I made it out to Lawrence this past Friday night for the Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 show at The Granada. With Jason at the wheel, we arrived around 8:30 pm to see what was happening at the venue site and to scope out the crowd. Mass Street was full of stylish sidewalk strollers...
A most sought after show coming up this Friday featuring KC's very own Hearts of Darkness opening up for Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti) & Egypt 80 at The Granada in Lawrence. I am not sure why this show has been so downplayed...perhaps there is a lack of afrobeat followers in...

Yesterday afternoon, my sister and I had the privilege of cruising up to Reggie B & The Solution's rehearsal space off Benton. Though it was the first time I'd been East of Prospect in quite a while, it was all good in the hood as the sunshine had everyone in a...
