Wall to wall sweat, a good vibe and plenty of libations, this was the scene as I stepped into the Mercury Lounge @ 493 East 33rd Street. I made my way passed the bar to the dance floor and located DJ booth. Hands high in the air and plenty of gyrating hips was proof that the man of the hour was in a zone, the infamous vibe creator, the Imperial DJ Shogun. As he kept the groove going he took the crowd on a pleasure ride, diving into the early 90's Hip-Hop with hits like Mona Lisa, Hip Hop Hoo...
As old as I am, I feel much younger than my years. I still watch videos and imitate the latest dance steps and can appreciate some of the style that has evolved with the growth of urban music.

I arrived on time after braving NYC traffic and congestion. Although I left in ample time I got stuck on the 59th Street Bridge for half an hour, typical. Thanks to industry standards the show started late and I didn't miss a beat. The event was hosted by Malik Brooks and turned out to be a house full of talent in all shapes and sizes. I was taken aback by the ambiance at first but it turned out to be the perfect setting. Jalene's segment started off a ...

Here's a look back at one of my favorites, Firm Biz featuring former En Vogue diva, Dawn Robinson. Enjoy, nuff said.
