Timberland Celebrates Hip Hop’s Big 50 with Lola Brooke, Kaytranada and More

by Chris K. Singh December 4, 2023
written by Chris K. Singh

11-17-23 For what feels like a lifetime, Timberland has been a staple within the New York music scene. Whether it be the shoe that has defined the city itself or the hand in hand work that the brand has done with countless artists of the past. Regardless of the context of reference, Timberland has played their part.
In recent times, things have not changed as they announced the Timberland STOOP – a mobile pop-up tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop and the Original Timberland® Boot – honoring and giving back the communities that have helped make the brand what it is today.
The event started off with a bang as the Greenpoint Terminal was excited to see hometown girl Lola Brooke hit the stage. Her set did not disappoint as her summer anthem with Bryson Tiller “You” was clearly a favorite of those in attendance.
Following Brooke was Long Island native Roc Marciano who dropped a project last year with legendary producer and artist The Alchemist called “The Elephant Man’s Bones”. Watching Marciano’s set it is abundantly clear that he is well on his way to establishing himself as one of the most consistent artists in the city. 

One thing was clear mid-way thru the set list- each artist that was booked was quality and had a strong catalog and fan base to boot.
After Marciano’s set was over, fans had the pleasure of seeing Aminè- an artist out of Portland that has a huge catalog of mixtapes and projects that have made him successful over the years. His set was full of energy and if he was not someone you were familiar with you would at least find yourself vibing because of his hit friendly sound. 
Closing off the event was none other than grammy award winning DJ Kaytranada- well known for his smooth and eclectic sound. If awards are not something that moves you, I assure you that his set would. Just a few songs into the set it was clear that he was a professional in his world of music. Those in attendance could not help but dance as he had the warehouse rocking.
Timberland has been a staple within the music community for generations- and if they continue to celebrate the artists and the community in this fashion it will be no surprise that they keep thriving the way they do.

written by Chris K. Singh


6-28-23- As we are midway through the wild ride we call an NYC summer, things have been ramping up as of recently and really taking on a life of its own. 

  One event in particular in reference would be the Tropical Takeover Tour- sponsored by Vita Coco and Captain Morgan and Headlined by current worldwide sensation Chinsea Linda Lee otherwise known as Shenseea. 

  From the doors, those who had the pleasure of attending were immediately greeted with an island vibe that could not be described. 

  As you enter, the plants and lights that greet you seem as they are growing through the ceiling. 

  From drinks to food- Captain Morgan and Vita Coco did not miss a beat. The drinks were based on the tropical theme and it seemed as if everyone was drinking the Jamaican Rum Punch as the distinctive red liquid seemed to be in everyone’s cup. 

  As if the drinks weren’t enough, the food had those in attendance in a frenzy as people were lined up all throughout the venue. 

  By the Shenseea hit the stage- fans were more than ready. 

  As the lights dimmed, you heard her distinctive voice before you saw her. And upon arrival Shenseea did not disappoint. 

  The energy was electric from the beginning, as Shenseea did everything from free-styling to performing her biggest hits. 

  From the critically acclaimed “Lighters” to her newest single “Curious”- fans were not starved for much, as she did not disappoint in any fashion.

  One of the more notable things was how Shenseea went out of her way to uplift all the women in attendance, reminding them the importance of an independent mindset. 

  The highlight of the night was the dancing contest that Shenseea chose to host on stage.

  Three contestants had the opportunity to not only dance with Shenseea but the winner actually performed her closing song with her. 

  As the concert came to a close, it was clear that the bond Shenseea was developing with her fans might still be growing, but is extremely strong.

Amazon Studios Presents: Sleazy World Go

by Chris K. Singh December 6, 2022
written by Chris K. Singh

Amazon Studios presents Sleazyworld Go, the event gave fans a chance to get a first look at the Kansas City native presenting his music and story in his own words. After a brief interview breaking down his upbringing, Sleazyworld made it clear that those same circumstances were instrumental in the way that he developed his own sound and was able to handle all that has come with his current fame.
The intimate setting complimented Sleazyworld Go’s quiet confidence as he took his time and carefully and clearly answered each question- it was clear that he understood how big of an opportunity he was receiving as he sheaded a light on the fact that there are but a few rappers coming out of his city.
“I think what I am doing now is big- but I want to make a way for the artist’s down the line. Like, in ten years I want my city to look like Atlanta, Memphis- you know what I mean.”
Going into deep dive, Sleazyworld discussed some of the main influences that made his project “Where The Shooters At” exactly what it is. 

While he is known for the hard hitting anthems, he mentioned showcasing his ability to make slower love songs- such as his single that was released in August of this year “India Me”. In the song Sleazyworld Go elaborates on his fantasy of finding a female that will stick by his side through thick and thin. A rare sight to see an artist this early into his development willing to experiment with his sound, especially when he has already developed a formula that has been successful thus far. 

Shortly after the interview wrapped, Sleazyworld Go proceeded to show those in attendance as well as those live streaming exactly what they came for. His soft spoken energy disappeared almost immediately as he showcased his high energy that worked almost hand in hand with his music.
From his smash hit single-”Sleazy Flow” to the single he elaborated on “India Me” he did not hold back anything. It felt like he had an endless supply of energy once he began performing, each song carrying the energy that the previous song had held. Throughout the entirety of the performance- one thing was evident, the sky’s the limit in terms of potential.

