On Monday Sept 1st, 2014; my assistant and I attended the "Days Off" outdoor event at 50 Kent, in WIlliamsburg Brooklyn. Two of the "big names" scheduled to perform were The Lox, and French Montana. The lineup was STACKED with underground artists, before the The Lox, French Montana and friends took the stage.
It wasn't until about 8pm that we were actually able to get in through VIP & get our backstage access. Unfortuneatly, we missed most of the artists performances, as well as many surprise appearances from none other then Remy Ma! We also missed Cam'ron & Bobby Shmurda's performances.

We were JUST in time to catch The Lox take the stage! (Note: Styles P agreed to do an interview for us after the show outside the venue, however, all exits were final, so if we left to do the interview, we wouldnt have been able to catch the rest of the show. There's always next time tho!). Styles, Jada, and Sheek took over the 50 Kent stage for nearly an hour. They did a Tupac tribute at the end of their set, then went onto do a Biggie tribute. Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s own Lil Cease was on stage for the Biggie tribute. They gave Cease a HUGE shout out, & brought him up. The crowd was giving their fellow Brooklyn native nothing but love!
French Montana took the stage next, and so did we! Chinx joined French to perform their hit, "Feelings." Bobby Shmurda also came back on stage to join French on his remix of "Hot N***a," and they tore it up for sure! These guys REALLY know how to put on a show. The crowd was SO live & the energy was just TOO real!
I did get to meet French, but couldn't get a pic. Very nice guy. He was actually next to me for a little bit in between sets, sweating on me! Hahah! Lil Cease was on stage with us for French's set as well, singing alone to all his songs & having an awesome time! I also had an absolutely AMAZING moment on stage, as it was more then an honor to meet a living legend. I had to do a double take for a moment, just to make sure, and it was who I thought it was. Straight from Queens, Mr. Abstract himself, Q-Tip!
I was WAY too pumped to meet this guy right here! And OH how adorable he looked! We tried to get him for an interview, unfortuneatly, he was unable to.
Overall, amazing show. Great crowd. Super live, crazy energy. An absolute incredible experience. Fools Gold really did an OUTSTANDING job putting this show together.
