This past Thursday, Ryan Leslie was the featured performer for the latest FADER Magazine x Captain Morgan “Step Into The Black” concert series, which went down at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The space was filled to capacity with folks enjoying Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum drinks and having their photos taken with pirate props in the photo booth. Fool’s Gold boss Nick Catchdubs warmed up the crowd with dance jams before Ryan’s electric performance. See photos here and more video footage here.

This past Thursday, with the support of NBC’s “The Voice” and BMI, the “I’m Not A Minor” showcase reached its third installation featuring R&B singers Sammie and Mishon, and hosted by singer-songwriter R.L., of the group Next. With a surprise performance from LaTocha Scott, formerly of Xscape.

The vocal celebration, held at the W Hotel in Atlanta, brought out music enthusiasts and tastemakers together to indulge in an organic, vocally stimulating experience. INAM alum Jade Novah, Sheena Marie and Tanika Shanea took the stage once more to open up with their triumphant sounds setting the tone for a great night.

In a time when the essence of true R&B is dwindling, the “I’m Not A Minor” showcase is actively producing a bi-monthly platform where emerging and some more celebrated artists work hand and hand to keep their genre of music alive one month at a time.
