A letter H post is long overdue. Don't they look so nice together? Since Hip Hop has 2 H's it's only right to double up. I've been meaning to do a concert write-up for a while- problem was there really wasn't/isn't much out there. One of the best shows is tomorrow night- Heltah Skeltah with special guests at 92Y Tribeca. The show of shows will be Cam at Highline Ballroom on May 4th. Sold out but I'll try to manage something. One or two decent joints lined up to usher in the summer- a lot of R&B joints, too many in fact, and in hindsight I have no clue why I referenced so many- fuck it- not really my thing but to each their own. Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival just announced that Styles P, Pharoahe Monch and Smif N Wessun will be performing on June 20th at Fulton Ferry State Park under the Brooklyn Bridge. "The Life" live will be some shit. Will try to provide links for many of the shows tomorrow. Shows are in chronological order.
