Chaly Money – Luv me, Hate me (by blockandskrooge863)

Harlem, Florida is an unincorporated community just outside of Clewiston. It’s home to the annual Brown Sugar Festival, and a wealth of rap talent, including Chaly Money. 

In South Memphis Saturday morning April 7, I stumbled accidentally upon this Bikers and Social Clubs 4 Change rally, where a gospel rap concert was in progress. #MemphisRising

The Southern Entertainment Awards (SEA) are held in Memphis, Tennessee every year in March. The event consists of a trade show, industry workshops and panels, performance showcases, and a Sunday awards event. SEA is one of the premier urban music events in the Southeast, and brings a considerable amount of revenue and visibility to Memphis. Keep up with the SEA at http://www.southernentawards.com.

HipHop Around The Lake – Music

Lake Okeechobee and the cities around it like Clewiston, Harlem, Pahokee and Belle Glade aren’t the Florida pictured in tourist guides. Life in these parts can be rough indeed (Belle Glade was once used by the State Department to train employees for Third World conditions), but the area is a hotbed for athletic talent and music talent. The Big O Hip-Hop is a site dedicated to the rap music of the Lake Okeechobee region, and is well worth checking out.
