This Friday and Saturday (Mar. 5 and 6), Muskegon's CARBON/Blue Note will host what is likely to be remembered as one of the best hip hop mash-ups West Michigan has ever seen.
When the event was conceptualized as a hip hop event to benefit Haiti, with a few local artists performing. From there, it grew. This weekend will see more than 30 artists and groups perform a huge variety of hip hop music. Notably, this month's cover girl DJ SuperDre is in the line up, along with D-12's DJ Young Mase, Rick Chyme, and many more.
Acts from all over the state will be present, and Leif Kolt (formerly of Mich., presently of Cali.) will come back for the event. Area groups have supported the event and coordinated the volounteer effort en masse.
103.7 WUVS, The Grand Rapids Hip Hop Coalition, The American Red Cross, MICRGrand Rapids and others have lent hands and dollars to promote it. Entrance is $15 dollars, and the event is 21+.
It should be noted that there is a dress code in place, with no hats, plain colored t-shirts, tank-tops worn by men, sagging or baggy pants, hoodies or sports jerseys allowed.
