On March 15, Justin "Yaddiya" Johnson will host a pop-up shop and record release at Georgetown's 1223 Potomac Gallery to unveil his album HOYA$. The album, featuring rapper Big Don Bino, honors the '80s Georgetown basketball teams led by the historically significant coach John Thompson Jr. The event also includes the art exhibit "Hoya Paranoia: Black America's Team," showcasing works by local artists. Yaddiya aims to blend music and art, creating a cultural movement around the lifestyle and legacy of Black history in Georgetown.
DC musician and activist Justin "Yaddiya" Johnson will host a pop-up shop and record release party on Saturday, March 15 to celebrate the drop of his new album, HOYA$. The celebration will start at 4PM at Yaddiya's Georgetown art space, 1223 Potomac Gallery, and will feature art, music, and Georgetown-themed streetwear.
"I look at the music as a soundtrack to the exhibit, but then the reciprocal as well. I look at the exhibit as a depiction of the music," Yaddiya says.
"This is a movement of the arts, not just something that's based around music strictly. I really want to show the lifestyle of everything surrounding it as well," he says.
"It's something that looks somewhat traditional, but does have a twist on it. They're like spinoffs of Georgetown. We kinda use the dog, but we're using our own rendition of the dog, and we're using 'G-town' as the moniker."
