"Keep it Classic" - Wednesday Nights at Inferno (Pt. 1)

Waz Hannenin?

Just got in about 20 minutes ago from "Keep it Classic," a weekly event at Inferno that showcases up-and-coming talent, mainly indie artists, in the area. All in all, a decent night. There were just over a handful of performances tonight despite the thin crowd. Phene stood out...EASILY the best performer of the night. In my opinion he's a cut above the rest, no disrespect to the other artists. According to Steve, I'm the new jinx for all the events we attend (the ladies where everywhere but there tonight). No ratings or anything, but I'll comment on what I found to be funny or interesting based on pictures taken (Shouts to L)

...No particular order btw...


Hardest flow of the night on that acapella...



Apparently, these guys have a rather strange diet...in their minds, vagina and frozen milk desserts are one in the same. The craziest part is that this was their ONLY selection, despite there being no more than 20 women in the building. What if pro-art were on an A&R level?...smh



I'm still dosing off from this guy. Vocals got better as he went along and it may have been tough for him with the crowd soooo disengaged (talking, texting, etc).He claimed that his selections were neo-soul....:-\....word?




Hybrid kinda artist...think a thugged-out Drake with braids and not a lite-brite. Second song was kinda catchy...all in all though....meh




Don't know the DJ's name, but he did a nice job. Good mixing and blending of classic hip-hop tracks of the 90s. His mix of "Hot Thing" by Kwali >>>>>>>




Detroit cat that recently moved down here. Funny, based on his style, I couldn't tell...but off-that. Overall pretty nice performance and his second track was pretty catchy. Radio-ready. I'm not nearly as harsh as L though..."I was kinda disappointed...him being from Detroit and all"





These guys were cool. The only things noteworthy really had nothing to do with their performances (or lack thereof).
1. Dude with the LA fitted had some chick there with him....can anybody say owwwwwwwwwww! (Steve: "Brah, if she walk past me ONE mo time!")
2. Said dude with fitted refused to pull up his pants...c'mon son! NOBODY wants to see that shit!





Phene did his this thing...as usual. The entire crowd seemed to be into his performances. Can't wait for the video shoots in PA!

Overall an enjoyable, but forgettable night of performances. Hopefully next time it will be a much better set and better crowd as well. Shouts to all the artists and I hope they all keep doing their thing. E, signin out...
