The evening of Saturday, March 25th was a magical time at Paved Arts on 20th street in Saskatoon, SK. The All Ages Hip-Hop Show hosted by JUSTDAVEthe1 and Friends was wonderful event for everyone to be alive and let all their ideas come to play; it was surely a sight to behold. The entire set was made to look like a living room rehearsal space, complete with a couch, computer desk, office chair, bean bag, furniture, posters, and even a mini trampoline! An interactive and comfy home vibe was felt right from the beginning and played into the finale at the end in a great way.
There was so much different music performed throughout the night and many different moods that made the setting feel right. Local artists Lucci Lu and BTHEGHOST of Ill Human Nation were an exciting start to the show, bringing hip hop to pop and r&b, then onto a style with roots in boom bap, from John Paradis, and artist previously known as JAWN RAW. Next after a short break, was the locally known spoken word and hip hop talent Loud Voice. Then, the arstist Luced TRIP brought in a wavy summer vibe, ending the set with Prevail, BONE CRATE BEATS original. Everyone was feeling the dance grooves and enjoyed how each artist was bringing chill vibes to join along with. Playing alongside Jonathon Karabekian was Donny Crash Bones and together they performed a set as BONE CRATE to give an experience they both want to bring out to more shows with an atmosphere of keeping it mysterious; unknown but still respected. JUSTDAVEthe1 closed down the night with a very theatrical set so full of surprises that it felt real. Till the end of the night the passion never stopped. The tracks were a due-needed note to self and a reference to "not beat yourself up" as alluded in the track "Prevail" earlier that night. The motive and creation was a beautiful story. Thanks to a team of volunteers and talented people helping everything work out, the night was a success and everyone left with happy faces.
