FRIDAY NIGHT AT LPR WAS A SUCCESS!
Kevin Powell’s 11th Annual Holiday Fundraiser was amazing with DJ Pete Rock and over 1,000 people donating hats scarves and coats for Safe Horizon’s Streetwork Project, a non profit that provides a safe harbor for women and children leaving abusive relationships.
We were proud to be a part of this and grateful to be center stage and provide artistic entertainment for all the attendees!
Artists Marthalicia Mattarita, Lexi Bella, Giannina Gutierezz, ANdre Trenier and Sean Bono were dynamic painting to the amazing sounds of the classic Pete Rock. Sean and Dre collabed on a portrait of Pete Rock and presented him with it at the end of the night. Great times had by all!
Also Thank you to THE SOLO FOUNDATION for making this possible!

WE WANT TO SPOTLIGHT OUR AMAZING MC FLACO NAVAJA!
Here’s a little bit about our incredible Bi-Lingual Multi Talented MC!
Flaco Navaja is a singer, poet, actor, who is born and raised in the
Bronx. He sings in both Spanish and English and has toured with
various groups across the globe.
If Héctor Lavoe Boxed Rubén Blades and KRS-1 was the referee you’d get
Flaco. A Nostalgic old sound with brand new spoken word.
Navaja’s original style of poetry combines singing, beat-boxing, and
spoken word. He was the host of the legendary open mic showcase; “All
That! Hip Hop Poetry & Jazz” at the famous Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe. He
has performed at national and international venues and events. In
2003, he toured internationally with the Tony Award winning Russell
Simmons’ DEF POETRY JAM and he has appeared on four episodes of the
HBO series.
Navaja is a member of Screen Actors Guild and has appeared in several
films & television shows. Including PRIDE & GLORY, FIGHTING, GUN HILL
