Last night, we attended the finale of the Hennessy Artistry Tour ft. Common and The Roots at at Terminal 5, right here in New York City. Along with this highly anticipated event, came several celebrity guests, high energy performances by legendary artists, aerial stunt performers during performance breaks, and a constant flow of Hennessy Cognac all night! Pics and video of performances below.
Not including the extreme disorganization at the door, (won’t even get into that, because its not important) the event was a great one. You can’t really go wrong with a free concert with performances by some of the biggest names in hip hop.

Ashanti was there
Colin Munroe did a great job, but we couldn’t help but be distracted by his jeans!

We saw Eve inside, and she was absolutely STUNNING! Pictures really don’t do her justice.

We actually left before the performance by Queen Latifah and Q-Tip, but we did see Q-Tip as we were exiting the venue. We also heard that Queen Latifah’s performance was pretty epic.

This event was great from start to finish. I had a blast! I love Queen and for me that was the highlight of the evening. Bringing Caron Wheeler on brought me back. Definitely a night to remember on multiple levels.
