All Elements, Big Jeff Ent., and Castro Co. in collaboration with Queen Yonsada and the Justice League NYC combined their efforts to put on a great hip hop show recently at SOB’s to benefit and shed some light on the recent water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Proceeds from the show would go to the residents of Flint so they can get water filters to access some clean drinking water. I hobbled in around 9 pm and Frank Knight jumped on the stage. The dude is a live wire on stage and nasty on the microphone. Knight shared the stage with recording artist, Cheri Lashell before bringing up his mentor, Brooklyn MC Sav Killz for a few songs including “Dope” and “Saturday Morning Cartoon,” a feel-good song off his most recent release, Immovable Kings. DJ J-Ronin kept the show moving along with Lyricist Lounge Co-Founder, Danny Castro who introduced performers to the stage before they rocked for a few songs.

Quadir Lateef made quite an impression with his mighty voice and ability to get the crowd to participate in a song that featured the Dead Prez instrumental of “Hip Hop.” Dylan Dili brought his island smoothness and swagger to the stage for some reggae tinged tunes. Dylan felt dissed when Castro mentioned his Making The Band affiliation and defended himself by grabbing the mic and shouting out P. Diddy before slamming down the mic and walking off the stage. Mysonne Linen representing Justice League NYC dropped some knowledge and Nitty Scott, MC represented female MCs with J-Ronin on the turntables. The legendary DJ Grand Wizzard Theodore, the inventor of the scratch blessed the crowd with a routine that included his infamous no-look needle drop. He also performed while balancing a record on his head. Skyzoo performed tracks off his recent album, Music For My Friends followed by Division X from South Bronx and Smoothe da Hustler who performed “The Art Of Rap.”

DJ Poska all the way from Paris popped up on the 1’s and 2’s for the remainder of the night backing up legends such as Sadat X and Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian. Sadat X an Lord Jamar performed a combo of hits including “Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down.” Queens MC, Royal Flush followed with a short but memorable set and the night concluded with another Queens legend, Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz cranking out some old hits including “Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless,” “Renee” and “Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz.” Big Jeff aka Zulu Jeff made a couple announcements at the end of the show including a mention of an upcoming event at SOB’s: The X-Clan 25th Anniversary show on April 5 at SOBs that will feature Live performances by Bro J (of X-Clan), Sadat X (of Brand Nubian), Wise Intelligent (of Poor Righteous Teachers), Mic Handz, Pri The HoneyDark, Lucky Tatt, DJ Cash Money, DJ Butta L and more surprises.
