Do you want a variety of great hip hop artists to come through the Iowa City area regularly for a cheap admission? I do! Thats why Im pushing to start a biweekly show every other Wednesday night in Iowa City as part of a Midwest Corridor of back to back weeklies Ive been working on with 10-12 other nearby cities. To really make this happen we need to support by coming to the shows. I have a roster of artists Im excited to see make appearances in our area including Vast Aire of Cannibal Ox and Akil of Jurassic 5 in October, Copywrite and Prince Po of Organized Konfusion in November, and many other artists lined up and excited to make their way through, from Def Juxx to Rhymesayers, from old school to new school, East coast to West. The admission will always be a mere 5 to 7 bucks, we will always have djs, live music, local acts, regional acts, and national acts. If you are interested in participating in any way, whether it be to help promote with the street team, get music to play on the radio, or any ideas you may have feel free to message me here. I really am interested in taking advantage of free speech while we still have it, and building community through these events. To start, please show your support by coming to the next show on Tuesday, September 16 with Raashan Ahmad of the Crown City Rockers, Bru Lei, and myself. I guarantee it will be cheap, and Raashan never disappoints live. After that it will be Wednesdays. It is very important if you really want these acts to continue to come to Iowa City that you come show your support on September 16th at the Picador.
