So, I am hoping that one of our ‘creative writers’ will step up and write up a nice review of the Comp Cd release party and our first Recess session (which will be happening one Wednesday a month), but until then, here are a few images I managed to capture throughout the night that will give a visual recap of what went down and what you missed if you weren’t there. If you were there, thank you, and I know I’ll see you at the next one because there is nothing else like this going on in Orlando!
AmIAm rapping at the Second Subject Cd Release Party at the Social, Orlando
AmIAm was the first to get on stage and came with straight rhymes, fast and precise, he started the night off right. He ended his set with his track from the comp cd, Who I Am, which got the crowd awake and ready to roll for the rest of the night.
Next up was Kaleigh Baker. For her first few songs, she was accompanied by HOMME (the newly formed female vocal group featuring Alexandrah, Olivia Wynn, Kaleigh Baker and Heather Freedman). After the soothing start, she got a little louder with help from Orlando locals Shak Nasti.

Swam rapped to the improvised set of Beef and Divinci
Beef Wellington and Divinci have been playing these improvised sets all over Orlando for the past few months (Full Sail, Social, Wills Pub, Apple Stores, etc..). They jump on stage and just start going, doing what they do best, creating funky beats and unique sounds that blend seamlessly together. Swam jumped up and grabbed the mic and gave everyone a free clinic session on the art of speedy, yet pronunciated delivery.

Next up was S.K.I.P., who was accompanied by his live band including members of the Oaks. S.K.I.P. played some stuff off his Peanut Butter & Raman Mixtape Collection, as well as stuff from his upcoming album, and his entry from the Comp cd, Red vs. Blue, which was definitely a crowd pleaser. (Word around El Coqui is that there is a video in the works for this song, so keep your eyes peeled)
Adeem of Glu performs in Orlando Florida for the Second Subject CD Release Party
And for the final set, and possibly my favorite set all night was Adeem. Adeem is a member of Glu and currently lives in New Hampshire. I met Adeem for the first time earlier that day, and had never heard any of his music. I was not expecting what he brought out that night. He came with energy and force and pretty much set himself up as the definitive argument against anyone who thinks white boys can’t rap. To end his set he jumped down into the crowd and got everyone to join him in the pit, including the folks that stand in the back of the show with their arms crossed not moving…. EVERYONE was moving and I don’t think there could have been a better way to end the night, as the whole idea that leads us as Second Subject is to get all types of people together and passionate about the common goals of art, music, formation of community and self-improvement.
Second Subject is an Arts Label based in Orlando Florida, supporting music, art, photography, and creative writing
