In the Meantime.... Loot Swaay Part 2!

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a great weekend! 

I did! I was really able to sit down and get some writing done. Including this post! Part of how my ADD mind works is that I get so many ideas all at once and act on them right away. Then I have so much content that I don't know where to begin. Thus I end up procrastinating. But this weekend I made it my goal to catch up on everything! There is so much to share!  Reasons Brown is one of them! 

I was honored to be invited to the second part of the LootSwaay fest concert series, In the Meantime! The first go round I had no idea what to expect. This time around I had a better idea. I felt a bit more confident and prepared. There were familiar faces  and talents as well as new ones.  One of the new talents I was impressed with was 15 year old 5 Way Mari! He rapped confidently like a seasoned professional! Not only were his rhymes impressive but Mari knew how to work the crowd. At one point he stepped up onto a stool (caring the crap out of me!) But he did it so effortlessly and confidently! The crowd went nuts! They loved it!  Truly a sign of great performer 

R&B was a big hit at the show! Jay Be kicked everything off with some beautiful songs. The lyrics were sensual and Jay Be's voice so sexy. His laid back composure proved to be another great factor in his performance. I'm sure it made all the ladies in the crowd swoon! 

There was also an incredibly soulful performance by Nani Layilaa which was extraordinary! I was blown away! For one thing she is effortlessly beautiful but then you hear her sing and its a whole other level! She was one of my favorite new (well new to me at least)  performers  of the night! I expect to see great things from her! 

Then of course -last but not at all least- was the man himself. Reasons Brown! The host of show! He actually performed several times. One time he was featured on a rap by Ibe Bello -a familiar face from the previous concert, and who I spoke to recently and have a post about coming shortly!- called Fire! And it was one of my favorites of the night! 

The more I get to know Reasons, the more I just love him! The way he supports people is just admirable! The excitement he gets out of performing -and seeing his friends perform and do well- is so heart warming. Its inspiring. It makes you want to go out and do better. Be dope daily -as is his motto! In fact I ordered a sweatshirt from him recently and as I decided to sit down this afternoon and catch up on my blogs -including this one- what should arrive in the mail? The sweatshirt! And by the way it is the softest sweatshirt!

I'll probably live in it this winter. 

Thank you so much Reasons Brown and to all of the performers! You guys were amazing! I can't wait to see more!
