Fire Pick of the Week
September 18, 2023

Thanks for continuing to support indie rap music and the Rap Attack DJ’s.
What is good my Hip Hop friends!!? We just got done with summer and Labor Day weekend has come and gone. That means kids are back to school and football season is upon us! Plus, Hip Hop is winning in 2023! I want to share my incredible weekend here in Los Angeles.

Stacks Image 4619

On Sunday, September 3, the city was aglow in Hip Hop love. Delicious Vinyl (yes, that iconic record label!) are the proud owners of two pizza establishments in L.A. One is on West Adams, in the heart of the city. For many years now, they have curated and hosted an amazing block party that shows off why Hip Hop is a universal culture. They close a section of the block that is in front of the restaurant, bring out lots of cool local vendors and put on one amazing show for everyone to enjoy.
This year, the 4
th installment, was no different. On stage they had DJ Jam, Chris “The Glove” Taylor, Medusa, Kali Madden, Yo-Yo, Medusa, Georgia Anne Muldrow, DJ Battlecat, D Smoke with a special appearance by the God MC Rakim and headlined by Arrested Development. It was non-stop music and great energy. Amazing music all day long, one dope artist after another. This festival never disappoints with the music and vibes that it creates. Huge shout out to Delicious Vinyl, Delicious Pizza and the folks over in the West Adams (Los Angeles) community for doing such an amazing job.
Next year, you need to be there!!

Following that festival, I was not done yet and headed down the road to the Kia Forum in Ingelwood for the F.O.R.C.E. tour featuring Salt N Pepa, Ice T, L.L. Cool J and Rakim, all backed by the amazing DJ skills of DJ Z-Trip and DJ Jazzy Jeff, along with The Roots band. This show was another non-stop collection of dope Hip Hop music. Each artist rocked their set and the fans sang along to all of the songs, making the experience so much fun.
Needless to say, I had an amazing day and night of Hip Hop culture
Well, that is it for me this time! Peace and Love!
