What is BRIDGES?

9 years and still smokin’ ,’ the Los Angeles groove-fest known as BRIDGES continues to bridge the gap between house lovers and hip hop lovers throughout Los Angeles. BRIDGES has been a part of the L.A. nightlife with its notable DJ lineups, inclusive vibe and creative approach to partying. It goes without saying that you’’ll never encounter attitude, velvet ropes or the same old commercial music heard at other hip-hop clubs at this long-running fave, which is surely why it’s lasted so long. What began as a sweaty underground gathering has, in fact, evolved into a mega-cool multifaceted multicultural celebration of music and art, live sounds, painting and percussion, and consistently stellar DJ guests.  On their 9th year anniversary, they return to the location where it all began, Barbarella (formerly known as Zen Sushi)

This past Tuesday as you know President Barack Obama had his State of the Union speech.  Before their viewing party The League of Young Voters Education Fund (LYVEF) in partnership with AllHipHop.com and Rock the Vote had an interactive panel to engage young voters.  It was shown live on UStream and allowed young voters to see people like Dee-1, RhymeFest, Chuck Creekmur, Janee Bolden, Andreas Hale, Shaheem Reid, Michale Skolnik and more.  Viewers were able to join in by tweeting questions with #BarackTalk.  It was a great online turnout with over 32,000 viewers and the venue itself in D.C. reaching capacity with people standing outside trying to be a part of this event.  Congrats to all involved that helped make this such a great success.  Make sure to watch the recap video below.

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: DRAKE f/ TREY SONGZ – REPLACEMENT GIRL [MUSIC VIDEO]

January 26th, 2012

It’s interesting yet remarkable how hip-hop superstar Drake pretty much dominated the internet on his rise to fame and still does now.   Whether it’s a beef with Common, supposed romances with pop-stars (like Rihanna), or even spooofs by comedians and YouTube stars it seems everyone knows exactly who Drake is and every type of video he’s ever made.  With that said we decided to post Drake’s first music video that many had never seen and when it dropped no one had any idea who Drake was.  How things have changed in a short time.  This video was a single from his second mixtape Comeback Season.
