\"HITP11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHONK.\u201d As sedans, pickups and 4X4\u2019s slow to a crawl on I-20 eastbound at the ramp of Boulevard, the traffic on the World Wide Web stalls. Thankfully, no vehicles or servers, for that matter, crash. Finally!-And no not the CeCe Peniston classic-House In The Park<\/a> Sunday arrives!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At a park, named after the “Father of Atlanta,” on Confederate Avenue, thousands of feet stampede the green space. The festivity is less conservancy, more 4G. Posts and photos clog social media newsfeeds. Thirty-second videos go viral. Hit after hit. Likes accumulate. Tweets chirp. Memes abound. A song list is even cataloged on a blog. HITP 11 trends.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter all house music is the black person\u2019s alternative.\u201d Replies the voice-activated \u201cAI\u201d when asked, \u201cIs HITP the real Afropunk?\u201d Uploads of Afro\u2019s, locs, beads, and faux hawks be natural or extensions, crown heads of dancing kings and dancing queens, and their dancing princes and dancing princesses. Selfies of tees, tunics, cowls and body paint are fit for fashion spreads. Just #blackfashionmatters. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dress and tags are only smaller numerators in HITP\u2019s larger algorithm. There are four constant variables that play the most important part when coding the event\u2019s success.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Four Fathers. Salah Ananse<\/a>, DJ Kemit<\/a>, Kai Alce<\/a>, and founding father Ramon Rawsoul<\/a> stand tall and proud. Acetate. Polycarbonate. Gigabyte. Are their mouthpieces. Their voices eschewed from shiny hardware, transmitted by stereo surround-sound. Each bringing their distinct flavor, Salah: boutique house, Kemit: disco, Ramon: ancestral and Kai: every sound in between, makes PPL <3 HITP.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunrays kiss smiley faces. Red, green, gold, and black jewels sparkle against the stark bulb in the sky. iClouds fly across the azure. The temperature feels not too hot, not too humid, and never too cold but just the right amount of cool. A fit-watch pixels display 85 degrees.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The balmy temperature is a shock, but not the music. As one girl whips and nae naes to a remix of Justin Timberlake singing \u201cHoly Grail.\u201d Everyone agrees House in The Park is the \u201cHoly Grail.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Holy Grail that started ten years ago as an intimate gathering of friends, has massed into more than one large family picnic, but a technological boom. Far more than food trucks, the aroma of grilled meats, vendors, pavilions and tent city, there is no denying HITP\u2019s digital footprint that stomps the digital world. Perhaps, next year, the drone that flies overhead will be used to film a virtual-reality live stream. In real-time, to all businesses, corporations and advertisers, HITP is where the money is.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
