Monday distractions, and a few shots from yesterday's #KuntasCulture event before Kendrick Lamar took the stage at Lincoln Theatre. Featuring performances by the Duke Ellington Mellow Tones and W. Ellington Felton, artwork by somewearmasks and Robert Generette III/Rob-Zilla, and M O R E , the afternoon was presented by Reebok Classics and locally by Suite Nation.  Great vibes; great people; so glad to have taken part!
