Fresh Vibe Presents OAKLAND IN BLUE

Oakland in BLUE which is held at SOMAR BAR (located in Downtown Oakland) is what it sounds. Its a revival it has elements of Harlem (w)renassace style, Oaktown Hip Hop at its finest, a liberation, a reflection of Oakland's brilliant and beautiful as well as diverse culture. The vision was started by Dat and I stand as one of the many people in his corner and on the team to promote that vision. About nine months ago when Oakland made the National news in the face of too much violence a good friend said to me when I conveyed mixed feeling about moving back to the hood that raised me that "Oakland needs Love, and its our job as artists to paint a picture of Peace in these times" This movement is a great way to do just that, to have a whole bunch of beautiful Town people with no violence all getting down to good Jams and celebrating life and expressing themselves.

It is beautiful to see an artist like DO DAT repping for Oakland in such a fresh way. Along with his sister Isis G and many other fly artists to share the stage he has created: Oakland in Blue (following his second solo album titles just that) His flow/style/lyrical talent is ridiculous. He is a true artist continuing to explore new sounds while staying true to himself.
