Last Wednesday night Adidas Originals teamed up with Cashmere Agency to put on "Respect the West" a night full of exciting performances by West Coast artists including Def Jam's YG, Nipsey Hussle, Ty Dolla $ign and Skeme with music by DJ Mustard. The event was held in the cut of the Downtown LA's Arts District. Capacity was met at 10pm, while many still crowded around the entrance with hopes of getting in. The event inside was packed with heavy hitters and phat beats. Each MC that took the stage had the crowd busting a move and grinding next to one another. L.A. Taco's Desilu was there on the scene to capture the night. Follow the link for a full gallery recap.
