Dwntwn Sessions with DrewID

DrewID of Speach Impediments performs "Hip Hop Heaven" at Dwntwn La Mirada in the first installment of Dwntwn Sessions.

Dwntwn Sessions will be a brand new facet where we take artists we have developed a relationship with and present a close up, one-on-one video of their work. We want to showcase the talent we surround ourselves with at Dwntwn and what better way than by showing you all through video. Dwntwn Sessions will continue to grow and expand across all avenues of art we involve ourselves and give you a unique take on an artists perspective.

DrewID of Speach Impediments is our first featured artist performing "Hip Hop Heaven" with DJ Quest 9 backing him up. The video is shot on the stage of our first storefront in La Mirada with two huge murals of Los Angeles as the back drop to this intimate live performance. "Hip Hop Heaven" takes you through all of the greats that have come and gone before us and helped show other artists how to survive and succeed in the game. The "Stairway to Heaven" sample starts out the track putting everyone in the mood to pay homage to some of the greats that we miss today. The list goes from O.D.B. all the way to Heath Ledger as DrewID gives props to a broad range of influences that have helped shape him into the lyricist he is today. With his constant hustle DrewID has gotten to perform with some living legends as well like KRS-One, Dead Prez, Sage Francis, and The Pharcyde when they made their way through Southern California. We are proud to work with such a focused artist who embodies the hustle and work ethic we encourage amongst ourselves and those around us.
