People came out to the Abode Venue on May 20th to celebrate the life of J-Dilla with Slum Village. I had a great time at this event, and once again saw quite a few people who I have not seen in years. The hip-hop heads were definitely representing for Wichita! Big Sam and Jessie Lives did the damn thing opening up for the show. Also DJ Carbon had me dancing the entire night playing nothing but old school hip-hop, (I'm still reciting the lyrics to The Fab Five - Lefluer Leflah Eshoshka). Slum Village came out and did a live mini-documentary about J-Dilla and how they me and formed the group. Not only did they play all the great Slum Village tracks like "Fall In Love", "Selfish" and "Climax", but they also performed tracks off J-Dilla's The Shining album and a track off the Jaylib album. I was once again reminded how important hip-hop music is to people and how it brings people together. It does my heart good to see events like this around Wichita. Props to Naymlis, Kpush and Cloud 9 for putting on a great show! Check out some of the visuals below! Enjoy! ~ @RoyceOnTheRadio

Saw so many great people at this show and Lawyer is one of them! I haven't seen him in damn near 10 years! This guy was a bboy (part of my crew IWC!) and one of the illest graff writers in Wichita. There are still some DERO throw ups around the city!
