Wednesday, April 15, 2009 from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM (ET)
Hosted by Jabari Exum of Hueman Prophets, Words Beats & Life presents two groups [Mohammed Yahya + Poetic Pilgrimage] who have crossed continents to bring you the freshest hip-hop from the UK, with their Jamaican and Mozambican/Portuguese roots flavor. These British emcees offer a uniquely dope sound to this amazing bill of artists. Omar Offendum, a Syrian-American emcee, Kooley High (North Carolina), and DC’s own Asheru accompanied by a live band, The ELs, will represent the best of American hip-hop. This five-way lyrical threat will be the hottest show of spring!
Join us on this hip-hop pilgrimage and be part of this musical journey to raise money for Words Beats & Life in their efforts to continue transforming individual lives and whole communities through hip-hop culture.
Founded in 2002, Words Beats & Life transforms individuals and whole communities through the core elements of hip-hop culture. At the heart of all that we do is the belief that hip-hop can serve as the necessary filter between hope and despair for the youth of the District of Columbia.
