The color blue gives off nothing but that vibe of coolness and as refreshing as summer rain, and the listeners were very much feeling non-parched as we delivered the highly anticipated second installment of our still rather fresh new concert series “The Graffiti Sessions.” Vol. 2: “Blue Light District” featured the luscious acoustic sounds of Miss Kyshona Armstrong, the spiritual vibes of “The KalimbaMan” himself, Kevin Spears, and last but certainly not least the banging yet passionate aural sustenance from ATL’s own TwentyOne. And as a bonus, we were in for a sneak peak from both Loren Moore and Gwam, who will both be performing on future installments of the Graffiti Sessions (Dec. 4th and Dec. 18th respectively). Major shout-outs to everyone who were in the building that helped made “The Blue Light District” a success (Tommy, Nakeem, James, Nolan, DJ F.F. and DJ S.O.S.) and of course the listeners. We will be back at it this Friday (Nov. 27th) for a “Blacque Friday Special” but in the meantime, sit back and enjoy the fantastic voyage into “The Blue Light District!!”

Never imitated, never will be duplicated, and never forgotten. Rest in Love!! The WU Lives On Forever!!!
