This past Sunday on December 18th, Gypsy Soul had the opportunity to attend the fifth annual Kicks for Kids Charity Shoe Drive and Concert. This program, which was created by DMV tastemaker Ian Callender is a collaborative community effort to help support children less fortunate or in need in the DC Metropolitan area by way of sneakers.

WPGC's Sunni and WKYS's DJ Iran hosted the event, while DJ Heat and DJ Lil Mic were the masters of music for the evening. Attendees ranged from all different age groups that all came together for the purpose of serving their community. Harmony Musik and The Board Administration's First Lady MZ Sasha opened the show and were received well by the crowd.
Up and coming artist Pro'Verb also graced the stage and did quite a few tracks including "Don't Be Mad", "Get Money" and "All Up in My Face". Uptown XO and Gods'Illa took to the stage as well and performed songs from their latest mix tapes, and the crowd went crazy when King Pen Slim performed "Goosebumps".

Another dope highlight of the evening was the rap cypher that featured local rappers from the DMV. Adversary also known as our local Mr. 106th & Park killed his freestyle and had incredible energy. The cypher definitely displayed how the DMV is making impressive strides in the music scene and there are a host of artists in this area with impeccable talent. In on other words - we got next.
For the main event, Meek Mill did a brief, but awesome set where he opened with "Tupac Back" and closed with his current hit singles "House Party" and "Imma Boss". Black Alley closed the show and they were well worth the wait. During their set celebrity artist and great friend of Gypsy Soul Demont Peekaso did a live painting and as always the band delivered an awesome performance. Their lead singer always brings it on stage and her energy is contagious.
Overall, the Kicks for Kids Charity Shoe Drive and Concert was a great event. By coupling music with acts of service the program was able to donate 500 pairs of shoes ultimately impacting a child this holiday season.
