A Night of Queens, Culture & Catalogs
On Tuesday night, July 1st, Hazel Crest lit up as Chicago’s own Shawnna and LStreetz hosted their exclusive “RUN IT BACK” album listening party at the legendary Enviyon Studios. If you weren’t in the building, you definitely missed one of the most iconic nights in Chicago music this year. This wasn’t just a listening party—it was a cultural moment, a sisterhood celebration, and a musical rebirth for the ladies of hip-hop.
The event, orchestrated with class and edge by Guy Entertainment Group, was a who’s who of the music and entertainment industry. DJs, producers, artists, executives, tastemakers, media pros, and more poured into the space, making it clear: Chicago came to support its own.
SHAWNNA & LSTREETZ “RUN IT BACK”
All Eyes on the Ladies of the Hour
Shawnna, a certified hip-hop legend, made a bold fashion statement in a leopard-print bodysuit that hugged every flawless curve, topped off with a wide-brimmed hat and hair laid to perfection. Her presence reminded everyone in the room why she’s Chicago royalty.
By her side, LStreetz brought her signature street glam in a two-piece denim skirt set, complete with glittery tights, fresh designer Nikes, and a glowing face beat by the gods. Her look was equal parts urban, chic, and confident—a perfect match for the energy in the room.
Together, they were not just artists—they were forces, standing in full power, celebrating the artistry and evolution of women in hip-hop.
Sip, Spin, and Sound: The Full Experience
The environment was immersive, sexy, and turned all the way up. The drinks? Just as bold as the music. Custom cocktails were served all night, perfectly curated to reflect the album’s fierce energy. A signature Hennessy drink named “Pwussy Book” had the crowd buzzing, along with the sleek, seductive mix called “The Executive.”
As the album played, track after track brought undeniable heat. The crowd roared with every bass drop, bar, and beat. The synergy between Shawnna and LStreetz was electric. Spitting lines back and forth with lyrical precision, keeping heads nodding and bodies moving.
Forget the heat— the real fire was coming from the speakers.
Industry Power in the Building
You could feel the weight of Chicago in that room. The legendary DJ Slugo, Loud Money Music Group’s Megastar, SeanDale, J Menace, JT tha Don, Don Mealz ENT, MzMinah BrownDivah, DJ Nephets, Ben One, Bo Deal, Dee J KCeasar, Nanette, Ronnie Brown, Lisette, CypherSick, and more—these are names that carry weight in this city and beyond. Their presence was not just support—it was a co-sign.
Vibes, Vision, and the Voice of Women
Even behind the boards, the talent was top tier. Producers ChurchBoy Scotty and Tommie B brought their magic to this project, and attendees had the honor of meeting them during the evening’s musical deep dive.
This wasn’t just an album rollout—it was an event for the culture. A full networking hour with opening remarks set the tone, giving fans and press time to ask real questions. A special media room allowed interviews, podcasts, and content creation on the spot, making sure this moment lived far beyond just one night.
SHAWNNA & LSTREETZ “RUN IT BACK”
Every room had green lighting and crisp vibes. Metaphorically laying down the red carpet for women in Hip-Hop to take their rightful spotlight. How fitting that this celebration kicked off Women’s History Month—what better time to witness two queens shake the room? The dynamic team of MzMinah Media was proud to be in the building. Capturing every moment and supporting our sisters in sound.
