Sublime Ft. Peter Hadar & Outasight (Prod. by Buckwild)

One of the greatest things to witness in the realm of music and art, is being able to follow an artist's growth within the craft. To actually see a person with a tremendous amount of talent and great potential, begin to fulfil those potential cells in virtually real time is definitely a perk of the digital age. One such artist is Donny Goines. A Harlemite with the love of music constant on his mind, right along with the general stresses of day to day life as an emcee, but as a man first. His life direction is about refinement mirrored in the music he's releasing with the forthcoming album, 'The Breakfast Club'. He describes this project as a yet another step forward as he diversifies the content within and shows listeners a 'lighter side', providing a more in depth view of him as an artist since the release of, 'Minute After Midnight'. One major difference is his decision to do a record full of collaborations, something he has never done.

Peter Hadar - A Date With Harlem @ The Shrine 4-26-09

No one knows hustle like Charles Anthony of Hustlemode, the promoter of last nights, 'A Date With Harlem @ The Shrine' with headliner Peter Hadar. This show though it did get off to a slow start, all in all was a success. Interestingly enough, the host for the evening was, 'Crash' a model seen in Ron Browz, 'Pop Champagne' video. She's pretty hot. My guess is that she's a Harlem native, the reason for her as choice for host. Trezure the Empress  with band makes impressive strides as young soulstress in this NYC scene, one of many new artists fabricating a renaissance to be reckoned with. She is definitely powerful and that power was complemented well during one song in particular that featured, Nova (NRO) where the emcee's passionate delivery was well appreciated by an attentive audience.

Peter Hadar's set was tight. There were a few moments where the sound people at The Shrine basically dropped the ball. Totally, not a good look. But like any good showman, Peter was able to work through the technical difficulties with no problem. His production knocks ridiculously (producer/DJ mathematics) accompanied by a phenomenal drummer, there was a consistant thump going that kept the venue alive. A song with Peter's young protige from Harlem was fully charged with an exuberant energy and when Peter went into his single 'Planets', well the ladies in the building where estatic. Peter Hadar rocks live, with personality, charm, charisma and Merlot. It's about time more media outlets take notice of this talent, regardless he's gonna take what owed to him anyway.
