LOCAL HIP HOP FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IT >>>

I highly suggest hitting the one-year anniversary of S.P.'s "We Out Here Showcase." This goes down Saturday, June 18, at Clover Park Technical College in the McGavick Center, building #23. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. with a $10 cover. S.P. is a Washington State hip-hop legend. I'm not going to break down his history in this article. He has been written about-deservedly-many times before.

So what's new for S.P.? He plans to expand his successful brand, "We Out Here Showcase" and his M.C. battles into Tacoma and Portland. If ya a hungry up-and-comer or if ya have some new material to bust out, hit up S.P. for a slot in one of his showcases. He can be found on Facebook.
