What a way to finish off 2019 for Young Stitch and his new group the Lunch Room Poetz, with a wild mixtape release event on a Friday night in mid-December at the Galley in Whitby.
This event featured multiple supporting artists including the seasoned vet emcee Zaze, the east end’s 420 Klick and DJ Mercilless holding down the 1’s and 2’s all night. When the Lunch Room Poetz hit the stage to close out the event they did not disappoint, performing nearly all the songs on their new Class in Session and also a few new unreleased tracks that will see the light of day later this year.
The energy and the crowd interaction during the LRP’s set way was incredible to see with a performance vibe reminiscent of a Wu-Tang set. The stage was done up properly; equipped with a smoke machine and a neon light set to illuminate the venue which made for a great vibe.
Coincidentally, the LRP’s were using this opportunity to film a new music video so the event was captured in a new visual titled “Poetz Nation (Westside Connection – Gangsta Nation Remix).” The video was filmed by Dimitri Apostolos and Rashaad Duncan, and editing was handled by Shy The BeatYoda and B1 The Architect.
You can find the “Poetz Nation” video below along with some additional photos from the release party.
