Concert Announcement: Hip-Hop Against Homophobia

Chris of Culture Bully just send this over to post. I'll be sure to repost an update when the concert draws nearer. As for now, here's the press release:
Hip Hop Against Homophobia: Friday, January 23 at the Nomad World Pub
Twin Cities hip hop artists—gay and straight alike—come out to support LGBTQ rights


On Friday, Jan 23, the Nomad World Pub in Minneapolis will host "Hip Hop Against
Homophobia," a show sponsored by music blog CultureBully.com, local record label
Tru Ruts/Speakeasy Records, Join the Impact Twin Cities, the Twin Cities Avengers
and OutFront MN. Performers include some of the Twin Cities' most successful hip
hop acts, representing both the LGBTQ community and its straight allies: Maria Isa,
Toki Wright, Alicia Leafgreen, DeeJay Blowtorch, Kredentials, Tish Jones, See More
Perspective and the show's lead organizer, Kyle "El Guante" Myhre.
I feel like Minneapolis hip-hop is always taking a very progressive stance against some of the widespread convictions that mainstream rap culture faces. Make sure to head to the Nomad in late January to support this movement!
