‘O’ the joys of sharing in the communal experience of music. Four hundred or so people brought together in a small dark room. Cheering in unison when a new song is played. Singing each word of Drake’s ‘Marvin’s Room’ – feeling that deep loneliness that comes with being rich and desirable. Popping to each clap of Khia’s ‘My Neck My Back’ – thinking damn straight “the best head comes from a thug”. Needless to say vibes were up for the latest Haters Convention.
