Old SOUL Entertainment Atlanta, Dallas, Cincinnati, Louisville, LA, NYC and Indy are coming together for the first time in our history to bring you "The Light"

This is the BIGGEST Party we've hosted in our 6 year history so of course we had to pick an amazing venue. The party will be at Adobo Grill in Downtown Indy. By far, Adobo Grill is one of the most attractive venues in Indy. And of course we had to bring you the best in DJs. DJ MetroGnome and DJ Lockstar will be keeping the pace. Of course the one and only J.Moore will be on the mic.

Why the name The Light?
If you've met any member of Old SOUL Entertainment, no matter what city the encounter took place, the common thing that we hear is we have a good energy. That energy is The Light. Old SOUL Entertainment recognized this from conception and that is why the Old SOUL Logo incorporates the Sun which is the ultimate light source. As the Sun sheds light on our planet, Old SOUL Entertainment is here to shed light on the arts and individuality.

What is the significance of July 8th?
Seven years ago to the date, founding members of Old SOUL Entertainment sat down together and began to brain storm on a concept that had not been attempted on this scale in Indy. To create a sustainable outlet for music, the arts and culture, that was not based on anything other than an appreciation of the 3. A place where you did not have to have a certain income, a certain level of education or a thousand dollar wardrobe to be welcome. All that would be required would be a pure love for the culture. That concept became Old SOUL Entertainment. This is something to celebrate.

About Jillian “”JJ” Simmons, Founder of JJ’s “I’m Me” Foundation.

The Cincinnati, Ohio native (and her parents) learned early that her place was behind the microphone. In 1998, Jillian’s professional radio career began at WROU-FM in Dayton, Ohio where she held down a weekend host position.

She switched dials to WIZF-FM in her hometown of Cincinnati in 2000. Life changed for her when she packed her headphones and moved to The Big Apple – New York City in February, 2001 – seven months before September 11th. She landed a spot at legendary WBLS-FM where she worked alongside “The Queen of all Media”, Wendy Williams.

In 2002, JJ relocated to Indianapolis to take a job as the midday host on Hot 96.3-FM where she’s served as Assistant Program Director in addition to her duties as a host on Indy Music Channel’s “Freestyle”.

Over the years, she’s interviewed many of your favorites entertainers as well as the 44th President of the United States, Barak Obama. In 2010, JJ was invited to Washington, DC by the Congressional Black Caucus to speak on Hip-Hop’s impact on the American political landscape.

As she approaches her tenth year as Indy’s midday voice, the proud mommy continues to champion community causes such as prenatal care in underprivileged communities, AIDS awareness and voter education.

“Two of my uncles died from this disease because they didn’t know their status until it was too late. They could both be living today had they known and were able to receive the proper medication.” Due to her personal connection with HIV/AIDS, JJ began her “J Darcey AIDS Foundation” in 2006 to help bring education and awareness to the community about HIV and the importance of getting tested.

After 5 years, JJ decided to rename her foundation and open up the doors to teen girls and young women with projects that provide positive social experiences, character building training and self worth to young women through education and entertainment. In 2010, JJ presented JJ’s “I’m Me” Foundation.

Old SOUL Entertainment and Spencer & Nate (First Fridays Indy) have joined forces to create "The Collective". This is kind of like Voltron. Ok, maybe you don't understand that reference. It's like Jay-Z and R.Kelly joining forces...wait that happened and it didn't work out. Ok, I got it. It's like Jay-Z and Beyonce joining forces. The point is, 2 of the Premier Social / Cultural / Entertainment groups have joined forces to bring you an AMAZING night...!!

The best of First Fridays and Soul Sessions in one night with a different spin on it. We can't give you all the details. You have to come and experience it. The 2 things to know are that it's going to be packed and you will be dancing the whole night. This is one you might want to be on time for.

We've also enlisted 2 of the premier DJ's in the Midwest. The sounds of DJs MetroGnome & Action Jackson will be setting the pace on the turntables (these are 2 of our favorite deejays!!).

In classic Soul Session honor, we will have a fine art gallery display from the broken vinyl artist, Lobyn Hamilton. http://www.vinylrecordartist.com/

Creating buzz throughout the country, Lobyn Hamilton's work has been in high demand. From creating the signature J.Dilla Tribute art for Old SOUL Entertainment to displaying work at Trump Resorts, he is the artist to watch out for. His signature pieces are designed from broken/discarded pieces of vinyl records. His attention to detail is unparalleled.

Join us Saturday, May 28th @ The Jazz Kitchen for THE Memorial Day Weekend Party.

Drake's 5 Favorite Rappers By: Helen Rogers
Break Studios Contributing Writer

Of course, Drake has a mysterious and rhythmical flow that’s enough to get anyone out of their seats and bobbing their heads, but where does he get the inspiration for his hit music? Who does he look up to?!

1. Of course, it seems silly to start this list with Lil’ Wayne, but he is definitely one of Drake’s favorite rappers. At the Hot 97 Summer Jam in New York in June of 2010, Drake referred to Lil’ Wayne as the greatest rapper alive by asking fans, “How many of y’all miss the greatest rapper alive right now?” He also mentioned that he talked daily to Lil’ Wayne who was incarcerated at the time. Drake even thanks Lil’ Wayne in writing in his album! An excerpt reads, “You are my idol, my mentor, and my friend. I am by your side forever.
2. Drake built a shrine to Andre 3000 in his apartment! Yes, Drake admits that as soon as you walk through the front door of his apartment, the first thing that you lay eyes on is an immense barn door plastered with verses from Andre’s music.
3. Drake has been known to note that Phonte of “The Foreign Exchange / Little Brother” is one of the greatest rappers. It’s likely that you’ve heard it in a song, but just recently, Drake stated in an interview that Phonte is one of best rappers of all time in his opinion. Drake immediately told an interviewer this after being handed a vinyl record of “Little Brother’s.”
4. In an interview with Complex magazine, Drake reveals that Young Jeezy is yet another one of his favorite hip hop rappers. Not only does Drake even love Young Jeezy’s music, Jeezy is even a fan of Drake’s music. Young Jeezy co-signed to make music with Drake, and now they’ve already come out with a few hits including “Lose My Mind” and “Unforgettable.”
5. Drake even claimed that J. Cole from Fayettville is one of his current favorite rappers. This may come as a surprise to some because J. Cole has been thought to be competition to Drake by many. However, this is not true in the least as Drake has stated that Cole is one of his most his most favored rappers!
