JOSE S. GUTIERREZ JR.: OLYMPIA IS WHERE IT'S AT >>>

Big respects to everyone who came and supported The 3rd Annual Hip-Hop for The Homeless Benefit at The China Clipper in Olympia. Guests and performers included Wojack, Baldy Loc, Asliani, Knucklehead Banga, Kokane, old school pop-rocker Alphonse Curry, staff from The Evergreen State College, staff from The University of Washington, Department of Social and Health Services, Bread & Roses, staff from The Weekly Volcano (what up Owen!) and members of our homeless communities including Camp Quixote of Olympia. The benefit was dope and raised hundreds of dollars, bags and bags of clothes, and pounds and pounds of food for those in need. It was all done in the name and honor of hip-hop!

Read the rest of my Live From I-5: Hip-hop in the 23560 on the Weekly Volcano Web site. I chat up Ashanti at the Emerald Queen, Todd Denny and the True North Program in Tumwater, and the secret Hip-Hop Congress Party going down in the Olympia-area in honor of founder/president, Shamako Noble.

Peace & Love
