The legendary DJ Funk Flex turned up the energy at our Briarwood and Murray Hill locations
When legendary Hot 97 DJ Funk Flex steps into the building, you know something special is about to happen. On Friday, July 11th, the cannabis community witnessed an unforgettable day as Funk Flex brought his signature energy to Just A Little Higher Cannabis dispensaries for our monthly Day Vibes celebrations, delivering back-to-back performances that had the crowds vibing from Queens to Manhattan.
This wasn’t just another dispensary event – it was a day party celebration of cannabis culture, community, and the incredible music that brings us all together. Let’s dive into what made this Day Vibes so special and get you ready for what’s coming next month.
Briarwood: Where the Day Vibes Started
The Day Vibes kicked off at 5 PM at our Briarwood location (138-72 Queens Boulevard, Jamaica, NY 11435), where the local cannabis community gathered for what would become an legendary day party. The atmosphere was electric from the moment doors opened, with cannabis enthusiasts from across Queens and beyond converging to experience something truly unique.
Funk Flex didn’t just show up – he brought the full day party experience. The legendary DJ, known for his explosive energy and ability to read any crowd, had the Briarwood community moving from the first beat. Outside the dispensary, the vibe was pure cannabis culture at its finest – people sharing stories, enjoying premium products, and creating the kind of authentic connections that make our community special.
The food was flowing, the music was pumping, and the energy was contagious. Watching customers and community members come together, sharing their love for both cannabis and incredible music, reminded us why we do what we do. This wasn’t just an event – it was a Day Vibes celebration of the culture we’re all part of.
Murray Hill: Taking Manhattan by Storm
As the sun set over Queens, the Day Vibes was just getting started. At 8 PM, Funk Flex made his way to our Murray Hill location (698 2nd Avenue, New York, NY 10016), bringing that same incredible energy to the heart of Manhattan. The transition from Briarwood to Murray Hill showcased the diverse reach of our cannabis community – from Queens to Manhattan, the love for quality cannabis and great music transcends all boundaries.
The Murray Hill crowd brought their own unique energy, and Funk Flex adapted his set perfectly to match the vibe. Manhattan cannabis enthusiasts mixed with Briarwood regulars who followed the Day Vibes, creating an incredible fusion of communities. The sidewalks outside our Murray Hill dispensary transformed into an impromptu day party, with people enjoying the warm July evening, premium cannabis, and world-class entertainment.
More Than Just Music: A Full Cannabis Experience
What made July 11th so special wasn’t just having Funk Flex perform at cannabis dispensaries – it was how the entire Day Vibes experience embodied everything we love about cannabis culture. The events brought together people from all walks of life, united by their appreciation for quality cannabis and authentic experiences.
Food trucks and catering ensured everyone stayed energized throughout the night. Nothing brings people together like good food and great music, and watching customers discover new strains while enjoying delicious bites created the perfect atmosphere for community building.
Live DJs beyond Funk Flex kept the energy flowing throughout both locations. Local talent mixed with the headliner created a diverse musical experience that had something for everyone. The seamless blend of hip-hop, reggae, and other genres that define cannabis culture made for an unforgettable soundtrack to the evening.
The Outdoor Vibe
One of the highlights of both events was the outdoor smoking and socializing atmosphere. There’s something special about enjoying premium cannabis in a community setting, sharing stories and making connections with fellow enthusiasts. The July weather was perfect for outdoor vibing, and seeing people genuinely enjoying themselves while representing cannabis culture in such a positive way was incredibly rewarding.
The outdoor spaces at both locations became natural gathering spots where customers could sample products, share recommendations, and connect with others who share their passion. This organic community building is what makes our monthly events so much more than just entertainment – they’re cultural experiences.
Looking Ahead: August Events Coming Soon
The success of our Briarwood and Murray Hill Day Vibes with Funk Flex has set the bar high for what’s coming next. This month, we’re switching things up and bringing the monthly Day Vibes celebration to different Just A Little Higher locations, giving more of our community the chance to experience these incredible day parties.
