The may have been from California but knew where they were, and rocked Ken Griffey, Jr.'s signature sneakers accordingly.
Super high energy from the crowd.
Evidence of Dilated Peoples joined Fashawn for a portion of his set. His wisdom: It's easy to rock 1000 people. Rocking 100 is hard.

“With a premium placed on maturity, it’s easy to forget hip-hop’s roots are in youth. But 22-year-old Fresno rapper Fashawn, who dropped his wave-making debut Boy Meets World when he was still shy of drinking age, proves that’s just a number when the discussion turns to talent…” Fans were not disappointed last night as Fashawn – joined by Grynch, Wizdom, and Evidence of Dilated Peoples – brought some amazing energy to the stage at Nectar.Photos by Nick Feldman.Published on March 3, 2011
