EatingHipHop.com - Last night I decided to
get away from the normal chaotic Thursday nights in Los Angeles and
chose to attend a show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts
(LACMA) which
was putting a show that was hosted by Murs and had
Breakestra and Freestyle
Fellowship performing. This was the 4th installment of
the monthly Through The Mic concert
series.
Breakestra, a group who has
been together for nearly 15 years put on a show that was a non-stop
throwdown of eight folks on stage getting loose and flexing some soulful
skills over some serious grooves—both original and deep covers drawn
from music’s vast vault of funk—think James Brown, the Meters, early
Kool & the Gang, Funkadelic, and Sly & the Family Stone
mixed in a gumbo pot. They went on for about an hour and had all
different kinds of people in the crowd jamming away to the warm and
friendly environment. Check out their video down below

Afterwords, Freestyle
Fellowship, who are among the forefathers of L.A. hip hop
took the stage. The group of 4 includes – Aceyalone, Myca 9, Self
Jupiter, and P.E.A.C.E. – who formed more than twenty years ago and
were staples of the legendary Good Life Cafe scene. The crew had a
strong presence right from the start and controlled the crowd for close
to an hour. Their fifth and most recent album is The
Promise, from 2011. Check out their video down
below.

Although Murs didn't perform as expected,
He was amongst the crowd chatting with fans as well as taking pictures.
The total cost of the event was $15, Which was well worth the price of
admission. Art, Music, Drinks, Beautiful girls, and perfect weather are
all part of the reasons why Los Angeles was rated in the top 10 cities
to live in. So if you're in L.A. for the next event, I highly recommend
showing up. Especially since the next one will be free. Who doesn't
like free??
