On August 23rd at NYC?s Lucky Strike, C?ROC Vodka joined forces with hip-hop recording artist and producer Swizz Beatz, to celebrate YRB Magazine?s Art Issue, which Beatz and friend Va$htie Kola designed. Below, Beatz and Kola pose for a photo. PHOTOS: C?ROC/WIREIMAGE





Celebrity friends came out to show support and are pictured here (from left), holding up the YRB Issue Swizz helped design, Mary J. Blige, Estelle and the evening?s co-host Swizz Beatz.




Atlantic Records recording artist, Estelle; who ditched the standard bowling shoes for a pair of killer purple leopard print pumps; proved to be a superstar athlete as well as a Grammy award winning artist when she bowled a strike on her first try.





The VIP table at the event was home base for the likes of (from left) R&B legend, Mary J. Blige; Swizz Beatz; and Atlantic Record?s Mike Kyser.
