Nov. 13 was a night filled with roller coaster like emotions. The hip-hop concert promoting Andy Mineo\u2019s latest album, Uncomfortable<\/em>, was held at the Alpha and Omega Church<\/span><\/a> in Miami.<\/p>\n

The night started off with DJ Efechto warming up the crowd with remixes to various songs such as DJ Snake and Lil Jon\u2019s hit Turn Down For What<\/em>, the popular merengue Suavemente<\/em>, and everyone’s favorite sing-along theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The crowd ran to the front of the stage ready for a fun-filled night. Following DJ Efechto\u2019s opening was soulful pop and R&B singer SPZRKT (pronounced Spazzy Rocket), entrancing the audience with some of his hits like Can\u2019t Wait<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Later in the night, hip-hop and spoken word poet, Propaganda took the stage. The thought-provoking rapper dropped conscious lyrics from his most popular songs Three Cord Bond<\/em>, How Did We Get Here<\/em>, featuring Andy Mineo and Crimson Cord<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Propaganda even took a moment to bring to light the terrible attack on Paris (the attack left more than 129 people dead). The terrorist attack happened an hour prior to his performance.<\/p>\n

Before intermission, a video of Andy Mineo appeared on the big screen introducing his wife, Cristina, who took the stage to talk about the nonprofit organization World Vision. She encouraged others to sponsor a child, like Andy had done four years ago. Andy, as usual, shed some humor to the night by telling fans about his experience and the child he sponsored simply because of his cool name, Mofokeng.<\/p>\n

It was a hip-hop concert with a purpose. The lights dimmed, the crowd chanted \u201cAndy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fog slowly disappeared as the long awaited star appeared atop two big screens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiami y\u2019all sound so good,\u201d he said as he performed the first song of the night of the same name as his album Uncomfortable<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Uncomfortable<\/em> is his sophomore album following the success of his first, Heroes For Sale<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mineo introduced one of his most heartfelt songs by signing words to introduce his single Hear My Heart<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mineo, who felt guilt for not learning sign language at an early age, wrote Hear My Heart<\/em> as an apology letter for his older sister Grace, who was born deaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though you were born deaf, I pray you forgive me for the years I lived blind,\u201d Mineo rapped.<\/p>\n

After the emotional performance, he made a few jokes stating, \u201cIt\u2019s all downhill from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The progressive rapper explained how he had too much fun during rehearsals with the two mics that changed the pitch of his voice and the rest of the show would be free-styled.<\/p>\n

Fans didn\u2019t seem to mind.<\/p>\n

Just like the other performers of the night, Mineo is considered a Christian artist, but during a recent phone interview with the urban, shoe loving, humble artist, he said he doesn\u2019t give himself that title.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sticky topic… putting yourself in that box is unnecessary,\u201d Mineo explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can work for you, or ostracize you from reaching people,\u201d Mineo said, \u201cwhen you don\u2019t want to be put in a box, you’re ashamed and don’t want to be marginalized.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mineo doesn\u2019t mind what others call him or see him as, he just enjoys being an inspiration to others.<\/p>\n

During the tour, Mineo\u2019s bus was parked at the back of the hotel. The manager of the hotel approached him and thanked him. He explained he had an employee who was depressed and suicidal, so he brought Mineo\u2019s music to him. The employee played it on his overnight shifts at the front desk and soon found peace of mind.<\/p>\n

For people who are still doing some soul searching, unsure of who they are, Mineo believes the key is finding people to relate to and that you can learn from.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople aren\u2019t supposed to find themselves by themselves,\u201d Mineo said.<\/p>\n

The Uncomfortable tour ended on Sunday Nov. 15 with their last stop in Atlanta. Mineo expects 2016 to be a big year, with his spring tour starting in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
