Digital Sleepover 2 : Team No Sleep

We're having a sleepover, and you're invited. On September 19th at 8pm EST, Also Cool Mag is partnering with Hip Hop You Don't Stop and Strange Froots to bring you the second edition of our Digital Sleepover event in celebration of the Froots' 7th anniversary of their debut album.

The event will take place online as a part of HHYDS's hybrid festival format this year, and will be streamed from the Also Cool HQ. We'll be hosting a round table discussion on what we learned about the music and entertainment business during the pandemic, RnB's place in hip-hop culture, towing that line, navigating being a guest in the culture, and what queer representation looks like in the Montreal hip-hop scene. Our wonderful panelists will be JU!CE, Khadijah, Faneva, and Magi Merlin. After the panel, we'll have an online dance party DJed by JU!CE and Faneva.

As we did with our previous Digital Sleepover, we will be raising funds for our communities: half of the proceeds will be donated to Maison d'Haiti to help with relief efforts in recovering from the earthquake, and half will go to sustaining the ongoing work of Also Cool (staff, web maintenance, etc.) who, as a small but mighty team, has been working 'round the clock to run a platform amidst the pandemic between their own lives, jobs and other projects.

No donation is too small, as we believe that both these organizations have taken great strides in uplifting their respective communities.

We'll see you at the Sleepover! #StayCuteStayFroot
