[HIP HOP] “One would argue that Art and Hip-Hop go together like currency and the Medici Family,” so say the promoters of Arm Candy presents Groove Salad, a new monthly art and hip hop showcase. The Medici family are considered one of the wealthiest families of all time—and the promoters of this event are certainly hoping it because one of the more successful monthly parties in Buffalo. To ensure that, DJ and hip hop producer Cove and artist Jessica Saddleson are bringing a savory mix of reggae inspired beats, tasty eats, and provocative art to Epic Lounge on Elmwood. For this edition, artist Jessica Saddleson will present a combination of art exhibit and interactive art instillation. Her oil and sharpie based art pieces will be on display, but she’ll also present an instillation that will, in her words, “allow patrons to neurologically place optics on various forms of visual candy.” Cove, whose most recent projects include a production piece with Prime Example and OldSouls, last year’s solo instrumental full length Love. Lost/Love.Gained, and few new beats to tease an upcoming mixtape, will come with a what should be a heady mix of reggae and hip hop. Buffalo DJ Josh Yourmoms, who is capable of delivering everything from a set of banging hip hop classics to a low key, funky vibe, will also join in on the fun.
