Clarity Check Awards Show: UNBELIEVABLE! July 23, 2010, I woke up a virgin but after that night I was a full grown WOMAN! Now get your head out of the gutter, I was a virgin to such an event. I lost my virginity that night. I walked in the door heart pounding. I checked myself in the mirror 10 minutes before exiting the car. As I'd arrived, I received confirmation that those 10 minutes did me a lil good. I was greeted with so much warmth it melted away my ambiguities. Elite, well dressed industry...gentleman, Elegant, ambitious...ladies surrounded the building. VIP was full, drinks pouring, anticipatory conversations filling the air competing for space with the music...Pimp C, Frankie Beverly and Maze (You name it, they Played it!) I wish you could have been there.
Once I got comfortable, moving from VIP to the Artist Recognition area (Platinum Grind, an official sponsor presented...) I sat there like a deer caught in headlights, unsure of what the show would bring. Immediately, I was lured into the sultry sounds of a Soul Songstress, LaTonya. I was so taken aback by her talent, her underdiscovered talent, because its certainly discoverable. Seperate from the talent displayed from the jump, Lady Hennyssi and DJ DreamKast have put together Houston's own BET Awards. Their mission to "explore new heights as we have committed ourselves, our time, our passion and efforts to giving the artists of Clarity Check grand exposure, professionalism and an experience out of this world..." is more than knowledge, its accurate, reliable and valid...truth. Artists are genuinely and classically showcased and honored for their efforts, participation, developments, and hunger. Its a beautiful learning exxperience for anyone who is involved.
The house was rocked by, Headliners Antho and Q-Mane, both award receipients. Q-Mane, is a 13 year old rap phenomenon. When you listen to his music and rap style, you instantly think of Lil Boosie with a Webbie feel. Q-Mane's ability is as unique as they come and more than versatile. He has the energy of an entire football team. He is more than an artist he's an entertainer. His father supports him 150 percent. Q-Mane dont need you to get out the way, he is burning a path of his own. And Antho, shhhhh, Man, he has been doing this since a very young age, so you know he has had a lifetime to hone his craft and he has far exceeded that. Awards seemed limitless with all the gifted beings that filled Krystals VIP.
My cherry popped when my business partner and I, presented the Clarity Check Award to Miss Tisa. To grace the stage with another strong, progressive, determined sister was ecstatic. To know Despite, the way the game does its sisters at time, it was the game showing much love. I was more than honored, humble to present this award. Right at the peak of it all, I was in the same space, breathing the same air, with the woman that gave life to one of Hip Hop's BEST, Pimp C. Mama Pimp, as I adoringly named her, made it a family affair and brought Pimp's seed, Corey and her husband. That alone made it a night to remember.
I want to end this simply with saying, My Clarity has been CHECKED! Thanks to Lady Hennyssi and DJ DreamKast, for such a wonderful experience.