Brooklyn’s Own National Sawdust Host’s Paloma Ford’s Breakout Session as Spice Surprises

by Chris K. Singh September 8, 2022
written by Chris K. Singh

  09-07-2022- Brooklyn’s own National Sawdust hosted Paloma Ford’s breakout session sponsored by United Masters & Crown Royal Apple.The intimate venue was electric from the jump, not sure if it was the specialized cocktails that were sponsored by Crown Royal Apple or the level of excitement that was exuded from each artist that had a chance to grace the stage, regardless every party involved delivered.
The opening acts consisted of a variety of talent as United Masters showcased their diverse roster. You had artists such as Goldie Scott, a New York based soul-singer who seemed to grasp the crowd’s attention immediately. Following Goldie, we had Pieri- a Mexico based artist whose energy can only be explained as electric, when she got on stage you could not believe the tone and energy she was able to generate during her set. Following a brief intermission- Liana Banks hit the stage and delivered in a major way. The Queens born R&B sensation captured everyone in attendance with not only her vocal ability but with her veteran-like stage presence, those in attendance seemed to be holding on to her every move. As she finished her set, the crowd was in an uproar as they did not get enough.
United Masters set it up perfectly, as by the time Paloma Ford hit the stage the crowd was in a peak frenzy. For those in attendance that had no knowledge of Paloma’s track history was able to get a hands-on first experience.

From the lighting to the back up vocalist, everything was on point. She delivered with precision as she ran through her catalog as well as performing her newest single fresh off her two year hiatus “Bentley Truck”. As she wrapped up her performance, she voiced her gratitude for being allowed to perform for such a lively crowd.
As she exited and those in attendance were heading to the exit, it was announced that they have a special guest performance. As the crowd pressed for the identity to be revealed, VP Recording Artist & Grammy nominated Spice made her grand entrance and sent everyone into a frenzy.
The energy was off the charts as Spice along with her backup dancers and volunteers from the audience quickly brought a dancehall vibe to the stage that felt authentic. From her provocative outfit to her exotic choreography, one thing was evident- Spice is a star and she was the perfect talent to utilize as a guest performance.

DDG Headlines Brooklyn’s own Music Hall of Williamsburg

by Chris K. Singh July 22, 2022
written by Chris K. Singh

07-16-2022- Music Hall of Williamsburg had the pleasure of hosting Epic Records own DDG. The Michigan native headlined a rather intimate show that gave those in attendance a chance to not only witness his versatility but also a real chance to connect with what he referred to as his day ones.
The show kicked off with Baby Rich, an upcoming Alabama artist who recently dropped a single called “Simon Says”. Even though Baby Rich is new to the music industry- it was clear that he has an immense amount of talent. While his time on stage was brief, he made the most of his time on stage.
Following Baby Rich, was Paidway. T.O. The Pontiac ,Michigan native performed his newest single “Okay,Okay” along with some of his older material that those in attendance seem to really resonate with as Paidway. T.O. is also DDG’s cousin and along with his music has a real following within the YouTube community.
The headliner, DDG, hit the stage around 930 as the crowd huddled around the stage in anticipation. As the lights went dark and DDG entered through the side door all that was visible was his diamond chain and watch reflecting in the dark- the climatic entrance was foreshadowing what was to come.  
DDG, has been in the headlines for boxing and making the most of his YouTube endeavors, however as he began running through his catalog of music it was clear that he has a real talent for headlining. As he had a song for almost every occasion, quickly showing those that were not familiar with his music that he is more than you would expect.

It did not take long for those in attendance to erupt as DDG performed his breakout hit “Moonwalking in Calabasas”- the 2021 certified platinum song caught his day one fans in a fluster, as towards the end of his set DDG even allowed one of his fans to come on stage with him to perform the song on the stipulation that the fan had to know the song word for word.
As the fan got on stage, he did not disappoint as his immediate energy caught everyone by surprise- DDG included. Shortly after the fan spit verse word for word DDG congratulated him and thanked everyone for coming out.

NoMo Host’s Gazoo To The Moon’s “Open The Gates”

by Chris K. Singh July 22, 2022
written by Chris K. Singh

 07-14-2022- SoHo’s NoMo was host to the one of a kind art exhibit by Gazoo To The Moon. The newest art collection was entitled “Open The Gates” and was inspired by Gazoo’s previous series known as “Gateway to the Moon”. 

  “Open The Gates”- consisted of live art where the artist Gazoo made a piece in front of those in attendance. Along with the live performance there were a series of pieces that were for sale and on display that showcased the true versatility of Gazoo’s artistic expression. 

  Within the previous series “Gateway to the Moon” – Gazoo explored his one-of-a-kind geometric tape art installations. The meaning behind this year’s live art show is powerful as Gazoo opens the gates to his new realm of life and creativity by expressing his art in a way he has never done before.

  When asking Gazoo to further what he means when he’s exploring new realms he further elaborated

   “I am at a point in my life where I believe in what I am doing for myself. I have been doing art my entire life and I can really see every detail of my life reflecting within my art.”

  In regards to the geometric art, Gazoo explained that he started this artistic journey 10 years ago and made it clear he has intentions to keep progressing. 

  “Down to the tape that I use to create the art itself- has significant meaning. One of my role models, early in my life, pushed me towards my passions and it was him that inspired me to use the tape in such an intricate and precise fashion.”

  While speaking to Gazoo, it is evident that he has no intentions to stop evolving as an artist. He will continue to keep pushing the border with his live art and one-of-a-kind geometric tape art installations.
