Monaleo for the Moroccan: Monaleo is described in her press bio as a “rapper, singer and mental health advocate.” That’s very impressive, as is her recent single “Crying on Your Birthday.” "[Crying On Your Birthday] is an empowerment song I wrote to denounce the stigma against all girls crying on their birthdays.” says Monaleo. “Whether it be because your man didn’t do what he was supposed to, the plans aren’t going right, your outfit didn’t come in, etc.”

"'Crying On Your Birthday' samples the traditional 'Happy Birthday To You' celebratory instrumental with a big splash of heavy bass and Monaleo’s signature bravado that is sure to be the next viral song heard across all social media birthday shoutouts," reads the press release. "Produced by Kid Hazel, 'Crying On Your Birthday' includes a multitude of references to things like Texas, the iconic movie character Paul Blart, and Larry King. Mixing her cunning lyricism with the hard-hitting piano-based production, 'Crying On Your Birthday' denounces men making you cry on your birthday and, instead, encourages celebration with friends and empowers women everywhere to celebrate the day that is unique to them."

Monaleo for the Moroccan: The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 25 at the Moroccan Lounge.
