Last Friday, June 23, 2023, marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of blues and soul music icon Bobby "Blue" Bland. That evening, @rbandthemob , with special guest vocalist @ashton_riker , delivered a heartfelt and emotional performance at @broadstage_sm in Santa Monica, CA, honoring the "Lion of the Blues" led by his son, drummer @theroddbland ! 💙🙏🏾🎶 It was only fitting that after this compelling tribute, we celebrate this concert and milestone by breaking bread and fellowshipping with close friends, new friends, and family! Being that we were in LA, it was only fitting we do it in style, so my damn near lifelong friend, @mademoisellekel , chose steakhouse @eatstk Los Angeles. OH, what a night! Rodd had his hands full with his dinner selection! 🍔🤏🏾😉 Here are a couple of @hotpointmedia Lightbox videos we took to commemorate the evening!

Yesterday Wednesday, September 28, 2022, rapper, record producer, and actor Coolio, real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr., passed away at age 59. When seeing the news of his passing, I instantly remembered the night I had the opportunity to meet him. On Friday, December 19, 2014, @coolio performed during halftime of the @chicagobulls vs. @memgrizz game at the @fedexforum in Memphis, Tennessee. When the game was over, Coolio made his way to the now infamous @club152 on historic @bealestreetmemphis to cap off the night. That is where I took this photo with him. We had a brief convo about his career, music, Memphis, and Kenan & Kel. Though a short encounter, from what I could gather, he was a good and genuine person. Thank you for the music and the memories! I send love, light, healing energy, and prayers of strength to your family and fans in the times ahead. Rest in Gangsta's Paradise, Coolio. 🙏🏿🕊️

Watching the BET Awards 2022 this past Sunday, June 26, 2022, transported me back to the BET Awards 2016, where @kgb377 and I had the pleasure of joining "The President of Afternoon Radio" @devin_steel , who was during this time representing @k97fm and @iheartradio in the Radio Broadcast Center, also known as the Radio Room. At the time, I was the Digital Content Director for @iheartmediaofficial in the Memphis Market and a few others. For KG and I, this was our first time working in the Radio Room and being a part of the BET Experience at @laliveofficial , but rest assured, it will not be our last! From the celebrity encounters to catching up with old industry friends and meeting new ones to dinners and parties and the awards ceremony, it was an adventure to remember. There are more than a few EPIC stories from that weekend! Special thanks to Devin for letting us tag along! #BETAwards #CulturesBiggestNight #BET - The photos are from @thebosco BET Awards Fan Photo Booth. 📷🏆 • #betweekend #awards #awardshow #redcarpet #losangeles #la #dtla #california #hollywood #microsofttheater #blackexcellence #radio #radioroom #k97fm #iheartradio #iheartmedia #wheatrobinson #shotbykg #devinsteel #streetsavvyunltd #thebosco #photobooth #freshphamily #wetoofreshphamily #fpcmmxiii #neweracap #betamcdphoto

Memorial Day Weekend 2022! @verzuztv Presents 8Ball & MJG vz UGK 🔥🔥 LIVE from @cityofatlantaga ! TONIGHT, Thursday, May 26, 2022, 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET on all #VERZUZTV socials. Text VERZUZ to 855-968-1499 for updates! #VERZUZ I've had the pleasure of knowing @8ightball and @pimptypemjg for many years. From my stints working in radio at @hot1071 and @k97fm /@iheartradio to promoting events at @curtis_givens @cgientertainment establishments to numerous studio sessions, and performances, and everywhere in between, it's been an honor being in the presence of Living Legends in their element! I've valued every experience along the way, especially as a fan and admirer who grew up listening to their music. They deserve all the flowers they are receiving right now and more! Though I'm also a big fan of UGK, the home team is bringing this win home to the Ⓜ️-Town! TWO FINGERS ROUND, THREE FINGERS DOWN! 🍊〽️ The first and second photo is from Sunday, November 4, 2012, at @club152 on historic @bealestreetmemphis in @downtownmemphis with @kellyjoepotter , @aielashaman , @kgb377 , @all_day27 , and @8ightball . The third photo is from Saturday, January 3, 2015, after a late-night studio session with @sky_nizzy , @toriwhodat , @kingmugzi , @rosegoldjones , @wentallin , @8ightball , and @pimptypemjg .

Our @memgrizz embarrassed the @warriors in a 39-point blowout victory to win Game 5 of the 2022 @nba Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals Round 2 at @fedexforum in @downtownmemphis . To say the @citymemphis was on one would be an understatement! For as long as I can remember, basketball has been able to bring my city together and Wednesday, May 11, 2022, was a shining example of that fact! I got a chance to see a lot of folks that are near and dear to my heart for the first time in a long time that night. From enjoying the game with my little brother @justakidfrom_memphis and his girlfriend @holcombk4 to seeing my buddy @zmyersofficial of @shinedown as we left the building and having a late-night dinner and drinks at @bluescitycafe with @djwoowoo , among a night of other things and great people! Not to mention we bumped into @_dbane1 at dinner! Let's put in that work again for Game 6 tonight and bring it back to The Ⓜ️-Town! Shoutout to @drummaboyfresh , @alkaponememphis , @frayserbizzle , and @therealmemphitz for putting on for the city! #GoGrizz 〽️🐻🏀 P.S. I was only able to get two photos and a few videos before my phone died, but moments like these, you never forget!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kel Mitchell! • Nickelodeon Kenan & Kel and All That were two of my favorite 1990s TV shows, while-watching I could imagine how fun it would be to be a part of either cast. During a vacation to @universalorlando in the late 90s, I tried my best to figure out how to get an audition or at least a seat in the live studio audience to no avail. • After years of admiring his work, on Wednesday, June 12, 2019, I finally got the opportunity to meet @iamkelmitchell during a Good Burger screening and @allthat preview hosted by him at Malco Summer Drive-In in Memphis, Tennessee, put together by @nickelodeon in celebration of the return of the series. Happy I was able to share this moment and fun movie night with four of my favorite people! Special thanks to @djepic for the assist in getting this photo opp. • Here's a fun animation I created to commemorate the event! 📺🤣

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! • Let’s celebrate and recognize the contributions of fathers and all men in leadership roles lending a hand in guiding the upbringing of a child, on this Father’s Day! Being a father isn’t about genetics and a title. If you’re assisting in the raising a child, this is your day. #Salute to all the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, stepdads, foster dads, big brothers, big cousins, teachers, coaches, scout leaders, mentors and father figures. • As a part of @streetsavvyunltd , I’m honored to be partnering with @thelewisagency in bringing the @imafatherf1rst initiative to Memphis in an effort to help eradicate the epidemic that is fatherlessness in our community! • #StreetSavvyUNLTD | #ImAFatherF1rst

TOMORROW, Wednesday, July 20, 2016 let your voice be heard with #CityOfMemphis leaders regarding the violence plaguing our streets, the divide between community and police, education and how we can join together in the near future to make for a better #MemphisTenneessee for us all! Join the conversation on our @iheartmediamemphis #Memphis family of radio stations! #OneMemphis #iHeartRadio
