If you thought the sudden resurgence of 90 degree weather served as the catalyst that drew hundreds upon hundreds of spectators to Prospect Park this weekend, your observation is off by a long shot. Know Your History! August 29th commemorates the birthday of the late King of Pop: Michael Jackson, who would have turned 52 on Sunday. This year’s tribute (which was actually the 2nd annual “Brooklyn Loves MJ!” event) hosted by Mr. Absolut Brooklyn himself- Spike Lee, was everything last year’s festivities was and then some complete with DJ Spinna on the 1s and 2s AND a special performance by Snoop Dogg! Just imagine strolling through the park and stumbling upon a huge, open field on a beautiful summer day completely filled with MJ fans (young & old) singing and dancing to his many chart-topping hits. Imagine a slew of MJ impersonators cladly dressed in official MJ garb successfully attempting to moonwalk in the grass, freelance painters drawing images of the iconic megastar, all while droves of supporters, tourists and parkgoers alike chanted the infamous “Ma Ma Se Ma Ma Sa Ma Ma Coo Sa!” It was a wonderfully, organized and drama-free event that I’m sure MJ would have loved. Special BKBOYEEZ shoutout to Spike Lee for curating the event & to my fellow Brooklynites for behaving! #ImJusSayin… MJ would have been sooo proud.

Livin’ Off The Wall.

When Brooklyn people get together if you don’t know it’s always music, crazy amounts of laughter and without a doubt; a good-time.

Last week was a pretty hectic one for me, but I’m not complaining! I was honored to have had the opportunity to perform at world-renowned Radio City Music Hall & the legendary Rucker Park in Harlem for the 2010 NIKE World Basketball Festival. This year’s theme- United We Rise, adorned the streets & subways of NYC in bright, bold billboards complete with Avatar-like caricatures of some of the NBA’s top movers & shakers including Kevin Durant (USA), Yi Jianlian (China), and Carlos Arroyo (Puerto Rico). For the first time in recorded history, the leaders in athletic footwear- NIKE, Jordan Brand & Converse- brought together players from Brazil, France, Puerto Rico and China uniting them through the one universal language they all share and love: Basketball.

I don’t know where you were Monday night, but the BKBOYEEZ were definitely at Wingate Park catchin’ the show and seeing the sights. Shutting down the 4th show of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Concert Series was Slick Rick, Naughty by Nature and Salt-N-Pepa. They rocked the mic to a crowd of Old School Heads, Retro Kids, Grown Folk, Hood Dudes & Tourists who recited words to all the classics- like “O.P.P.” and “Let’s Talk About Sex”. And the crowd went wild for special guest- Busta Rhymes, who blessed us with one of his hit songs: ”If You Really Wanna Party With Me”. It was a dope concert reminding me that HIP HOP AIN’T DEAD! If you missed it, check this out.

 BROOKYLN’s Wingate Park was more than packed tonight as thousands of people flooded the park floor for the Martin Luther King Jr. free Concert Series. Old school night was the theme and our borough president, Mr. Marty Markowitz, had a serious line up for us that started with Mr. Lodi Dodi himself- Slick Rick, Other People’s Property Takers- Naughty by Nature, and the original Queens of Safe Sex- Salt-N-Pepa.

We here at BKBOYEEZ.com have been commenting on the Martin Luther King, Jr. Summer Concert Series for about 3 years now, and I can personally say- I have experienced some of the music industry’s most spectacular talents and performers from right here in my back yard. Last night’s line up of course brought out what seemed like all of Brooklyn and the surrounding areas. “Now can you see me/ here on the edge.” Chrisette Michele has one of those voices that can stand on its own as a separate entity. The BROOKLYN native belted all her hits and some favorites of mine to her family, friends, and fans in the audience that gave her the love right back (looking and sounding as beautiful to us as her performance). But that’s just what we Brooklynites do, so that was no surprise. Read the rest of this entry »

DRE.B.EZ & Sherene Smikle (Special Events Manager of The YBF Co.)

When my friend Sherene told me she was working for the YBF Co., I was a bit puzzled because I’ve known her well over 10 years and never knew her to be passionate about celebrity scandal & gossip in Black Hollywood. After having a brief WTF moment in my head then speaking with her more in depth about the company’s mission, she quickly cleared the confusion by schooling me on the acronym Y.B.F. - which means Young Black Female (…entrepreneurs, that is!) This mixer, held at Pearl Studios on Saturday- not too far from 34th Street, was a night introducing & celebrating young, black female entrepreneurs who have fearlessly taken that leap of faith establishing their own businesses. Sponsored by Carol’s Daughter and The Body Shop, this event showcased products & services from a wide variety of markets including: make-up from Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics; earring jewelry from D.B.U. (Design By U); housekeeping services from Housekeeper to the Stars; specialty hair extensions by Shedelle Holmes; and even catering from Dining With Grace, Inc. Although I couldn’t personally benefit from the products/services displayed throughout the night as they’re all targeted toward females; I can however, commend these Young Black Female entrepreneurs on having a dream, holding fast to it and seeing it thru to fruition. Job well done, ladies! And Sherene, “my twin”- hats off to you for curating an amazing event. Kudos!

There Are No Limits But The Sky… Just Believe!

The BKBOYEEZ love Brooklyn to DEATH (…on some “Do-Or-Die” type ish!), but by no means are we opposed/afraid to venture off outside of “our hood” to find a good time & this past Saturday- we did just that! We trooped through the woods & across the waters to Staten Island (…yes, Staten Island!) to celebrate another healthy & prosperous year with Mrs. Paula- our friend Shakirah’s mom. Now don’t tell  anyone… but Mrs. Paula recently  turned the BIG 5-0, and  she’s living proof that “Black don’t Crack” considering she doesn’t look a day over 30! All we can say is: Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, Mom. Forever Young is definitely working in your favor!
