The Roots, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane, and Skillz will be rolling through Cleveland today as they hit the half-way marker on the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Tour. This is the first tour of its kind, a Roots-song-free (well, almost) show paying tribute to the classics from Run DMC to NWA to EPMD and much, much more. New Yorkers, the tour ends HERE with TWO shows on October 5th. Buy your tix now!
Tonight in Philly, Simply Dillaful is the second annual tribute to musical genius J Dilla with DJs House Shoes, Jay Ski, Statik holding it down. If you missed last year definitely dont wanna miss it this time around. Get all the who-what-when-where here.
NYC, don’t forget about the walk for Lupus with the October 13th Walk For Dilla benefit.
We understand MF DOOM had to miss yesterday’s NY-Tokyo Festival due to illness. Rakim ended up filling in. Get better soon, homie!
