Whattup Folks!

I don't know if you've been keeping up with the underground hip hop happenings of Olympia, but there is clearly some beautiful show organizing happening. If you're at all familiar with the scene, then this flyer might look familiar!


I have been a SistaHailstorm fan for a loooong minute. When I was first coming up through the underground Seattle scene, I remember hearing her on Gabriel Teodros's Westlake mixtape. When I first heard her spit, I thought her style was bravely poetic and truly representative of a warrior spirit, a energy I have found rarely done constructively for the people. At the time, I did not fully understand a lot of the vocabulary in her music, but as I continue the work I have started with MEChA de UW-Madison, I begin to understand more of the power of her work.

DJ B-Girl has held it down for me for a terribly long hour in the 206. A couple of years ago, I was in the Katalyst program at WAPIFASA. Alongside DJ B-Girl, I worked with Suntonio Bandanaz, Khingz, Nam, and Mic Flont. Through working with the musical staff, as well as the program facilitators, I became a concious coconut tree in a typhoon of ignorance. [diddn't think it'd get all indigenous islander on you, did you?] Without Katalyst, I would of been here at U of Wisconsin-Madison. Big ups to the whole WAPI Fam.

Annnyywaaaays. Enough of the sappy, sentimental pieces! Point is, the homies at 2.5 House Productions hooked me up with a opening slot at DEAD PREZ THIS FRIDAY SEPT 10th! It's part one of a double feature, so if you can't make it Friday, make sure to catch Militant Child, Language Arts, and the Atman Quartet. Click Here for the FACEBOOK invite.



P.S. on the flyer I say boo, because it's only 21+, and I don't get down with systems that create arbitrary numbers to determine whether or not people should be able to decide whether or not they want to go to a show, and 20$ steep, but hey with the legendary line up [Also including SAVAGE FAMILY AND AFROK], if you can afford it, it's not worth missing.
