Countdown to Summer Jam 2K12

The countdown to Pittsburgh's Summer Jam 2K12 starts now....

Summer is officially here! Cargo shorts, sundresses, cookout food, and of course great music. Over the past few days we First Class Blogs have been discussing a few things with Starr Status Entertainment. We agreed to release this blog to shed light on positive people in Pittsburgh doing positive things but we also sat down and asked them a few questions about the upcoming event. Questions such as why they chose MMG over YMCMB or G.O.O.D Music and also what other events they have planned for the city in the near future. Sit back and enjoy! 

What will make this years Summer Jam different and better than previous Summer Jams?

Starr Status Entertainment is owned by Terence Starr a Pittsburgh native. Growing up in Pittsburgh Terence attended Summer Jams throughout his life. This Summer Jam will be different because Terence has seen all the previous Summer Jams in Pittsburgh leaving this Summer Jam with many expectations.

What made Starr Status Ent. choose MMG as the headline instead of a YMCMB or a G.O.O.D Music?

Starr Status Entertainment likes Rick Ross work ethic. Summer Jam 2k12 gave Starr Status an opportunity to work with him. Also, with Wale attending a Pittsburgh University Robert Morris, and Starr Status having the chance to work with him before it just seemed right.

Is there a reason for choosing the Consol Energy Center over First Niagara Pavillion for the event?

Starr Status Entertainment wanted to present summer jam 2k12 in the inner city of Pittsburgh making Consol Energy Center a great location. In addition Starr Status promotes stop the violence and has partnered with Prevent Another Crime Today (PACT). This relationship has made Starr Status more aware of the location of their events giving the Consol many bonus points.

Will there be an opportunity for local artist to hit the stage and showcase their talent(s)?

Yes Starr Status Entertainment is definitely inclined to have the community involved with local acts such as S. Money recently signed to Brick Squad, B. Bricks, Tae loc, and many more.  It's only right to have the community displayed in this event. Gettting the youth to showcase their art and stay out the streets is one Starr Status Ent. main goals.

Are there any up coming events you're having we should be looking out for?

There are many events Starr Status Ent. is currently working on. A Back to school concert in September and many other exciting events. Starr Status Entertainment is striving to end Pittsburgh starvation of the night life. 

This event will be crazy from start to finish! MMG (Maybach Music Group) for those who don't know will be headlining the event that's Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Wale. Along with MMG as you can see on the flyer Tyga, Kardinal Offishal, and Adam D will also be on the bill. 

This is an event that needs to be violent free, just people enjoying good music and having a good time. In order to continue to have events in this city we need to leave the nonsense at home and enjoy life and the entertainment that is provided. So make sure you find a babysitter, get your 80 proof liquor and/or any other things you may need to get right and come out to support Starr Status Entertainment. 

Tickets for Summer Jam 2K12 can be purchased at Dorsey's Records, Up Beat Records, and Sons of Stedefords. Showtime for the event is 4:30pm EST so make sure you get down to the Consol Energy Center early. We got our tickets you better get yours!!!

We have another special announcement about Summer Jam 2K12 but we'll save that for later!!!

Let's just hope Chris Brown and Drake don't show up tho.....oh but I'm sleep!
