| On The Run Comedy Tour - Stellar Hall - Sat July 12 2014 |
The event which was originally supposed to also feature headliner hip-hop artist
FREEWAY, one of
Jay Z's original crew, was a success despite a less than the usual stellar attendance - mostly because main man
FREEWAY couldn't make it due to a murder in the family. Go figure. Regardless, the performers on the night put on a great show with rappers, free-stylers and hip hoppers coming from as far as
Scarberia to get in on the deal and an opportunity to bring it to
Newmarket. And bring it they did yo.
I once asked a hip-hop artist what the difference was between a hip-hopper and a rapper and he said that hip hop was an
attitude. I think I get that now after a night of watching the performers and how they encouraged each other to support the other artists etc. It reminded me of a community support team...a culture even...and maybe that is what he meant by it being an attitude. Cool. Or Dope rather.
To my liking, the back up semi headliner of the evening, Rapper,
Prince P, was not at his best this night. Good, but not his best. He seemed rehearsed yes, polished yes, but he also had some back beat vocals on the track which sometimes seemed to override the stage vocals as his voice seemed a bit tired this night, and I wanted to feel more emotion - not motion - go into it. In other words there is going through the motions and there is projecting your emotion or feeling, and I wasn't feeling it early on.....until the towards the end when a free-style-like collaboration, including with Maurice Weeks himself from
AJM FAM, seemed to get things / him going and that finally upped the energy in the house.
Weeks and the
FAM belted out a few numbers, including the
newly dropped single, The Payment. The performers by midnight had gotten right into it, transforming their energy into the room to bring it to a fevered pitch as people continued to arrive - and no one leaving!

Stellar Hall staff did a sweet job keeping the beers cold, and the fresh snack & deli menu was delish while the lighting was spot on - finally! - as it's taken us a while to get a grip on that part of the house atmosphere with what we have had to work with, but now with some additions it's down to a fine art and looks great,
Next up on the slate, Stellar Hall and TPE, in cooperation with the AJM FAM and 90 Nickel Entertainment, present the ON THE RUN COMEDY TOUR coming Saturday July 12.
