By the grace of God himself (and by having a super fly hook-up as well), the RE family were lucky enough to grace Terminal 5 with our presence for the finale of the Hennessy Artistry Tourft. Common and The Roots. Along with the usual high-class society folks and celebrity guests (yo, Robin Thicke’s wife is HAWT!), we were able to mingle with fellow beat heads for several high energy performances and insane real-time mashup/collabos. Oh, and we got to slam copious amounts of Hennessy Cognac in the process, which despite having a bottle heavy enough to smash a back windshield on a 2001 Honda Civic (read: someone did this to me), is still pretty tasty with just about everything save for bacon.
We wouldn’t know. We’ve just never tried it with bacon.
You can’t really go wrong with a free concert with performances by some of the biggest names in hip hop and the concert was sick (especially Common).
Check out a performance of “Bonita” featuring Common, The Roots and Q-Tip (as well as photos) “after the jump”

Radio Exile is a work of love and devotion to this glorious, bloggy hype machine that can elevate the artists we love to stars. Consider this a sampling of what you "should" be listening to, and if you like what you hear, buy the albums and support the careers of these artists.
