ESSENCE + FORD Presents: My City, 4 Ways ATLANTA 2017 | Video Recap

(via stupidDOPE.com) Only a couple days ago in Atlanta, FORD teamed up with ESSENCE Magazine at the crossroads of culture and southern hospitality. Presented by FORD, the My City 4 Ways event blended the food, music, art and style into a most dope experience that only the hip citizens of Hotlanta can handle. This year's celebration went down at The Garage, a hip venue that accommodated the likes of fashion-world heavy hitters like June Ambrose and Charlene Dunbar. The levels of style were matched only by the sleek FORD vehicles permeating the space. Throughout the party, registered visitors were able to snag a whip for a scenic ride-and-drive through the city in their choice of ride.

Thanks to the impeccable mixing of DJ Teknology, we here at stupidDOPE cruised seamlessly between musical stars like Algebra and Lecrae with the fluidity of many a delightful mixed drink. Walking around My City 4 Ways, it was hard not to stop and appreciate Melissa Mitchell's visually-intriguing artwork. But if you know us, then you know that food is the quickest way to our hearts. Musical sensation-turned-cook, Kelis partnered up with Chef Willie to create mouth-watering hors d'oeuvres for the masses. We gotta clap for that mashup, as our palates are quite pleased. Peep the clip above for Chef Willie's take on this year's My City 4 Ways, presented by FORD.

Much love to John Scherer x Carter Nilson for their most dope track.
