“Gonna Be A Beautiful Night” by Phonte

When I listen to this song the Universe and I get on one accord for a great evening. This may very well be the beginning of a much needed play list for motivation when the SGPR team sets up for an event…hummmmm

““Oh! The Places You’ll Go” -Dr. Seuss”

- I am thankful, so very thankful for the experience & relationships that have continue to make the portrait that is my life. And so thankful that He allowed Soulcial Grind PR and Gypsy Soul to be born in me. I really think that when He conceived my life He said to the barely visible spark… “Oh! The Places You’ll Go” :)

Honored to say the least, that Gentleman Jack Art Beats + Lyrics DC Edition worked with Soulcial Grind PR again to do media for the show.

With performances from Melo X, Snarky Puppy, DJ Lord, DJ Two Tone and others PLUS the great displays by local and national artists as well as FREE DRINKS…of course we would do it again [and again and again lol]

I think the pic featured sums up the experience…great people, great drinks, great art of all kinds…dont miss the next one!

Special shout to host and all around good guy Russell Hustle and creator Jabari for having us!

This song may not be a pick me up but its the song I fell in love with Jesse Boykins with.

We introduced him to Baltimore three years ago and just last week he celebrated Gypsy Soul’s 3rd Anniversary with a performance.

Being one of the first interns for Hidden Beach Records back in the early 2000’s I am of course a huge fan of Kindred The Family Soul.

They recently released their last album Love Has No Recession on Shanachie Records and during their stop in DC for two sold out shows we hosted a meet and greet and media session at Bens Next Door in DC.

They were great!

Its bigger than HIP HOP HIP HOP!!! Who doesn’t love Dead Prez?

So when we got the chance to set up interviews with M1 from Dead Prez you know we didnt have to be asked twice.

With a group of media at Sonar in Baltimore before their show we sat down and had a great conversation about music, politics, and more.

I have been a fan of DWELE for years…i really dig his music. Over the last 3 years I have worked with him several times for interviews and he is one of the nicest entertainers I have come across. Hes always humble yet looks at you directly when speaking and lets you know that hes paying attention.

On tour with the Budweiser Opening Act event that stopped in DC at Love Night Club, Soulcial Grind PR was able to catch up with him and sit down for some interviews with local outlets.

Support this man, he deserves it! S/O to Tim Maynor :)

The Dew Tour came to Ocean City, MD and Soulcial Grind PR was able to set up interviews with The Cool Kids who performed at a FREE Beach Concert with Kid Cudi.

Five DMV outlets got up close & personal with the duo who just released When Fish Ride Bicycles on Mountain Dew’s record label Green Label Sound via iTunes.

Great music, Great tan, Great times…

So much more in store…what dreams may come…

“Tightrope” off of Archandroid by Janelle Monae

Keeping integrity in our work, maintaining high standards and holding others to grand standards as well is certainly a walk on the tightrope.

Regardless, we stay focused and make sure we provide quality and work with what we are given.

We aint complaining we just keeping our balance and getting our James Brown impersonations on :) [we still tippin on it]

Cris Cab may be young but his music and voice are so damn mature. I guess you might expect that from Pharrell’s new protege. Soulcial Grind PR coordinated an open meet and greet for Cris and phone interviews. We had a good time. Hes gonna be a star…

Gypsy Soul & Soulcial Grind PR are coordinating and managing the Cultural Stage at the Baltimore African American Festival this weekend. This has been a goal for over 5 years now that is finally being realized.

This is big for us because this gives us a bigger platform to highlight great music and wonderful artists like Genesis The Grey Kid…

This is the song that made us fall head over heels for him…check it out!

This Thursday the 23rd, Cris Cab will be visiting Baltimore as he continues on an East Coast tour to promote his album Foreword. Last week we conducted phone interviews with a few DMV media outlets with Cris Cab.

We dig this young guys vibe, soul with an influence of the Caribbean rhythms… Pharrell has selected a great protege.

I heard the Fader’s “Open Bar” version of this song on youtube and loved it (maybe because Im in love with someone out of town lol). It was pleasantly haunting, I love the album version and the youtube version… Fall in love.

YUNA. She is amazing and her music is so beautiful. This Muslim songstress is a charmer. We were able to set up a media meet and greet with her in Baltimore and DC as she opened for Raphael Saadiq. Each city fell in love with her…if this Fader Label artist is ever in your town check her out!

Soulcial Grind PR was asked by Coors Light to help coordinate and manage media for their EXCLUSIVE Baltimore live show, Search For The Coldest Artists featuring N.E.R.D. & Pac Div at Sonar. Next to Pharrell and still kept my cool :)

“Monkey Ish” by Stalley

Inspiration…listen, really listen to the song and you might just get inspired too. We are so happy we had a chance to work with Stalley. He has probably one of the best albums of 2011. Seriously.

SGPR continues to build a great relationship with Shanachie Records and because of it we were tapped to create a private media meet and greet and a fan meet and greet for The Floacist as she promoted her debut album The Floacist Presents Floetic Soul.

We had a great time and she was wonderful signing autographs for ever single person who stood in line to meet her at Clutch.

SGPR was tapped by Verve to create a media meet and greet for Sunshine Anderson for her latest album The Sun Shines Again.

We gathered media at one of our favorite hangouts, The Eden Condo Building in Baltimore.

The media got a taste of the album and participated in a round table interview with Sunshine.

Post meet and greet we provided the label with a signature interview book that captured the print media’s articles.

Talib Kewli is one of our favorite hip hop artists.

We were honored to be contacted by Duck Down Records, the distributor of his latest album Gutter Rainbows, to assist with his in-store at Commonwealth in DC before his performance at The Black Cat.

We had FUN and the fans were excited to see him and get signed cds and posters.
