“The electric lady did not lie, and her back up team of ten dancers and musicians kept the crowd alive with dazzling smiles and swift kicks. The “I Want You Back” Jackson 5 cover and accompanying dances reminded us that if MJ was the master, then Janelle Monae is the mistress of the moonwalk. Rather than just crowd surf, this Q.U.E.E.N. swam her way through the Kool Haus.”

Mykki Blanco tore his way thru Bambi’s in Toronto with an energy & ferocity  that was raw & soulful . His rhymes were as tight as his weave. He didn’t miss a beat and the crowd was right behind him. What a perfect way to cap off a birthday weekend. Check out the photos from the show and Mykki’s amazing video for “Wavvy” directed by Francesco Carrozzini.
