[EVENT] Jo Jo to Perform In Nashville, TN | SEEN, May 24th

American pop/r&B artist Jo Jo will be making her way back to Nashville, TN this spring. We were delighted to welcome the 22 year old diva last year at local venue, Mai. Now, the platinum recording artist will make her way back to Music City at local venue, SEEN for a live performance on May 24th. You may recall Jo Jo recently releasing her latest video for Andre, which stands as an ode to Andre 3000. With the continued success of this singer/songwriter/actress, the event is sure to be one you do not want to miss. Tickets are available for 15.00 and features opening support from Kevin Perryman & Teen Gangzz. Purchase tickets to see Jo Jo here.

JoJo became a recognized singer at the young age of thirteen when she released her first single “Get Out (Leave),” and also became the youngest solo artist ever to receive a number one Billboard hit title, then returning to the spotlight in 2011 to release her “Demonstrate” single with plenty of sexy vibes from the once child star.

According to Billboard, the single “combines an airy, minimalist approach to R&B with a yearning sexuality that re-contextualizes the Massachusetts-bred singer for pop fans who only know her through “Leave (Get Out),” a catchy breakup single she released at the age of 14.” Months prior, JoJo tossed out a remix of Drake’s single “Marvin’s Room” in June, swapping out the rapper’s vocals for her own, which instantly received 30 Million views on YouTube.

Be on the look out for special chances at  free tickets to see Jo Jo live in Nashville on May 24, 2013 via 2Ls On A Cloud! Until then, check out Jo Jo’s most recent project, Agape below. RSVP via Facebook now!

[EVENT] Curren$y Live in Nashville, TN (Photo Recap)

 

Last week, Curren$y returned to Nashville, TN and performed in front of a packed house at Limelight Entertainment. The show jumpstarted  with opening performances from Nashville’s B-Hoody, Ducko McFli, and Dee Goodz. With strict security, the show wasn’t as cloudy as some may have expected it to be, but Curren$y did not allow soberity to effect his performance. Nonetheless, the crowd showed mad love. He laced the crowd with tracks from projects including Priest Andretti, Pilot Talk 2, Fast Times At Ridgemont Fly, The Stoned Immaculate, and quite a few more. A special guest arrived also. Jet Lifer, Cornerboy P, graced the stage alongside Spitta to bless the crowd with his verse from “Motion“.
Every fan was in full Jet Life mode by making sure Spitta had a memorable moment in Music City. From rapping every lyric to vibing to the music, Nashville left a positive impression in Curren$y’s mind. A lot of “gifts” were thrown on stage and Curren$y had no choice but to feel the love from the crowd.
After his performace, Curren$y made sure to show his fans even more love by going into the crowd, signing autographs and posing for pictures. The 2Lsonacloud staff was in the building and our contributing photographer, Davion Baxter snapped a few shots. Be on the lookout for a few more announcements of shows in the near future.
