What happens when you take 3 of the illest MCs in DC and put them together on a track? You get taken to The Curry Out.

The Curry Out is the first offering from DJ 2-Tone Jones’ highly anticipated album project called CONTRABAND FROM INDIA. The track features Uptown XO and Let The Dirt Say Amen at the peak of their game going back and forth on the mic, and the gifted Kenilworth Katrina tying it all together on the hook. Drew Dave laced the beat and give it the ultimate DC touch by using vocal samples from the legendary DJ Kool.

From the Washington Informer, where you can read the full story:

District native and comedian Rodney “Red” Grant declared his candidacy for the mayoral contest in 2022 on May 15 in the historic Anacostia neighborhood’s Old Market House Square in Ward 8.

Grant told a crowd of 30 people the late abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass served as an inspiration to run for mayor.

“I am making this announcement in the shadow of the Frederick Douglass house,” Grant said. “He was a person who fought for freedom and saw a vision that people could not see. He never wavered from that vision. My candidacy for mayor of Washington, D.C., is because this is the greatest city in the world. This is a great time for inclusion and not exclusion.”

Grant made his announcement while D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser hasn’t publicly indicated whether she will run for reelection in 2022. However, 52 percent of respondents in a Washington Post poll said Bowser should seek a third term. In March, D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine said he won’t challenge Bowser but will seek a third term.
