SUNDAY, 11/27 -> I remember going on a long field trip in the 4th grade and this girl I had a crush on was playing something amazing called What’s The 411 on the back of the bus. I’m sure her being a fly 5th grader didn’t hurt, but I’d like to think my young ears had exceptional taste way back then and realized Mary J Blige was a truly great artist (I had just come off a year of listening to SWV and TLC’s debuts, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince – Homebase and Kriss Kross – Totally Krossed Out, so you tell me).
Fast forward to 2011 and Mary’s about to drop her tenth album, still the queen of everything soul and hip hop and we’re celebrating her legacy at Connected w/DJ Low Key at the Hai Bar (32nd & Lowell in the Highlands). We’ll be rocking all the best Mary songs, b-sides, guest features, rarities and most importantly, the remixes that were her calling card in the 90s and of course, featuring food and drinks on happy hour from 8:30-11:30pm. No cover, facebook.com/ConnectedByMusic and ConnectedMusic.Tumblr.com for more on the night.
