This was a hip hop showcase at another NYC club that is no longer with us. This spot never really had time to develop a scene or identity so no one remembers it.
I actually found out about this show on crunchy concert listing site jambase.com, so the show had that backpack rap appeal.
This was one of the few shows I was ever able to coax my roommate into attending.
Glue was the opening act and I can honestly say i have never seen any performer work such a small crowd in such an exuberant manner. There couldn't have been more than 30 people in the audience, but emcee Adeem had them all hanging on his every word.
Surprisingly, there were even fewer in attendance when Breez hit the stage. He's one of those deep underground rappers, always on the grind threatening to flirt with the upper echelon of the unknown greats. He rocked a passionate set for the remaining heads.
This Concert Cruise was my first time witnessing the unimpressive pairing of the trio with the vocalist Toussaint, who would later briefly join the group.
