@AfterHrsAthlete

Big K.R.I.T…in my personal opinion is a great rapper/ MC/ Artist. Country drawl coming from an average man backed up with, substance, powerful delivery, and a demand for respect for nothing more than his thoughts. K.R.I.T. means King Remembered In Time, speaking to the idea that he simply wants to be remembered not a heavy demand if we could all see ourselves as Kings and Queens while on this earth. After, 3 mix tapes, 1 major release and countless features Mr. Krit has released “King Remembered In Time” a healthy mix of himself mixed with some dope beats and the voices of Bun B, Big Sant and a few others. 

On May 10th the great Big K.R.I.T. will be once again gracing the stage of the Howlin Wolf and you and yours are more than welcomed to join us. Opening performances by August Alsina, LG, & Paasky with spins by DJ RQ Away. Get your tickets by clicking the link below.

#HipHopIsAlive #AtlantaFringe 
Hip Hop has captured the hearts and ears of so many since its birth in the 70’s. Expanding and changing into so many things, seemingly having children as the art took on spaces in clothing, dance, visual art, movie and video, as well mutli faceted auditory entertainment of all sorts. Today a young woman, Davida Smith, chronicled it’s impact on her life via a script that has turned into the stage play “Hip Hop Is Alive”. The play features Adrione Dominoe, Mark Caesar, Gian “G-Prospective” Smith, Nicole Collins, Trenton “T-Ray” Thomas, Chuck “Lyrikill” Jones, Rosa Clay, Jayla Williams and Jevon “RQ Away” Thompson as well as Davida herself in a multi act demonstration of the pervasive art form. After a series of showings in the 2011 New Orleans Fringe Fest & a follow up one night showing in 2012, we are excited to announce that Hip Hop Is Alive will be featured in this year’s Atlanta Fringe Fest!! If your up for the ride please come to ATL to support a great demonstration of NOLA talent and love for the genre that has touched us all. If you aren’t able to make the trip please support the play by donating to the Indie Go Go campaign headed by Ms. Davida Smith more info and show times below.

@JohnLacarbiere @SWMNpublishing 

A dream is usually nothing more than a series of moving images that repeat over and over throughout the night only to be forgotten upon waking up. A wish is a grand idea that you somehow can cast a want far into the universe, sometimes without even speaking, and it will come true. Reality is what we live per the strict allowance of the universe.

John Lacarbiere III is the human culmination of a wish to be great, a dream to share his art freely, and a reality that not only allows these things but lights the way to his success. Amongst his recent travels and accomplishments John L. was featured at the March 2013 RAW artist showcase. Please check out the cool interview above, and continue to support the arts that you love and enjoy.
