G-Eazy (http://www.g-eazy.com/) is an indie emcee rich on the scenes of his native San Francisco Bay area and his adopted college town New Orleans. Without label support “G”, The James Dean of Hip Hop, rustles hearts and sonically stimulates with his musical authenticity. G sat down with Clarissa Dolphin (www.dolphinink.biz) to enlighten Broccoli City about his part in our cultural revolution: the fall of the superstar in the digital age. G will next grace the stage during this summer’s Vans Warped Tour.

BUKU Music & Art Project was a two-staged indoor and outdoor progressive music festival banging on the banks of the Mississippi River in March. The bass rippled waves in waters ravaged by hurricane Katrina, the surrounding Gulf of Mexico still gurgling oil. Many revelers came from all over the Delta and adjacent states to see Grammy-winner Skrillex, Avicii, Diplo, A-Trak, and Wiz Khalifa for the first time. The atmosphere propagated by the fecund humid swamp air was one of begetting: the palpable parturition of creating and defining an unprecedented cognizance.

DOLPHIN:     So you hail from the Bay?

G-EAZY:        I do.

DOLPHIN:     I’m from Cali too.

G-EAZY:        What part?

DOLPHIN:     I’m from L.A.

I had the honor and pleasure of meeting some incredible people during our event in Compton, CA this past Saturday; however, none more compelling than 5 year old Robin who broke down bio consumption for my partners and I. Did I mention she’s 5 years old?

Simply amazing…

Join us Sunday, December 18th from 5p-10p at the 9:30 Club in DC for our fifth annual Kicks For Kids Charity Shoe Drive & Concert!

The Kicks for Kids program is a collaborative community effort to help support children less fortunate in the Washington DC Metropolitan area by way of shoes! There are plenty of holiday coat drives and food drives, but very rarely do you see initiatives to support our feet. Last year, your donations pushed us over 400 pairs of new shoes that were later donated to the Children’s National Medical Center (200 pairs), So Others Might Eat (100 pairs), and R&B Star Mya’s foundation (100 pairs).

To support our cause this year, we have a special LIVE performance from Maybach Music Group artist Meek Mill!! along with DC’s own Gods’illa, Pro’Verb, Kingpen Slim, Mz Sasha and more!! In case thats not enough free music for you, we got BLACK ALLEY closing out the show!!!
