Sugar Tongue Slim(STS) is continuing his upward climb and becoming more of a known name. The Roots affiliate whom Creative Beach first saw at the very end of 2009 rip a verbal hole in the stage in D.C. was contacted by Nike for their web series “The Ones”. STS talks about his beginnings as a poet, the city of Philadelphia and his love of sneakers or as he puts it “If it doesn’t have a check, it ain’t right”.
Sneaker Heads Unite! …A fresh pair of dunks please
The Roots are officially back. They have just announced their latest studio album entitled “Undun”. This is a powerful single to introduce to the masses because it’s very reflective and glides along until you’re thinking “that’s it, it’s over” then you go back and play it again. So press play and then press play again and so on.
The movie Yelling To The Sky made noise of a release in late 2010 but since the beginning of 2011 the movie has been making the rounds on the festival circuit; first premiering at the Berlin Film Festival. The movie has also premiered at SXSW and now will be featured at the Gen Art Film Festival this week on June 9th. Yelling To The Sky stars Zoe Kravitz and is a coming of age story set in Queens, NYC. Check out the official trailer.
Who says you can’t have it all…if you want to wash your clothes AND listen to the 4th annual Roots Picnic, now you can! If you aren’t able to attend the festivities don’t worry; local Philly station WXPN will have a live broadcast of the Roots Picnic main stage starting at 1pm today! The broadcast will not only feature live performances but interviews with the artists. Soooo you all don’t need to go anywhere! Stay right here at Creative Beach and party all day. Open a window, let the sunshine in, whatever you want to do. Hang out with Creative Beach at the Roots Picnic. You can even make a cheesesteak to help(I know it’s not straight from philly, put some cheese wiz on it though)
