Once again ya gurl, Tina aka Skool, would like to extend a good ole shout out to Hennessy & Hot 97 for bridging the gap between established artists and aspiring artists with incredible talent. The performances all in all were impeccable, and the free drinks provided by Hennessey got the crowd loose, which complimented the vibes of the evening and made the night flow extra smooth.



Erin Christine, a wonderful up-and-coming artist by way of Connecticut was the opening act and her performance was nothing short of spectacular.  She has an amazing voice that is sultry, melodic, and oh so passionate. That girl hit the craziest notes, and while she was hammering away at her electronic keyboard.  Like check baby out! And next up, was ya boy Donnis who I must admit, was one of the coolest dudes I’ve met, hit the stage to liven everything up with his ATL-style and dirty south beats that shook the entire room.  He was so energetic and off the wall!






Next up was “Mr. All I Want Is You” aka Miguel. Ladies brace yourself! He was just that good, so good that you felt his lyrics and passion through his completely powerful and melodic voice. Miguel literally left everyone in a state of bliss, which worked well to bring out the headlining act, Bilal who was AMAZING and SOULFUL! He has not recorded an album in 9 years, and after last night I know why. A true artist needs no description nor definition, he only needs due praise, and I’ll give him just that. Please go cop his album Airtight Revenge in stores now. #GoodTimes
