11-11-11 was a special day for Pittsburgh's female rapper, Kellee Maize. She did a special performance of her new album, Integration (released the same day) at the Istanbul Grille in Lawrenceville. The release party was filmed and will be used to create a music video.

In spiritual style, Kellee's team cleansed the stage with sage prior to her performance. It was an intimate setting, with couches and candles. A couple of carefully aligned details with Kellee's personality included a vegan/vegetarian menu (courtesy of Instanbul Grille), tarot & numerology readings and live art from Pittsburgh artist, Octeel. Not to mention, Clique Vodka was there to liven the scene up with fun mixed drinks sprinkled with Pop Rocks. All tips earned by the bartenders were donated to the Make a Wish Foundation & the dress that Kellee wore was auctioned off, as well.
