Concert Review – The Summer Pop Off

By dtownknight Sunday May 17, 2009

CBC and Nite Owl brought together another great lineup of artists together over the weekend, for a bash at ‘The End’. Jerkface took the stage @ 9:20 to get the party started, though most of the early show goers packed the outside, listening to the music through the buffer of the side door and wall. Layering bass heavy instrumentals over recent rap acapella DJ Dailon had the crowd breath and stop, breaking and chopping beats down for 45 minutes. Jables brought more rap infuence, remixing ‘Get Em’ High’, ‘H to the Izzo’ and ‘Good Times’ by Styles P, breaking inbetween songs, leaving the crowd in anticipation for 30 seconds at a time.

There was an noticeable difference in the audio of Truly Grimey’s set. Pushing the volume and bass up a notch brought the party to a new level that would set the bar for the rest of the night, so by the time Karius came to the stage, the party was in full effect. The End was packed to the max throughout Karius’ high intensity set, giving him ample people to feed off of before regurgitating the energy back in audio form. Two Fresh came to the stage ready to do what they do best for their home city. Along with the twin brothers and Colby, DJ Kids Meal was brought in to perform scratches, adding another facet to the already talented lineup. Playing until after 3 in the morning Two Fresh showed the crowd why their quickly becoming known as the kings of Cashville.
