Vaynaland Bloom Fest 24’
The joint celebration of buds and Boston music will feature sets from LS Camp and Edo. G, Malik Elijah, Najee Janey, Brandie Blaze, Rilla Force, Ishafromthe978, and DJ Fab, among many others. Mind Flex, a Quincy-based hip-hop collective who’s also performing, cultivated the festival alongside local music podcast Turntable Teachers and Boston apparel brand Vertu Ou Vice."
In addition to providing a platform for local artists, Bloom Fest also aims to shift the conversation about cannabis in a positive direction. Mike Scarfo, host and creator of Turntable Teachers, says it can be difficult to find environments that welcome discussions about the beneficial effects of cannabis use, especially with regards to mental health. He hopes Bloom Fest can strip away some of the stigma and create more space for similar events going forward.
“There’s sometimes even a reluctancy to talk about it given the negative historical connotations that come with cannabis,” Scarfo tells Vanyaland. “In working with like-minded people like Chace (of Mind Flex Records) and Jay Lally (of Vertu Ou Vice), we all agreed that utilizing the positivity of art and entertainment is always a great way to help build or rebuild a positive narrative around a movement you believe in.”. - Victoria Wasylak

Mind Flex & Turntable Teachers @ Exit Galleries
Exit Galleries in Allston, MA was the host of Turntable Teachers’ first show of the season, The Summer School Tour. The unbearable heat that day did not stop people from showing up to the sold-out show. It was a tight space that felt somewhat spacious, due to the art covering every inch of the wall, all created by Sam Fish. Turntable Teachers had the opportunity to collaborate with rap group, Mind Flex, to present the show, alongside sponsors Topo Chico and cannabis brand 1906, and sounds by the great DJ Whysham throughout the evening.
Rap collective, Mind Flex, went on stage, and owned it. Their presence throughout the room could be felt everywhere. It was contagious. Even before they got on stage, they were supporting their fellow artist friends, joining in on what music is all about: community. Mind Flex’s hard work and dedication could be seen once they got on stage. Their music was refreshing to listen to. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to any first time listener, so I, personally, consider myself lucky. - Orleany Herasme
