The Light with Raymond Tyler

Last week it was still March and yet some of us were already counting down the weeks to Memorial Day here at the shore. That’s because the events calendar is already filling up with important happenings that you won’t want to miss including these three that

Auditions to Open for Lil Durk

The show is April 28 at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall. Auditions are 5 p.m. Tuesday April 11, at the All Wars Memorial Building, 1510 Adriatic Ave., Atlantic City.

If you are an Atlantic City rap artist you could win a spot as the opening act for Lil Durk and Metro Boomin. According to Kashawn McKinley, judges are looking for stage presence, crowd interaction, creativity and sound quality.

I say “Break a leg and see you at Boardwalk Hall!”
