HIP HOP

Nov 2009 - Jan 2010

With a love for hip hop and soul, of course New York was one of the cities I wanted to experience. This included taking in as much as possible and hitting up a lot of shows.

In Australia we pay anything from $35-$100 to see artists like these, in New York I paid from $10-$30 for a ticket. Eat your heart out.

Warren G @ The Bowery Ballroom. It was his birthday and there were only maybe 50 people or so in the crowd and he didnt care.



Keith Sweat @ BB King. We just had to go and see him, wasnt as lame as we thought, haha. He also spat on Amy while singing, a defining moment for her.



Jesse Boykins @ SOBs. Amy and I had been hanging to see Jesse live, best night!
