L-Smooth Mensah

Notes From The Road: Oklahoma City, OK My first time in Oklahoma City was in 2002 on the God Loves Ugly tour with Atmosphere. Back then, it was one of those cities that had a dope music community trying to make it happen there, but had a hard time getting a lot of traction for hip-hop. Me and other Rhymesayers artists used to play at a spot called The Conservatory all the time that was next door to a record store. The owner (Gianni) used to always book us, even though I don’t think he ever made any money on our shows. In fact, I think he probably lost money on us every time, but he was such a good dude and went hard for his music scene that he just wanted to invest in the culture. There are a lot of cities where the dopest thing about the music scene are the venues and fans coming out, but (for me at least) the people in the music scene in OKC are the dopest thing about it. There are some really good people out here. And they do their damndest to bring dope music here, but it’s still an uphill battle for them. @smoothmensah is one of those quality people. He reached out about an open date he saw on the calendar and we made it happen at his monthly event. We rocked it for the people who made it out, but as usual the highlight was the people. I dead ass have never met a bad person here and I could kick it with them all day. The show wasn’t big, but the people who came out were appreciative and had a great time. I’m glad we did it.
