Last weekend I had the opportunity to be apart of the SMES Music Summit & Awards Show. This was my first time attending so I didn't know what to expect. All I knew is that it was an event catering to the music scene & artist in the Carolinas. I was actually wrong cuz it covers more than that.
If you're an artist trying to network & learn then SMES is a great event for u to attend. I have to admit the lineup of panels and panelists was very good. I moderated the Power Panel w/ KP (Def Jam), Wendy Day (Rap Coaltion), Orlando McGhee (Warner Bros), 9th Wonder (Super Producer/DJ), Ray Edwards (Violater) & Angela Roger (McMillan Law Firm). There was soooo much great info shared...the panel lasted almost 2 hours! They do this thing called "King of the Ring", that includes a Beat Battle & Freestyle Battle. I missed the Freestyle Battle, but the beat battle was very intense. Midi Marc was the CHAMP...u can follow him on Twitter @MidiMarc.
Sunday was the SMES Awards show. They had a very nice turnout...Carolina was definitely in the building! Congrats to all the award winners including my folks DJ Chuck T, Charlamagne the God, Ike Gda, Duncan, 9mil! I was surprised that CAROLINA Hero Lil Ru was no where to be found. When they announced the award he won, the crowd began booing. I wonder what he did to his state??? Wow...it was crazy...NO LOVE there! I gotta shoutout Primo Starr (@PrimoStarr) for the BEST PERFORMANCE of the Weekend. The sad part is that he was the last performance. So many people had left by then so they really didn't get to see it...he KILLED IT w/ his band!
The parties were very interesting. DJ B-Lord kept the Happy Juice flowing all weekend. Believe me, everybody was HAPPY! As a matter of fact, check out the HAPPY JUICE song created:
Back to the parties, I was entertained the whole time. Why do girls from Myrtle Beach go to the club Barefoot??? I couldn't believe it. We call them "DIRTY FOOTS"! Girls were taking their shirts off, lifting their skirts up....even tits were exposed. It was wild & fun at the same time. Maybe I'll upload those pics too! U wanna see them? I'm including them anyway!
Check out the SMES next year if you learn, network & meet the best the Carolinas has to offer! Shouts to Chubbz for a nice event. Please make sure i'm included next year.
