Cafe Soul was a packed house on Monday night at Mr. Del’s album release party for his latest project “Thrilla.” It was a great atmosphere and he opened the show with a young group from his new label DMG (Dedicated Music Group) called “Movement of Truth” and he also did a small tribute to MJ (Michael Jackson), which the crowd loved! After an impressive opener, Mr. Del took the stage and gave the crowd a taste of “Thrilla”, I was was very impressed with the sound quality and deliverance. He seemed to really grab the crowd’s attention with his spiritual message! I was able to get an interview with the hip-hop star and get his insight on the Memphis music scene, the new label, and his Universal deal. Check out the pictures from the show and read whats next for Mr. Del.
