing live will be Saheed, Murph, LMS, and Ghostwridah, all who are true masters of their craft. On top of these performers we also have two of the most talented DJ’s South Florida has to offer: DJ Aliyo and DJ K-Razor. “The Rising” will also be featuring a different artist (photographers, graf artists, etc) each time we come together. Hialeah’s own DERICK G will be showing off his artwork the first night as he will be producing a site specific photography installation at Transit Lounge… (Click here to see Derick G’s art)
In addition there are a number of sponsors who will be providing giveaways. Shoe Gallery will be offering a pair of exclusive kicks to be raffled off during the show, Scratch Academy (DJ academy) will be offering free DJ lessons, Last Rights will be giving away Tshirts and that’s not all! Enough said, I think it’s safe to say you can’t afford to miss this show!
