One reason why I wish I lived in NYC: everyday there’s a rap show. Here’s one…from Dallas Penn:

Joell Ortiz hosted a legendary night of underground Hip-Hop at the classic NYC nightclub SOBs. Sean Price tore it down. JuJu from the Beatnuts did his thing. Up and coming underground emcee Troy Ave caught wreck. Mostly it was just a dope night with Brooklyn’s best rappers keeping Hip-Hop from the streets alive.

A small-but-committed group of writers, bloggers and videographers that (mostly) exist and function all over the D.C. Metro area.
