"He" never met a Microphone that...

They say "He's never met a microphone that he wouldn't speak into!" After last night, "THEY" are right!

What's going on peoples? Vincent "Young Heartbreak" Tucker here. It's 11:03 AM here in Bright Dallas, Texas. Okay...I moved to the outskirts so I'm in Bright Euless, Texas!

Anyway, last night I hosted the SMASH OUT AIDS Gospel Hip Hop Event at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Presented by the UTA chapter of Keep A Child Alive (KCA), I was called upon to keep the show going. Shouts out the soundmen Garrick and Lebron...can't forget about DJ Whiz.

The night overall is great. You know, "Yours' Truly" has been hosting at night clubs during my last couple of hosting engagements (a la last week's DJ's & Diva's Party) but this was my return to "The Stage." The Lonestar Auditorium inside UTA's MAC Center was a great place for the KCA - SMASH OUT AIDS event.

I was a little nervous at first. I'll admit that. Because as I crossed the stage I realized this event was "bigger" than last week. You don't have to look at me hosting in a night club...you have to look at me here. If I must say so, I thought I did well. The feedback and love I received following the event, to me, supports that theory. It was the KCA's first event of this magnitude at UTA so as you can imagine, there was a few hiccups. Overall though, everyone should have enjoyed it.

A Secular Guy hosted a Gospel event? Yeah I know what some of y'all are thinking. But yes...I did it. I proved I can "Crossover!" lol. Shout out to all of the performances that took place from Holy Hip Hop, Gospel Singing, Step & Praise Dancing and more. Pastor Corey Jefferson had some great things to say and Avista/Sony Records Recording Artist Tabatha Roy closed everything down for us. Great night as a whole. Shout out to GTK, B-Holy and Big Nick. Oh, can't forget Eternal and Osato. Those guys proved to me that they can take Jesus "Mainstream". The beats were hot, the vocals were amazing. They represented.

So it looks like I've said enough as it's time for me to hit the exit. Once again though, I appreciate being apart of the movement. It was also a benefit so I'll have to find out how much we raise.

Oh...shout out to Melissa Felix, President of the UTA Chapter of Keep A Child Alive. I remember when she was first putting this together. She was SOOOO NERVOUS and Scared as this was her first big event. I kind of served as a consultant. Overseeing the whole process and making sure she was making the right decisions. After tonight, she might just be able to "survive" in the promoter business. lol

Anyway, before I went on that last rant...I was heading for the exit. So Once again thanks. Everybody out there stay lite! See y'all next time!
