-Ledisi/Angie Stone and Najee @ St. Lucia Jazz Festival
Seasons greetings everyone!
Let’s get right to it, I don’t have new artists to put up, I’m not posting any news…I just want to put some food for thought out there. Sooooo I’m chillin’ at home after braving the mall in search of some black heels, which I found!! I flipped on BET J(not regular BET, let’s be clear LOL) They were showing the 2007 Cayman Island Jazz festival. I started thinking, why hasn’t there been a Caribbean hip hop festival? A Turks and Caicos hip hop festival, Antigua etc. Hear me out, I know for a fact the hip hop generation is getting older and a festival such as this could work. I went to Rock the bells this past summer, attendance I believe was 16,000. I’ve been down to Miami when Radio One put on a hip hop festival, mad people traveled from everywhere. Young people will definitely travel to the caribbean for this! Who doesn’t like the caribbean LOL. I mean it would have to be a chill event, no diss to Plies and them, but I think the demographic would fit better with let’s say Common, Nas, De La soul, The roots, Jay-Z even. Throw in neo soul artists and new pop artists and you have a festival. I would love to take a trip to any caribbean island to see these artists and I know so many people would to. So it’s just food for thought, Bahamas hip hop festival anyone. If I don’t post next week HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone and I wish you all a prosperous and blessed 2009!
