Classic Feature Recap

-

We had the Vegas streets hype with the buzz of last month's Classic Lineup...
And lemme tell you, these folks did NOT disappoint ❣️😍

After a fabulous warm up with some super talented OM Bowlers, we kicked off the feature sets who kept that fire ablaze for almost and hour and a half of straight VEGAS HEAT! What a way to really dive into the summer solstice, 7-0-2 style! 🔥

Ian Sean kicked us off, accompanied by friends like Amy Divine on vocals, Ellijah on acoustic guitar, and Christian on electric guitar. The well-rounded sound of the live instruments really brought life to Ian's performance of his latest triptych album release "Life Love Death." He kicked off our features with a bang, enticing our audience to their feet to rock with him and his friends!

SmokeyTone soon followed, rousing the crowd with a spoken word intro of his usual eloquence, peppered with comical asides and clever nuances which begged the reaction, "you had to be there!" His short series of pop covers he shared on keys was such an enjoyable, energetic pick-me-up, as he had everyone laughing at his rendition of "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars.

Ms. Brittany Soul stirred the room with her epic monologue of self-love, even venturing off the mic for a bit and really utilizing the acoustics of Warhol's Loft! Oh how she filled that room! Her vibrato was stunning and had everyone hanging onto every last word, reflecting that same powerful energy as they reiterated "I AM BEAUTIFUL!" Her lovely voice segued gracefully into her musical ensemble, closing out the set with her flowetic and soothing vocals.

Theo, Theo, Theo... Theo came out swinging with his foot-tapping beats and smooth lyricism. If anyone came to Classic unsure of who he was, better believe they left humming along to themselves "just vibe with a n**** like, like..." He ventured into that crowd even sitting amongst them as he rocked some favorites. Cool as a cucumber, I expected nothing less than for him to make himself at home amidst the Snaps Fam!

Oh man, I didn't even have to introduce our closer... Saucey MF'ing Downs! If we hadn't already gone 30mins over time, I swear everyone in that room would have let him keep playing every track off Sauce Mode and even some of his older bangers along with them. He had people moving, grooving, glowing up, shining... Everyone was a part of the Saucey show at that point. He even took a knee a couple times, singing to the ladies in the room, getting up close and personal as he wooed them with his super sexy performance of "Crossed Up" followed by "Chiquita." And of course everyone had to jump up and join in for "On My Momma." All I gotta say is there wasn't a dry seat in the house!

Overall, the night was EVERYTHING!
Epic.
Unforgettable.
Connective.
But most of all,
Classic!

Thanks to everyone who made it out and could be a part of the magic that was Classic!

Make sure you don't miss the next one July 13th inside Warhol's Loft for our Scavenger Hunt event!!

Origins

I’m not crazy, weathered at worst Like early days of earth Rubble rock birthing life from  violent destruction Fires burning molten in the underbelly of my origins Bubbling beneath cracked surfaces Where I oftentimes appear stable My heart is a volcano Bursting at the seams where new ground must form Former foundations crumbling, splitting like Pangaea  Where connections we once had feel like nothing more than distant history Evolution of man How he crawled out of water to feel sun upon his face How I would wait hundreds of thousands of years  In hopes he’d emerge from darkness to find me Staring out into space The nostalgia of quiet combustion Peering into past lives in the distance Knowing most of what I know to be beautiful is dead I am a supernova  Bursting at the seams where new life may form  Gathering masses from stray debris Gasses and gravity Nebulous love Pulling together new solar systems  in ancient designs and unwritten formulas Life is messy Somehow we find a way to fall

Where do I begin When the whole world has been crumbling for a minute All of us fighting for this pot to piss in like it’s the only place to sit Game of porcelain thrones Everyone bleeding over one-ply papers Worth international deficit Shout out to my American privilege Where ignorance is protected And propaganda is the primary news outlet No scorn over countries war torn, just know both sides are US funded Terror isn’t as terrifying til you and yours become the target When it comes knocking at your door Economic decline existing solely in the working class and poor Gas is $4.20 in Vegas on a good day I’m just trying to make it to work Make it work Knowing someone else is benefiting from this sweat Thirty percent of this check Already guaranteed to the government Navigating tourist traffic They have a habit of making us their escape Make us wait as they wade through ensembles of tax dollars on display While teachers take yet another strike day Begging for a fraction of what is deserve

Co-ping

I hate you the most when I really need you And you're there like you've always been Like you're still my best friend and we can face anything together Like I never left, Like you never let me.. Like we didn't have to let the story end And maybe there was still a chance for happily ever after Something about the softness in your eyes Or the secret in your smile Suddenly you didn't seem so evil I wept, and you held me closely Lips whispering in my ear, "You'll always be family" Heart screaming, "I'll always love you" Some things really don't ever change Because you've always loved me most when I needed to be saved I only crave you like my last cigarette When I see you making someone else happy Giving them that fix you used to give me, Or when I smell you and momentarily I am tempted by the familiarity My fingerstips itching to paint you in my past regrets I hate you most when I see you growing into the man I always wished you had be
