In this latest video, Lowkey of Youheardthatnew.com continues his series of interviews with Fresh and finds out exactly why Fresh is a true contender in this rap game and why Fresh believes his music stands to be labeled as classic.
Who I Am coming soon!
Says Meka,
As you know, the dopehouse isn’t just about music, video games and taking pot shots at Ray-J at any given day. When we did our West Coast (2)Dope BBQ this past summer the original plan was to have a summer event for New York as well, but due to time constraints we were unable to make that happen. Nevertheless, the plans to have both a West and East Coast (2)Dope event is still in effect but will now take place in the summer and winter, with the first A (2)Dope Holiday Party (For Charity) event kicking off December 11th at Manhattan’s SOBs hosted by YouHeardThatNew’s LowKey and award-winning host Toronto’s Sir LanceLot with music provided by myself and Stylus Award winner Wristpect. The proceeds* from the party will benefit Toronto’s The Remix Project and there will be free giveaways throughout the night as a sign of our appreciation. Let’s all have fun for a good cause, people. We hope to see you there.
* = And when I say “proceeds” I mean it. Not “$.05 from every dollar” bullshit either.
