Ryshon Jones (left), an up-and-coming performer in the rap and hip-hop world, brought his talents to College Street Tap House March 2. Jones, a rapper from the Philadelphia area, has received coverage from hip-hop websites throughout the last several months, enabling him to gain a substantial following. Cooly Wright, a hip-hop artist originally from New Orleans, opened for Jones.
Limelight Records, Elon University's student record label, booked both artists earlier in the semester, an important accomplishment for the label, according to Neima Abdulahi, co-founder of Limelight Records.
“This event will help stamp Limelight Records as an organization that can put together an event,” said Abdulahi in a previous interview. “Having them come here widens their fan base and gets their music out to a different audience.”
