The Bam Pow event was a definite success for everyone who participated.The crowd had a variety of people, black, white, asian, latino and other. They even catered to every one in a unique way, free beer, hard alcohol and SF4. The Street Fighter 4 tournament was dominated by some guy with glasses and a brown suede/ leather jacket, he was 21 and 0 when I took my picture who knows when he retired. The female population trumped the males, the ratio was about 2-1 so the odds of getting a girl was high. Ant and I just got blasted with a tall bottle of sky and orange mango juice and called it a night. I also met one of my myspace buddies Arlene at the party, nice to meet you in person, its a very very small world.

This show was meant to happen for me, first I tell my boys Q and Clip that I can’t make it to their first event because I have to work, weak sauce. So I show up to work but really not wanting to be there when all of a sudden I get a call on the radio that I have the option to leave early, that was all she wrote. I get back home my barber Jabari was in the house, I got a fresh cut, then proceeded to prepare for the show. To make a long story short the FUTURE 3 and THA LOCK killed the show, very diverse and energetic. I mean to be their first show I was blown away quite frankly. So check out the pictures from the event, the color photos are of Tha Lock and the B&W’s are The Future 3.
I went to this event at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on the 5th just a day after I broke my finger and got some cool shots of the event. If you performed and want pictures hit me at info@prepjerks.com. The event was pretty exciting for me, the crowd was a little older and had a different demographic of people in attendance. Most shows I go to are more of a hipster scene and this event had a little more “hood” to it but not in the negative connotation. Latino Hip Hop supporters were in the building along with a few asian peeps. The sets were really dope especially Berreta’s performance. He really put a lot of heart into his set and I was very impressed by him. He really brought a hip hop vibe to the scene with the B-boys, DJ’s and a live band rocking out, he really stepped it up. shout out to Omar I missed your set but dont trip I am going to be at the next one 20 min early Continue Reading »
