Tom P performs at "Leaders of the New Cool" and leaves a mark.

At Thursday's show, rappers Tom P and BrandUn DeShay were easy standouts with P's signature fast paced rhymes and DeShay's smooth self-made beats and easy flow. Ohio rap group Fly Union arguably stole the show however after performing tracks from their popular The Greater Than mixtape. Other performers included rapper O.G. Boo Dirty, FSM, Jose Guapo, FKI, Young Scolla and Purple Ribbon's Black Owned C-Bone. Rap group FSM, short for Flight School Music, also gave a high energy performance before Baltimore rapper Mully Man jumped into the crowd. - See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2011/05/02/tom-p-brandun-deshay-and-fly-union-take-over-leaders-of-the-new-cool-atlanta-video/#sthash.VrYsaTw4.dpuf

Allagreen Part II: Tom P gets invited to headline again the next night!


Here's a bunch of pictures from our adventures in Brunswick GA performing at the Allegreen music festival. We had a blast. Make sure you watch the video TmcG put together. It showcases the weekend pretty well. Just scroll to the bottom of all the pics.

















Tom P headlines the Allegreen Music Festival Monster Energy Stage







Tom P headlines "The Soap Box" after opening for B.O.B at UNCW. 2 shows 1 night.

As I was saying in my previous post, we had a show booked at UNCW, performing at a spot called "The Soap Box." I found out B.O.B was performing the same night down the street at the campus itself. So, I hit him and Tre up to see if I could come do some songs since I would already be in the area. Shit worked out and we ended up rocking out for a packed gymnasium full of college kids and got to plug our gig on stage while we were at it. Obviously, the first was crazier than ours, but it was still a pretty good turn out and the people who came all seemed to have a good time. Afterwards we all went out to party in Wilmington and had some good times. Here's a few pictures I could find from the occasion.





Tom P opens for B.O.B at UNCW

I linked up with my old buddies B.O.B and Playboy Tre out in Wilmington and got a spur of the moment chance to open up for them at UNCW campus. The show was in the gymnasium and the place was packed full of college kids. I already had a show booked in Wilmington at a smaller venue down the street called "The Soap Box" so it worked out well. I hit up Tre and Bob when I realized we would both be in Wilmington and they were down to give me the spot. Afterwards the gang and I went and headlined our own show down the street. Great night.

Here's some pics from the performance as well as a few behind the scenes pics from us practicing before the show.
