Today on Rewind With Besa, Besa Gordon is joined by Converge Media's Proof and Curtis Delgardo to recap Trap Kitchen Weekend, talk about the current hip-hop concert scene in Seattle, while also comparing Seattle night life to PDX night life and so much more.

Do you know what's crazy? It took for me to go to Trap Kitchen Weeknd in Portland, Oregon, to fall back in love with looking into new Hip-Hop artists, interviewing artists, and highlighting artists that I think are dope. Before becoming a radio host, I used to do that all the time. Back then, I had a different passion for getting the word out about new artists people should know about or even looking for artists I still needed to learn. Believe it or not, some of my favorite artists to this day are ones no one knew about until they blew up.

With over 600 people in attendance Saturday night, including our very own Besa Gordon and Deaunte Damper, the GSBA Equalux Gala 2022 at the Westin Hotel was a smashing success raising over $800,000 in support of LGBTQ+ Future Leaders and allies.

Another media mixer is in the books. This month The Real Seattle Media Mixer was at Sugar Hill, and Besa Gordon hosted a panel on Reels and TikTok. The panel focused on how Instagram and TikTok push more videos these days that are more authentic than videos that are simply carbon copies of what is already out there.

Dude. This is not a drill Trap Kitchen Weekend is this Friday and I can’t wait! Like seriously, me and Big O literally jumped in a car Saturday and drove alllllll the way (I mean I guess it’s not that far) to PDX for me to get some more of that amazing Trap Kitchen food and to see the space that will hold this year's Trap Kitchen Weekend.

Food-wise, you already know I grabbed the baller box which comes with, snow crab legs, a lobster tail, shrimp, salmon, and fries. Big O got the garlic noodles with snow crab legs and a lobster tail. As for our drinks, we got the berry lemonade and even took one to go!

For this month's panel, we wanted to focus on something for the influencers, and business owners that are struggling with creating TikToks and Reels that win and create engagement. This month’s mixer will be held at Sugar Hill Seattle.

I’ve been seeing some really powerful photos and videos from the Iran Protests, so yesterday I took some time to educate myself on what’s happening over in Iran. I was SHOCKED to find out a beautiful woman by the name of #MahsaAmini died in a hospital in Tehran Iran after being taken into custody by Guidance Patrol for wearing her hijab too loosely which allowed for some of her hair to show.
