Ahhh, yet ANOTHER function that you guys missed out on. Last night, Marquee in downtown Manhattan was the PLACE to be as Missy and her team celebrated her very special surprise birthday bash thrown by James Cruz (SRC). Me and my homey Eric hit the spot EXTREMELY early and as soon as we stepped in the line, the door man gave us this “Ha, Yea right fellaz” look. What made it even more amusing is when I told him my name and who’s list it was under, his face turned pretty sour lol. Without being searched (very odd), we breezed right in.

When I tell you we were literally the FIRST ones in attendance, I lie to you not. We found a spot, posted up and just watched as the lovely ladies and daper dudes piled right on in. Though we were kind of out of our element, a couple of young tender roni’s made us feel right at home and that’s when the party began to pick up. Within the 30 minutes, that placed turned into a COMPLETE ZOO! Every room was packed to it’s capacity and surprisingly, we were still able to maneuver without a hitch! Anyway, check out some EXCLUSIVE pics below (A majority of the photos were provided by Johnny Nunez and Joe Kohen).

I rarely like to brag about functions, well non work related functions, I attend, but gosh darn damn, this probably had to be one of the BEST….EVER! After browising the internets, I noticed that these EXCLUSIVE pictures were obsolete from allll the other music blogs, so I guess it wouldn’t hurt if I provided you guys with an inside look at Steve Rifkind (Founder of Loud Records) and James Cruz’s (SRC) BET Awards After, After Party at Steve Rifkind’s estate in honor of Stephen Hill. Yes, this party…..WAS THAT DEAL! Don’t believe me, scroll down for the pics!
