Too Fresh Productions Presents: Fresh Rhymes
Every 2nd Thursday Too Fresh Productions Presents a showcase of regional Emcees. This week, I was happy to see Fab Deuce as the featured performer with Hunter the One, Flotation and PS the Rebels as well. I've been trying to find the perfect line up to put the Rebels in, love me some Hunter, I totally think Flotation is a performer who's getting slept on, and Fab Deuce Crew are a new favorite of mine. It's like Joel can read my mind sometimes with these line ups!!
V.H.s. stepped to the mic first, which was a pretty dope female emcee with a male counterpart. She spit most of the lyrics, and the dude mostly did back up. I noticed large "X" marks on her hands, so not only was she a female, but a YOUNG female. Girls got a decent career ahead of her. The beats were borderline EDM, which is all the rage right now. Her lyrics and style a mix of club and street raps. A few ladies were up at the front doing their version of a twerk during V.H.s.'s set. I dug her style, and so did most of the people there judging by their bobbing heads.
I listened to a few of the other acts, but took this time to network a bit. The place was getting packed and I get little bouts of clausterphobia when I can't just BE instead I'm having to move to let this person by and watch out for stepping on that persons shoes....screw it. Smoking section outside it is. I came back in to catch Hunter the One. Always a great performance mixing her songbird voice, spitting some precise lyrics to beats and a Capella. Girl has talent, no doubt.
Next up, PS the Rebels. Each started with an A Capella introduction which got the crowd PUMPED! They did a nice 10 min set over a mixture of different beats. Some were boom bap, some were a little electronic, and one had that African tribal flair to it. I've known Samuill and Pihon for a solid 9 months and have yet to see them perform. I've seen a few well done videos and tracks, glad to know that they can bring it live.
One of my favorite locals, Avery "Flotation", took the mic. Now this guy sent me his album a while back and it took me a minute to listen to it. He was nice enough, though, kindly reminding me when he saw me. So finally, I took a listen and first thought was, "Why did it take me so long?!?" I still look at my iPod sometimes and I'm like "Who is this???" Flotation. Why he's not booked more and why he doesn't have a larger fan base is beyond me. He has fantastic word play, a mesmerizing voice that spits in perfect sync to banging beats with just the right amount of bass. Not to mention, he has a fairly decent stage presence and he's a pretty cool guy. I always enjoy talking to him.
Last but not least, Fab Deuce. Talk about taking over a stage! There's 4 members of the official group with Wild Bill having a song of his own and interjecting here and there. Each member got a chance to shine, and I have to say each one holds their own in talent and skill. I was a little sad for the guys for the fact that most of the people at Crown and Harp had already left, and only us die hard hip hoppers were in attendance. But no worries! I, personally, have them booked for the Gold Tips Album Release party April 12th at Bizheard and I'm sure this won't be the last time I see them at a show in Dallas or Fort Worth.
I got to give it to Joel at Too Fresh. Each month he does a fantastic job of organizing the monthly events. He brings in new talent along with veterans, giving each a chance to build while giving the rest of us a spot to network. I never leave a Thursday at Crown and Harp disappointed and without a few new friends on Facebook. For that, I salute you, Joel!!
Pudge and A Sims combine forces again..
