"This performance will definitely have a few surprises," Biz said, "but I'm pretty sure it will be something people will remember forever."
The event is open to all ages with a $10 admission fee. The evening host is Montclair State University's academic counselor, and author of The Universal thoughts of a Black Man, Mr. Reggie Walker.
"The Trenton Atelier, founded by CEO, Peter Abrams, is a big and spacious building," Biz states, "it has an underground and rugged feel which is perfect for the theme 'Forever Black.'"
Biz celebrates two years of work poured into 'Forever Black.' The lyricist from Trenton, New Jersey, founded TOTG and earned a solo buzz through twelve years of soulful writing. He has gained a reputation as a "stand out performer" from the Action Aids Concert at the TLA, the Jersey Fresh Jam(s) at the Terracycle, and the Garden State of Rhyme at the Susquehanna Bank Center.
