Voice of Da City
Continuing to push the Culture forward, J’TA is one of the new faces of Gogo Music taking the nation’s capitol by storm. From the hit CCB single “Optimistic”, to rocking Noochie’s “Front Porch Freestyles” with TOB, to headlining the Women of Gogo performances at the Mayor’s Keep the Beat Week celebration at the Alumni Spot. The Voice of the city is bringing that soul of Gogo back into the spotlight and deserves all the praise she’s getting.
Church on Sunday!
Finally made it to a Church on Sundays function! Ive known about these parties since the inception and never could muster up the energy to go out at night if it wasn’t a paid gig. Sunday it just so happened the Alumni Spot hosted “Church on Sundays” and let me tell you, I been missing out. Great Vibes, DJ rocking, and endless pics!
One Time For The Camera Man
In a world where your instagram profile is as important as your resume and every moment is documented whether its a birthday fit or a night out with the gang. But with everyone having a camera phone, the lack of respect for actual photographers is at an all time high lol.That being said, one of the greatest things about the Alumni is the Professional Photo Booth and being able to get that printed photo like back in the Gogo. Maybe its me being “old” but that was our first IG, a wall full of Gogo pictures.
IYKYK
Have you ever been to an invite-only Gogo?
Well its a GoonMilk Roll Call!
I'm A Creative Genius
The Ten Year Anniversary Gallery was an amazing experience. Not only did the Brand receive so much love from the gang and my support system but from total strangers as well. Showcasing 26 original portraits with AR capabilities that blew people away as they recorded each piece on their phone. Toasted to the great times of the past and the ones to come in the near future.
Mama I made it!
If you read my blog you know I recently was apart of LongLiveGogoDC’s Mumbo Connection Fashion Show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only did I walk in my first fashion show but had the opportunity to have my own scene to present my brand as well. It was a last minute opportunity I wasn’t gonna pass up.
Project KKIDD Cookout
Major shoutout to IDK and the Clue team for throwing a dope event Monday at the Oakcrest Community Center in my hometown city of Capitol Heights, Maryland. Also thank you to the homie James for plugging me with the Project KKIDD team to print the jerseys and staff shirts for the event. Not only was it my pleasure doing business but it felt good giving back to our community here in PG County. As well as seeing all my guys hooping, Getting a couple autographs from IDK and Quinn on my Lakers Jersey, and a free Gogo show. Ash and I had a ball and its funny because a year ago we were just meeting at a free new impressions show for the community. Our Baby’s gonna have gogo in his/her blood for sure lol our little bounce beat baby.
