“The Culture”
Months ago, local artist King TJAY asked if I would be part of his event and if I would host it. To be honest, I’ve thrown many events and I NEVER get on the mic. I’ve done it once at an outdoor art thing, but never at a big party with performances. I’m outgoing and definitely not […]

Scotland Yard in Hoboken
