In its early days, Flight Night was a showcase for some of the best upcoming talent in New York. The original Flight Night showcase, created by Kota the Friend, was held at Two Steps Down Restaurant in Ft. Greene,Brooklyn. These shows featured the late Capital Steez, PhonyPpl, and Dyme a Duzin. A young JoeyBada$$ was also a frequent attendee of Flight Night shows. Rumor has it that Joey established Pro Era right outside a Flight Night Event in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, Kota's old neighborhood.
