Detroit’s underground hip-hop community came together at the Hotel St. Regis for an evening of live performances, good music, and great company as Black Lion Society brought its tour back home to the Motor City.
The Detroit performance marked the final stop of a multi-city tour that reportedly included Windsor, Chicago, Grand Rapids and several other destinations. The group mentioned approximately eight stops along the way, making the return to Detroit a fitting conclusion to their run.
For the homecoming event, Black Lion Society brought in special guest Illa Ghee from New York, adding another dimension to an already impressive night of hip-hop.
Detroit Artists Showed Up and Showed Out
The evening featured some excellent performances, including 1718, consisting of Crim and Forever Foy, who rocked out and delivered an energetic set. Slimmie Hauffa also performed, contributing to a strong night of underground hip-hop.
Several familiar faces were in attendance, including Bareda aka Mr. Wrong who also performed, DJ Los, DJ DDT, and Flyboi Rich.
A Comfortable Setting for Hip-Hop
One of the things that stood out to me was the venue itself. The Hotel St. Regis isn’t a place where I typically see underground hip-hop performances, but it proved to be an excellent setting.
The turnout was nice, the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, and the drinks were good. It was the kind of environment where you could enjoy the performances, socialize, and connect with people throughout the evening.
I would definitely come back for another event at this location.
MyDetroitHustle in the Building
OG-10 of MyDetroitHustle was in attendance, capturing footage, enjoying the performances, and connecting with members of Detroit’s independent hip-hop community.
The evening was another reminder of the talent, relationships, and opportunities that exist within Detroit’s underground hip-hop scene.
