Kristina’s summer concert series continued last night with the one and only Lil Wayne. She gave us her take on the experience…

Last night I stopped by the Lil Wayne aka Weezy, “I AM STILL MUSIC” tour at PNC Arts Center in NJ. During Rick Ross’s opening act Weezy appeared in the middle of the crowd and was lifted up into the air by his fans. Truly an artist for the people, he was fueled by the energy of the crowd. For almost two hours he manically ran around the stage giving a vibrant performance. At only 28yrs old I would dare to say that he is the new Jay Z and that Cash Money / Young Money Millionaires might be the new ROC-A-FELLA.

Our resident music guru, Greg K. took a trip to Chicago to attend the Pitchfork 2011 music festival. Check out what he’s still listening to all week long!
