Catalyst Saturday Mic Live 12.19.15 Event Summary
Saturday, December 19th I went to Saturday Mic Live at Catalyst Hip-Hop. I had gone to an amazing Bboy Jam earlier in the day. Every Saturday the good people at Catalyst open up the church building to the public. This place is so hip-hop and so positive it’s amazing.
Downstairs they a big white wall open for graffiti, and I’ve seen some talented artists out at this event tagging gorgeous works of art. I’ve always loved graffiti, but it’s not something that is easy to meet people in that world. Obviously because graffiti is generally illegal it’s hard to meet graffiti artists.
Upstairs there are two rooms that I spend most of my time at Catalyst in. First they have a Bboy room equipped with PA speakers and a good hardwood floor for breaking. They also have a padded area to practice more dangerous moves on. The area is great, the walls are decked out with graffiti, and they have mirrors for you to see how you look. The level of the Bboys there is very high. It’s a good place to get advice and grow your skills.
The other room upstairs is dedicated to emceeing. They have a small stage and a lounge area where you can chill out. They one monthly performance in the room, but most nights are freestyles. They have really nice wireless mics and sound equipment. The sound quality is excellent. That makes performing there even more fun.
I met up with some old friends from C.Y.P.H.E.R there. Laces, Kadeef, Dermo, Mario, and Ryan. They are all dope people. It was awesome to be reuniting with them. I spent a few hours MCing with the homies kicking freestyles, and talking about the good ol’ days. Catalyst has such a positive atmosphere it’s hard to go there and not have a good time.
I’m not going to lie ;I was tired as hell at Catalyst. I got home late from that Robson show the night before, but I still had a ton of fun while I was there. Robson‘s environment so positive it was hard not to.
I’m really thankful to have a spot like Catalyst around. I hope to be out there next Saturday, and I’m looking forward to their next big event.
