Street Justice is a Detroit based hip hop group dedicated to bringing memorable stage performances back to the genre. They’ve opened up for Talib Kweli, E-40, and Phat Kat, among others, performed at many local events such as The People’s Art Festival, and have been nominated by the Detroit Music Awards for “hip-hop group of the year,” “mixtape of the year,” and “hip-hop song of the year.” Read More…
October 14-16th, 2010 | BlogWorldExpo | Mandalay Bay Convention Center
We had the pleasure of attending our first BlogWorldExpo this past October at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Those of you who know me personally would probably suggest the real reason we attended wasn’t for the networking opportunities, nor the great speakers and presentations, but rather to play poker and drink free whiskey.
Well, you’re wrong…and right. Read More…
September 29th, 2010 | TEDxDetroit | Detroit Institute of the Arts
The area’s leading creators, catalysts, entrepreneurs, and artists gathered to share what they are most passionate about — positive ideas for Detroit.
TED is an annual event where the top minds in the world share, connect and inspire. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design — three subjects that, collectively, shape our future. Read more…

September 11th, 2010 | Emerge and See | The Crofoot Complex
Emerge and See is an annual live local art and music fusion event featuring some of the area’s best creative individuals. Our goal is to bring the community together to witness a night of artists, authors and musicians with a do it together attitude rather than a do it yourself attitude. There were live performances by bands, DJs, emcees, breakdancers, graffiti artists and screen printers.
We had over 500 attendees and press and interviews from The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, Metromix, Metro Times, Real Detroit, and more. Read more…

The Detroit hip hop scene has always been about originality, passion and dedication. But today it’s being misrepresented. Radio no longer looks to the streets to find a hit; they choose tracks based on what they can position in retail… and then they call it hip hop.
We’re flipping the scales so they weigh in favor of the artists… to represent ourselves, our culture and measure our own success.
Freshtight Designs brings to you some of the most influential voices, minds and styles in the hip hop community.
DJs, emcees, graffiti writers, breakdancers, artists, networking and more…
