IF YOU’RE A PLAYER HATER SEE YA LATER

Player’s Ball is a collective of Old Skool Hip Hop Headz that came together to share the love and create a new place to hang out, chill, meet up with our homies and check out the finest talent playing a wealth of genres from Pure Turntablism madness to Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and everything in between.

The Player’s Ball started as an annual gathering of pimps, held in Chicago, Illinois. Other Player’s Ball events took place across the US, most notably in Miami and Atlanta. “Player’s Ball” gatherings hit Las Vegas and Memphis, Tennessee. On December 16-18th 2011, a Player’s Ball was hosted in Hollywood, California.

The idea originally stemmed from a scene in the 1973 Blaxploitation film, The Mack, in which the lead character, a pimp named Goldie, attends The Player’s Ball in Oakland, California.
