The Vibe Session

ten years ago a friend of mine...

started one of the illest spoken word venues in the state...

he goes by the name of Q-Nice...

a few years later he met a young, ambitious artist who had an "amazing eye" for performance portraiture...

that ambition still resides in me to this very day...

nevertheless, I recently felt that an homage to 'The Vibe Session' is long overdue...

the wonderful, ecclectic, open-minded people that I have met as a result of this movement have played a tremendous role in my inspiration and creativity as a photographer...

those of you reading this can imagine how long that list of people must be...Y'ALL KNOW WHO Y'ALL ARE!













































the movement that is 'The Vibe Session' is still in effect today at the historic Karamu House on E. 89th & Quincy...

it takes place every 3rd Sunday of the month (the next one is July 19)...

feel free to contact myself or Q-Nice for more information at rocket@chiefrocka.com or qnice@chiefrocka.com

Wordscapes 1.17.09

Wordscapes consisted of a medley of local spoken word artist and musicians from Cleveland and took place at the historical Karamu House.

These artists included members of Chief Rocka Entertainment (CRE), Kisha Nicole Foster, Eris 'Zion Venia' Dyson, Joey Pompignano, TUT, Racquel 'The Microphone Diva', Herb Thomas, and several other talented artists.

It was hosted by Basheer Jones of Basheer Jones & Co.

Of course I can't continue this blog without shoutin' out my brothers in Chief Rocka Entertainment (CRE)...

CRE has played a significant role in the spoken word movement in the Greater Cleveland area for over ten years and is still going strong!

Be on the lookout for even more upcoming events, parties, and workshops in the new year brought to you by CRE!

and now without any further adieu (and procrastination)...the images from Wordscapes 2009
