Last Elevation Live at the Firefly

Experience the final night of Elevation Sundays @ The Firefly Club. Founded by Jax of Now On & DJ Graffiti, Elevation aka “The Chill Lounge” gave Ann Arbor, Michigan 5 years of legendary entertainment. Before their journeys to the left coast DJ Haircut (aka Mayer Hawthorne), DJ Houseshoes & IX Lives (of Now On) were regulars on the decks at Elevation. Following the great migration to LA, DJ Benny Ben & DJ Jonah stepped up to the plate to support DJ Graffiti on the 1’s and 2’s. The night was originally hosted by Jax of Now On, and then suceeded by Buff1, followed by the final hosts Grand Cee & Sonny Star (aka Tré Styles) of the Athletic Mic League. Over the years we welcomed guests such as The Clipse, Lupe Fiasco (pre-fiascogate), MC Breed (RIP) and a who’s who of Michigan Hip-Hop.

Now that the scene is set, enter the final hour of Elevation sponsored by bottle poppin’ drunkeness, hosted by Grand Cee (aka Mr. White Girls With Big Booties/Black Names) & Sonny Star (aka I’m singing the words even when I don’t know them). DJ Benny Ben & DJ Graffiti set it off on four turntables (most often awkwardly due a DJ monitor that neither of us could really hear, but probably more due to our sponsor, Al Cohol). Now that all of us (including ‘guest’ hosts: DJ Jonah, Mack the Bouncer, AKA & whoever else managed to grab the mic, and especially Mosologist, Kim & Ari for the oreo cookie cover shot above! lol) have been sufficiently clowned for the hilarious display of drunken debauchery, check out the 100% enjoyable final hour of Elevation Sundays!
