Jahni Denver’s Hip-Hop Wednesdays Vol. 4 @ Herman’s Hideaway on February 13, 2013, started off with a bang, courtesy of the comedic relief of young stand-up comedian Rick Bryan. By the time the crowd pulled themselves together, the first act hit the stage, which was Turner Jackson. Jackson hit the stage with his gritty-meets-glamour style. He hit the crowd with an energy-packed performance that started the show off right.

Jackson’s act was followed up by a performance from Hyp Hop Sells that also featured D-Rell. This performance blew the venue up with that party vibe, move-your-body music. The stand out song of the performance had to have been “Moscatto & the Chief” ft. D-Rell which exemplified the chemistry between the two artists. Cay La Vie was next up on the stage, and his performance was something to see. This young man was full of energy and enthusiasm as he precisely recited his lyrics. The future definitely looks bright for this young emcee.

CollieRad followed up Cay la Vie’s performance with a slight change in sound with his insightful, storytelling type flow. The vibe was mixed for this performance but the sound was good. King Muse was up next and kicked the energy level back into high gear with his entertaining performance. Stepping up next was JJ-Ill who let his heart out to a crowd that, although was starting to deplete in size, still held groove to the music. Jahni Denver surprised the crowd with a special performance that featured Rawbee, which ended the show off right. The show was awesome, my only complaint would be that the venue wasn’t packed, but all the artists that performed did a great job.
