📸 NETWORKING EVENT RECAP
Slick Rick's Birthday Party in Brooklyn

This month, we've been forging some incredible connections. At the Knicks MLK Day game last week, we connected with the amazing singer/songwriter Tarrey Torrae, also known for lending her vocals to Hip Hop legend Slick Rick. Tarrey graciously invited us to Slick Rick's 13th Annual Birthday party and concert at Brooklyn Bowl this past Friday. It was an unforgettable night featuring Slick Rick performing his hits and appearances by hip hop giants like Big Daddy Kane, Busta Rhymes, Chubb Rock, Large Professor, and more. The vibe was pure New York – electric energy and genuine love!
