The B-A-Double R-I-T-Z Pre Release was my second full show production, renting The Cellar again in downtown San Jose, California along with the wireless mics. Show CDs were also created for those in attendance. Performances started at midnight.
It was a bittersweet night as our show was dedicated to EMPera who tragically drowned almost one month prior on Father’s Day June 15, 2008.
I performed “Just Skip” with Deez Dinero with EMPera’s verse blaring through the loudspeakers, “Flossy” with Swizzle & Deez Dinero, “Livin’ To Die” with Attilary & Swoona with EMPera’s voice posthumously preaching, and “Watch Out There” with MysterE.
The vibe was amazing, the crowd was lively and the show was a success. In hindsight it was a moment of change for me, a great influence of mine was gone, his creative talents were no more, and a friend was lost. Rest In Peace Roy.
