JOSE S. GUTIERREZ: LIVE FROM I-5 â€" HIP-HOP IN THE 25360 >>>

The cats from Fresh Blends officially ended their reign in Tacoma as the premier hip-hop/rap show promoters with last nights final bang at Hell’s Kitchen.

This is a sad day for hip-hop in The 25360 as Fresh Blends and the Homeland Security (Olympia) based shows are two of the only consistently produced events that showcase the culture with quality and local and national talent. Last night’s lineup and event was a practical “who’s who” of The 25360 rap community with Island Trybe, XP, Junkyard Gang, Gran Rapids, Evergreen One, Dice and SP all taking the stage to do their thang-thang in tribute to the dope hip-hop program.

Read more about the show, plus an upcoming worthy show at The Royal and the new Blaqkout album in my column here.
