Diamond in the Rough Open Mic at Nook – Brooklyn, NY

ABOUT:

I have received so much love and support for this mixtape and have been blessed enough to go on tour! I am dedicating this night to give back to the community and create a open mic for poeple who are just like me-a Diamond in the Rough. This is a community-driven open mic centered around expression, growth, and transformation. This is an open mic for the people who know that they are more than their current circumstances. With life always happening and bills never stopping, we often feel pressure to become something great. Tonight is our night to express that feeling and be a light for someone else.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
