Did You Miss the Laughter @ DysFunctional Fridays

The Biz Mag finally caught up with one of our favorite poets, Mz. Jae one of our past features in The Bizness Magazine. On June 20, 2014 HISTORIC HYDE PARK became home to a little DysFunctional Behavior in a extremely funny way as Mz. Jae played host to  DysFunctional Fridays which was by no means a disappoint as comedian after comedian took the stage with some very hilarious but very dysfunctional comedy that was intensely spine splitting and funny. The Lineup included the very funny and talented Aaliyah Ford from North Carolina, Khalil, Just Nesh, Ronny “ Phunny” George as well as Spoken word Artist Ed Brooke, and Mz. Jae who by the way is a bit of a comedian herself as she did a little of stand-up in between introducing each comedian. The headliner for the evening was none other than comedian STICK who was fresh off of tour with Eddie Griffin and Bruh Man. The night rain with sounds of the old and new and if you were there and didn’t get a laugh then you were not human. DysFunctional Fridays takes place every Friday night Nestled in The Heart of historic Hyde Park lies the Legendary Checkerboard Lounge known as The “Home of Blues”.  

If you are here in Chicago and you are looking for a peaceful venue with loads of laughter then you need to join us.

Sweet Diezel Jenkins Brings the Funk to Thick Thursday

The Shrine was off the hook this Thursday, once again as Bass Claiborne and Obi Soul Star delivers another successful "Thick Thursday". On Thursday, May 29, 2014 the Shrine turned Thick Thursday was filled with local talent excited for a venue that allows them to respectfully show case their talents. Clarence Morgan aka DJ Clamor and The Soul People Band together set the mood and controlled the crowd creating a grown and sexy vibe.

The line up for the included artist such as Niecee Butler who made you reminisce on the sounds of SWV with her on special twist, Michael Kennedy who woke up the room with his alluring voice and beautiful smile as he brought out the sexy Kiera Frasier aka Prototype to dance while he seduced the crowd with the sounds of Baby Face. Michael Kenady's voice truly makes my heart feel good everything I heart feel good. Now Kenady may have made my heart feel good but Soltre James made me feel empowered with her strong powerful voice as she sang from the soul belting out sounds of Musiq SoulChild, Naomi calmed the crowd down and relaxed us with a lesson on love by Deborah Cox. Last but not least the headliner for the night, Sweet Diezel Jenkins brings the FUNK as the crowd rises from their seats and lead singer Greg Fulton puts fire to their feet and The Shrine begins to rock. Greg's band members Courtney, Andy, and Rodney help create the perfect sound that rightfully matches his deep strong raspy voice that just makes you close your eyes and groove without a care in the world. Sweet Diezel Jenkins gave old school mixed with new school and kept it funky the whole way through. I must say this band deserved to be the headliner of the night as they brought GOOD MUSIC back. They are the perfect group for events weddings, award ceremonies and more. 

Thick Thursday's are once a month at The Shrine on Wabash. It's the perfect place to go to hear live music and fantastic local talent. On top of it all they have great drink specials like $6 Long Island and $5 Remy and Lemonade. It's a great place to network with many of the social lights of Chicago like Mr. Green Weedz Chicago's own reggae connections. 

We urge you to take time to support these artist as we as support your next Thick Thursday. Chicago you have something great utilize it don't loose it.

PHENOM is Phenomenal @ House of Blues

What can I say I mean what can I not say about this Hip Hop Specialist....

PHENOM is Phenomenal , from his educated lyrics to his big personality this young man took me by surprise. One of the first artist to meet who not only says he cares about his community and says he mentors to actually having people really from the community such as Alma Montes  from Fist Defense Legal Access and mentees at his album release party. Phenom open the doors to the people he supports and in return they poured into the House of Blues with smiles on their faces and real emotions in their hearts.

PHENOM is the co-founder of Lyric Mentoring and is rightfully involved in Hip Hop Detoxx. He has performed in many places such as the I CAAN Festival and  Poetry Unplugged in Milwaukee.
This guys stage presence is inviting, exciting and extremely emotional. He changes from a reggae tounge to a HIP HOP flow that's crazy in its own way and then gives you poetry slipping into a smooth relaxing flow. Intsead of yelling BITCH this and BITCH that PHENOM chanted NO MORE MURDER . His guest ranged form actor LaRoyce Hawkins to K Love who is a lyrical beast herself, to GemStones, Awthentik - the sickess hype girl I ever heard, to Lyric Squad, Hip Hop Detoxx and many more that just filled the night with greatness. The dim lights and candles placed at the tables gave a very grown and sexy feel but did not stop the crowd from chiming in with the DJ or grooving to the old school sounds of  Notorious BIG. Which I might add was perfect mood music for the event.

TEAM PHENOM is The Bizness and we are honored to have had the opportunity to not only interview him but watch him in his element.
