Mint Collective's event Toothpaste teamed up with Musa-Shi's Black Ice. Musa and I wanted Darkie to be the cover of the flyer (after all, we did have Blackie on the line-up) but others weren't with it so we chose something else. Toothpaste: A Queer Dance Party was an event in which you could hear many genres under one roof as long as it was danceable. Black Ice (Blvck Ice) is an event spearheaded by Empty Nest and Musa-Shi that specifically caters to Jersey Club, Baltimore Club, Nola Bounce, Trap, Rap and R&B favorites. Since we were collabing, I thought it was only fair to blend polyrhythmic afro house flair with some gritty trap music and other R&B favs...
