Snoop Lion, Daz and Kurupt Perform at PacSun’s Golden State of Mind Event Series

This past weekend in L.A., PacSun presented “Common Threads,” its latest installment of their lifestyle series “Golden State Of Mind” under Lot 613′s roof in Downtown Los Angeles. The series is a unique ecosystem of art, fashion and hip-hop, combined with authentic elements of SoCal culture. Golden State Of Mind explores an interesting mash up and crossover of pop culture featuring skate culture (DC), action sports (Hurley) and urban fashion (Diamond Supply Co.), while acknowledging those who influence as well as inspire.

The most recent event featured Snoop Lion as well as Daz Dillinger and Kurupt. Collectively, they performed some classics, including “What’s My Name,” “Gin & Juice,” and “Ain’t No Fun.”

Master P Holds Charity Event in Beverly Hills

After two decades in the game, Master P has left his mark not only on the music, but also in the community. This past weekend at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, the New Orleans rapper hosted the inaugural black tie charity ball for his foundation “Let The Kids Grow.” The organization was founded to support at-risk urban youth with after school activities and performing arts programs, giving them the resources to pursue dreams and thrive. The event honored Los Angeles Lakers star Dwight Howard, Usher, Romeo Miller and other influencers for their work in the community. “I use to be a little teenager in New Orleans selling jewelry for all of No Limit and Cash Money and Master P use to come and give me $100 for every ‘A’ I had on my report card, that probably ages him a little bit,” said Rocsi Diaz. “He was always such a generous person and to the community, when I first got on 106 he was one of the first people that reached out and was like I’m proud of you keep up the good work, he’s always been one of my biggest motivators and I’m just glad I can give back to him and help out.”
