Another amazing opening at the HVW8 Gallery in Los Angeles, Ca.

Bronx-born photographer and filmmaker Lisa Leone came of age in the 1980s with hip-hop and a camera. Her candid portraits capture iconic hip-hop artists at the early stages of their careers including Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige and A Tribe Called Quest.

We were lucky to have DJ Jermey Sole bring some of this music to the opening night. We just hit record .... and here are the results.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon here in Los Angeles. Friends J*Davey set up for an intimate set of carefully picked tracks. Those brave enough to roll through the nasty weather to the HVW8 Art + Design Gallery were lucky enough to see, hear and get up close and personal with the duo.
Listen in on the session with us...
