Yo! What's good people!? Lot's going on in the NW Hip Hop community right now. The 3rd Annual NW Hip Hop Festival is coming up and this year's event which is once again sponsored by KZME should be pretty special.

Hit the link below to find out where to be for the best live Hip Hop in the NW.

On Friday, August 30th the NW Hip Hop community is coming together in support of one of there own. It's a benefit show for MC Libretto and this event should be massive. Featuring performances from Vursatyl of Lifesavas, Cool Nutz and DJ Fatboy, Tony Ozier of the Doo Doo Funk Allstars a set from The Rundown featuring Destro Destructo, Easy McCoy and Th3ory Hazit. This is truly an event to support a community of artists doing positive things.

Yo! The mighty northwest is looking pretty nice right through here, and the Neighborhood has been growing with new visitors every week.

Recently my man Serge Severe passed through with producer 5th Sequence to talk about the release of his latest project Boom Bap and Bars Vol. 1



While Serge was visiting KZME, he dropped this verse, one of the dopest live performances on Welcome to the Neighborhood to date:

I also had a chance to host local MC Madgesdiq after seeing him perform during the Soul'd Out Music Fest. Had a great conversation during the show and he even hung out at the station to chop it up after the broadcast. He gave me a chance to play a number of tracks from his upcoming mix tape project "Introducin' Antoine Terrell", and we played tracks from his latest full length project Rastamerica. Be sure to stay up to date with him via the website www.madgesdiq.com

Festival time is kicking off with the nicer weather, and I'll have some announcements regarding upcoming events related to KZME and the local hip hop community, so stay tuned! Remember there are a number of ways to do that besides the blog including:

Until next time,

Blessings!
