If you are a self professed soul star, there was no reason in the world you shouldn’t have been at Lola last Saturday night. The place was illed to the gills as the crowd was set and ready to engage in the funky beats of world renowned DJ Rich Medina. Our very own DJ Nappy Needles opened the set while goin’ hard on the decks. Once Medina took center stage, there was no stoppin’ the party. Selections rendered proved that Medina is a true music lover while spewin’ out funk, soul, and Afrobeat bound to be found deep in a records crate. There was not a dry shape in the house as one couldn’t keep still on Lou Rawls and Jackson 5 cuts rendered. I for one was glad that the masses were sure to utilize a sturdy deodorant because Lola was on ire only a few hours in. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one rockin’ sweat stains as Medina brought universal grooves and rocked the St. Louis down.
