Bands Of The 5th Element Review
 

What a show, WHAT A SHOW!!!! One for the books!!!

This show was sickity sick sick. Don Hill's was a perfect setting for the show, and had a wikid environment all through the show. People sceaming, dancing, just straight out pumpin.

The first show to go on was Green Acres featuring BBE's very own Semerock. These guys just went off, none stopping with their captivating, and energy filled performance. Semeock just out did it as expected, his scratching is just mad, and beats just snug to lyrics....AMAZING, The Grinch held down some master DJing and mixing, and Kris Kyes excited the crowd with his explosive energy, and creativity, sweet vocals, and singing was mastered.

Kid Lucky and Citizen were nothing but amazing, with their rhythmatic symphony of vibrant beats, trumpet, and guitar.Kid Lucky made beats and rhythm that would not let anyone trance out of a head knodding mode. Citizen's vocals and trumpet abilities mixed with his guitar and Kid's beats and both their improvisation was nothing but incredible. It Was KING!!! Citizen's vocals were sooo amazing, it felt like it was coming from within you. Kid Lucky did an oustanding job on Producing this show, and held it down hardcore, the man knows his shows!!



Chesney Snow kept the crowd laughing and invovled with his hosting skills and heavy beatboxing skills. He is very adaptable, and drives the audience. I had the Opportunity of collaborating with my boy Chesney on Stage. We had never beatboxed together, and we tore a heavy set of beats for the responsive crowds, keeping people screamin, and setting the quality pace that went through this whole show of performers. This performance will always be remembered. Chesney, you fucken rock bro, honor and nothing but to beatbox with you.
 




Baba Isreal and Yako just mad the crowds mouth drop to their feet. I mean these guys really had their A Game on to the fullest, damn. Baba shocked the crowds with capitalizing freestyling, and beatboxing just out of this world. Baba collaborated his beats while playing the clareonet, and Didgeridoo, this crowd was so lovin this performance. Yako played the bass guitar like a veteran, and mixes his beats and guitar into whatever needs mixin. These guys just exploded into nonstop energy, and kept the crowds wanting more.

The Cell Theory played like none other. They had incredible music coming from Taylor McFerrin on the keys, and beatboxing. Cell Theories band played the drums and guitar with authority. Tayor McFerrin had beatboxing with speeds and rhythm that were simply put as "bomb", displayed with great artistic senses and and collaboration from his extremely talented band. Their vocals were pleasin for the crowds ears. RAHJ also played with captivating and amazing vocals, and deadly guitar skills that spoke for itself, DEADLY!!! RAHJ knoows how to get a crowd set into music mode.

This show was indeed one for the books, and just showed what BBE and its musical connections have in common, nothing but the best to "SHOW" for!! Hahaha........bam
