This event sounds awesome. I wish I could get there, but I live in Maryland. I love anything that promotes good hip-hop/spoken word. And it’s even better that its a younger kids. I was at a show in Brooklyn not too long ago and I saw a 11 year old kid spit some of the best lines I’ve ever heard! There is definitely talent in the younger generations. I hope the event goes well! Post some videos from it so I can check it out.
