SOB’s has always been a place where legendary stuff goes down. Music is an important part of SOB’s and when you think of that place, you think of epic events. The “ReBirth of Hip Hop Show” sponsored by LD Entertainment did not disappoint. Power 105’s own Cherry Martinez and Blogzilla (Global Grind) were holding the audience down in between acts. The line-up was heavy, boasting underground artists soon to be featured on MTVJams (a-hem *clears throat* Fred the Godson), it was a day for movements and progress. Smokes (from Wisconsin), G Swagger, Catalyst, Quesfire, Mr. G.A.T., Sinsay, Mysonne, Serius Jones, Tone Trump (with a special freestlye from Murda Mook) and Fred the Godson were all responsible for knocking down the stage that night.

LD Entertainment is sitting on a lot of projects to be heard. Sinsay’s “The Transition” is a certified banger. Due out this month, I already have my copy so I will be sharing. Fellow Bronx Noisemakers Mr. G.A.T., Quesfire, Fred the Godson and Mysonne all represented their borough well, blessin’ the stage and executing their performances with precision. Queens was well represented with F.C.E. artist G Swagg, who can spit fire with or without a beat. Smokes started the show with crazy energy. He had a great show presence but, New York is a tough crowd. It is always a blessing to hear good music coupled with talent. My ears appreciate and look forward to every project that these artists put out.

Today is Father’s Day and on behalf of my team, I would like to wish all the Fathers a Happy Father’s Day!!! There is nothing like seeing a man with his child/children but there is something about seeing a man with his daughter that makes my heart melt. I am a Daddy’s girl myself. And even though he is hundreds of miles away, he still makes me feel like a princess.
In the music industry, family and children are considered “taboo”. For some reason or another, a lot of men in the industry hide the fact that they are family men to protect their “image”. (That is a blog for another day). Anyway, @Quesfire has shown me 2 sides to his talent. I’ve seen him rip the stage at shows and then there’s this.
He took the time with his daughter Lil T to collaborate on her first track “Lil Momma” which talks about the relationship between a father and a daughter. There’s no cursing and sex. No guns and violence. Just a father’s love and the admiration of his daughter. If this video is not Father’s Day appropriate, then I don’t know what is. Please take a moment and see @Quesfire and his daughter Lil T doing their thing on “Lil Momma”.
Saturday was a big night at the Radisson Martinique Hotel. The Haute for Haiti Charity Soiree went down in efforts to continue to raise money for the re-building of Haiti after the Earthquake in January. The Billionaire Girls Club, along side Steve Madden, NUVO, BCBG MaxAzria and the American Red Cross in Greater New York put on a charming event in the name of Haiti. The event was a celebration of all forms of entertainment. Music, fashion and print media were well represented. The cocktail hour hosted an Open Bar sponsored by NUVO which set the tone. Andrea Pitter for Pantora, Renee Frederique, Crying Tears, Dominique Auxily and Einent Factor were the designers on deck. They gave a preview of their Fall fashions with “Couture” as the theme. Models strutted their stuff as 3 live DJs, The Morning After band and Quesfire provided the tunes.
Quesfire came to represent all the way. This Bronx born Haitian rapper is another mover in the infamous NYC Underground artist circuit. Not only does he spit fire in English be he can do it in Creole too...and it is on point. His 15 minute set brought nothing but pure energy and turned the show up a notch. Not only was he rockin’ the stage but he brought the show into the audience. He table-hopped and pulled people out of the audience so they could enjoy his performance 100%. Quesfire also has an iPhone app. Hey, there’s an app for everything. Check out and download the App here to keep up with his music, show dates and anything Quesfire related. It is currently the #1 most downloaded Music App http://bit.ly/9yrpHX. I am #TeamBlackberry so he’s going to have to do something special for me.
Here is some footage from the “Haute for Haiti” Charity function. Check him out...
