As KingPen Slim launched his โ€œRich Friends Showcaseโ€ on Sunday, Feb. 26 at SongByrd Music House, the energy in the room was electric. The new series featured musicians from the DMV and other areas.

Hosted by P Stew, the first event featured performances by AnkleJohn, DB Bantino, Look Damien, Sincerest Don, and Cel Marie.

โ€œIt was a night of love,โ€ KingPen Slim reflected. โ€œPeople came out and supported. People have jobs, families, responsibilities but [for them to] forgo all of that to come out and support me, I could not be more grateful.โ€

The music was provided by DJ Farrah Flosscett and live painting by ArtShop Cafe added to the ambience.

โ€œThe energy was there and it was infectious,โ€ DB Bantino said.

โ€œPeople said it was another level of music and that’s what I wanted to deliver,โ€ the artist added. โ€œShout out to Kingpen Slim for putting this event together.โ€
