Full Blast Movement Apex Awards
The full blast booking team is proud to announce the debut of the full blast movement apex awards which will be held at our tour for life 2024 finale at the monarch in brooklyn, ny – august 18th with the one and only redman headlining! Over the years, we have worked with such amazing, talented and dedicated artists that put their all into their craft. we wanted to do something special to acknowledge their hard work, talent & impact on both the hip hop and full blast movement communities.
what is an apex award?
The back story – we all know how passionate the full blast booking team can be when it comes to our mission and community advocacy for both mental health awareness and undergound music. Welp – our very own tour assistant, jojo – takes that passion to the next level when it comes to our full blast movement community! one night, while sipping with some ai friends and planning the festivities for tour for life 2024 – jojo was feelin’ a little extra extra and held an entire award ceremony in her head to the people that have continued to inspire her by their daily journey for greatness – to make a difference in this ever-growing ugly world! yes – you were all dressed for success and slaying the room!
In that moment, the apex awards were born and had to happen! The apex awards were designed to acknowledge and honor the underground artists that continue to make a difference in the world – one move at time – with their creative flow, lyrical talent and intense delivery – that makes people stop and reflect while enjoying a lesson they may not yet even know they are learning. A lesson taught by the example of pursuing your dreams!
