Last night I launched a brand new event series called Matt O + Friends. The goal of the series is to showcase my talented friends in a supportive environment. Every one of my events will be free and located in a convenient location. I knew the first event was going to be fun but I had no idea how great it was going to be. Before I announced the event I had to create a lineup that would stand up to the hype. So I started with the only two artists that received perfect ratings on UpcomingHipHop.net (TruthCity & Natasha Alexander) and added another very talented artist, Jennifair. Jennifair started out the night with a fantastic performance, getting the crowd to sing along. Natasha Alexander was second and brought a bunch of energy to the stage. Natasha and her band rocked the stage and made a bunch of new fans. TruthCity closed the show out like a true emcee should; creating a circle of people jumping up and down all while rapping his lyrics. I can't thank everyone enough for coming out and showing love. See you next time!
