Reem Performs Live In Studio
Boston’s up-and-coming rapper Kareem Sully, aka Reem, is a nineteen year old well on his way to fame.

Rose Cousins Live In Studio
Halifax Canada’s Rose Cousins brought nothing more than herself and a couple instruments for her in-studio performance at WERS for live music week.
