We know it’s cold,

You know it’s cold,

Which made last night the perfect time to bust out that fur that’s been sitting in your closet and stunt.

Floridians aren’t known having a strong poker face when going up against 30-degree weather. But there we were, perilously seeking heat in furs, Dusse, and the welcoming environment of a Left Lane Ent event.

Shaking off the fright, the performers on the bill kept the audience riled up. Between side splitting humor, awe inspiring fancy footwork, and outstanding vocal performances, the vibe at last night’s Art & Soul felt especially warm.

However, what made this past Art & Soul so special was the man on the 1’s and 2’s, DJ Sandman, from 95.7 The Beat. The night left nothing to be desired and now we’ll be waiting till next week to really heat things up with Haze Ala, Jinx, and more at WLCM2KNXVLL.

Check out our photo recap of Art & Soul below.

Blame it on the juice, the henny, the lean, molly water, whatever you want but just don't blame it on the weather. We know it’s cold, You know it’s cold, Which made last night the perfect time to bust out that fur that’s been sitting in your closet and stunt.

Both the FREE SMOKE 4 and WLCM2KNXVLL catalogs are brimming with raw talent from all over the east coast. We’re going to take a deeper look into how these events are connected and why it’s important to pull up.

It’s All About Leverage!

Firstly, FS4, although New York-based, is 813 at its core.

LUKEYWHEREYABEEN has leveraged his connections in the music world. Ensuring the past FREE SMOKE events have featured talent from all over the US.

He, essentially become the New York Hub for a lot of people passing through the big apple. But how are the two events even connected?

Let’s talk it back a few years to the first Young Parisian’s takeover.  Yep, that’s right the one in New York, where a scrappy gang of musicians and artists headed to New York to show them what Tampa had to offer.

That trip featured many different artists, among them, were Mike Mass, Mowglii, Wesley Bland, Audio Artwork, of course, LUKEYWHEREYABEEN.

Since the trip, the Young Parisians collective set out on a few more takeovers, one of which leading them to the West Coast. This time this mixed up the line up to include certain acts like  Vern Sr., Louis Junior, and Deezy Wee The Reaper.

The gang mingled with Long Beach finest and smoked with the best bud Cali could offer. What really made their trip unique was their guide to L.A.’s tacos and hip-hop hot spots, was none other the Tampa native, Vinny Virgo.

Now sometime after this trip, Vern Sr. began emerging as the go-to collaborator for a lot of bay area rappers.

Linking up with hitmakers like Deezy Wee The Reaper to put out their collaborative bangers like “Two Lics (Lil Bih)” and giving the bay area one of his biggest 2017 summer hit with “$erf” an all-in wavy track with Noo$e.

Noo$e, can be label as everybody’s favorite uncle, has accrued a heavy following in the 813 and as such will be turning up at The Bends for the two-year anniversary of WLCM2KNXVLL.

Now one more thing, remember that Four Horsemen Tour that happened last year featuring acts such as Wally Clark, Kid Loki, Rising Down, 79 Sorcery, Samurai Shotgun & Bangarang.

Those guys linked up with none other than LUKEYWHEREYABEEN while in New York and just a few months later the Bangarang boys were back on their way to the big apple with AfroPunk Brooklyn ambitions.

Shortly after returning home they delivered a dope “Big Poppa” cover as an ode to Bed-stuys own Biggie Smalls. Ironically enough they filmed it in their garage which features a huge Sebastian Coolidge mural.

    Now we’re not sure if you kept up but let’s reconnect the dots.

    First Young Parisians in New York with Mike Mass, Wesley Bland, LUKEYWHEREYABEEN, and a bunch of other people.

Then Young Pariains do it again except on the west coast and with Vern Sr., Deezy Wee The Reaper and Vinny Virgo.

Next, Vern Sr. returns home starting knocking people out with classics like “Two Lics” with Deezy Wee The Reaper who is performing at FS4 and “Serfin” with Noo$e is performing at WLCM2KNXVLL.

Then Bangarang left their Sebastian Coolidge muraled digs returned to New York and came back with some Brooklyn love. Sebastian Coolidge is the featured live artist at this WLCM2KNXVLL. Tampa is everywhere.

So don’t mess around this weekend. Show up for your Tampa peeps. WLMC2KNXVLL going down April 26thand FREE SMOKE 4 going down April 28th.

giving you the opportunity to turn up with the homies no matter which area code you’re in.

Okay so we think we finally understand the definition of “litwet” and if you were at Left Lane Ent. presents WLCM2KNXVLL last night we’re pretty sure you understand too.

The Bends became collage of collectives, colors and crooners, like really loud crooning.

But what do you expect when the beat drops and everyone knows and loves your music.

It’s a vibe, a wave, a moment.

The support was real. The crowd packed in from the rear corridor to the hallways dancing, having muffled conversations, and partaking  in very funny smells and most of all having a great time among friends.

  We can describe the night in its entirety or we can let this photo recap do the talking.
