Performing Overseas

So yeah I recently had the pleasure to perform in Athens, Greece...Shouts out to Glyfada and Athens, Greece. I was out there for a 2 week vacay also. I performed at this banging club downtown in Athens called Guzel...It was crazy because it was my show..I was the opening act and headliner at the same time...which was wild but anyway...I was nervous how they would take to my music because of the language barrier and this was my first time performing overseas, the date was April 7th 2009 on a Tuesday, my cuzzins bday is the same day which was dope, but anyway I soon learned that it didnt matter...the place was packed 1000+ folks...shouts out to Gifted :)...

I remember them dimming the lights and Gifted introducing me and the place went wild...I love the energy cross seas..its a whole nother animal..its all love yo...the crowd was participating throwing they hands up..head nodding..dancing hard as shit(the bartenders) lmao...After I rocked my adrenaline was at an all time high yall..craziness...it was like crack..I wanted more! Out of that whole experience the thing that stuck out is the love that I got from everyone after I was done performing..Ive gained fans and new friends from that experience...Much love to Greece..I'll be back..Thanks Solana and Lynn...

Here is some information on their project:

The Big Pay Back is a significatn part of a larger project entitled Raw Talent: A Philadelphia Hip Hop Dance Documentary. It is designed to uncover the lost and forgotten pioneers in events, location, and archives to prove and finally document Philadelphia's vital contribution to Hip Hop Culture. They will interview some of Philadelphia's women pioneers in dance, djing and emceeing, whose involvement has been pivotal, but they have received little to no recognition for their work.
