Meant for the Milk Crate at fooBAR

The event was featured as a Critics' Pick by the Nashville Scene:

"Meant for the Milk Crate is back from spring hibernation with a bill stacked high with local hip-hop’s familiar faces. Hosted by Al-D and frequent collaborator E.T., this week’s show features MCs Case Arnold, Tim Gent and Cee Ohh. Between Gent’s latest EP For the Love and Case Arnold’s track “Noise” released last week, there is plenty of fresh material worth peeping from two of Clarksville’s best. And if that weren’t enough, the night wraps up with local staple/mash monster Amerigo Gazaway, whose The Trill Is Gone — a B.B. King and UGK mashup — was one of last year’s best local efforts. Stick around after for the open-mic cypher led by DJ Vamp. Our hip-hop scene is worth talking about, and MFTMC keeps the lights on as its foremost tastemaker." - Matt Fox, Nashville Scene
