Public Wizard & Good Vibes Entertainment present Back 2 Basics
There was a lengthy list of performers since this event started at 1pm. But, the kid's got a 9-5, so clearly I didn't get there until around 6pm! I'm not sure how many performances we missed, but we got there in enough time to see the ones I didn't want to miss!

I wrote about Rahsaan in an earlier post. His album, Georgetown isn't out yet (*sad face*), but should be out sometime this summer.
Basic Vocab is a group from Miami (by way of other places in the world). The group consist of JL Sorell, Mental Growth (Mark Gordon of Good Vibes Entertainment...responsible for Classic Sundays @ Love/Hate) and producer Tony Galvin. The dude in the white shirt above is Donwill of Tanya Morgan...he's not a member of the group, but is featured on their latest single "There You Are".
I've only been in Miami for three years now, but I can guarantee you that neither Rahsaan nor Basic Vocab have what most would consider a "Miami sound". I promise when you hear Basic Vocab's first album "The General Dynamic" you'll keep looking at the 2006 release date thinking it's a misprint for 1996. Their sound has that perfect mid-90's smooth hip-hop vibe. Makes you feel right at home. The group is gearing up to release their second album, which I believe is called "The Better Way"??? Don't quote me on that!
Rahsaan's sound is a little different from BV's, debut solid nonetheless. He's originally from Brooklyn, and it's laced all up and through his tracks! lol. I like him, and artists like him because they remain true to their music, regardless of the same shit that is released for mainstream consumption. They allow you to remain fans of the music.
So - kinda disappointed that I didn't really catch anyone I haven't seen perform before, but it was fun anyway.
