Summer and all it's fun is upon us, and the excitement does not stop at TDSB, continuing to be immersed in the intense poetic aptitudes of southern CA. This past soapbox we featured the talents of the 2011 Brass Knuckles LA Slam Team. The entire team came out and shared their individual styles for the audience at Royal Cup. When I say individual styles I am not entirely sure if that even gives enough credit towards the individual declarative genius' that filled the room on June 24, 2011 as Brass Knuckles totally blew the TDSB crowd out of their seats simply by the words that were spoken.
The 2011 Brass Knuckles LA Slam Team is comprised of the vocal stylings of Judy Holiday , Madison DiNapoli, Ashley Catharine, E. Amato, and Mr. Poetic under the brilliance of Nikki Blak and Judy Holiday. We even got a special treat when Nikki Blak came up to the mic to share a few special words with us all!
The coolest part about the night was definitely when the entire team got SP!T on! Yes folks, the entire team was SP!T on! Big Brother's SP!T Tag was present that night as it is most TDSB gatherings and Brass Knuckles neither shied away nor turned up their noses but wholly embraced the opportunity to get back to the roots of all poets and just share words and a good time with friends new and old.
A huge thanks goes out to all the members of the 2011 Brass Knuckles LA Slam Team for sharing your amazing words and gifts with all of us. We wish you all the best as your profound lyrical journey continue this year! Make LA proud!
Much love, TeamDSB
