If you ask a minor walking around the city of Tacoma who their favorite local M.C. is - more than likely they'll tell ya Lil Ripp. He's the young Hilltopper who caught our attention when he ingeniously turned "Rack City" into "Tac City" and lit a match under the local Hip-Hop scene. Following "Tac City" he released a host of other Hip-Hop video's, each one seemingly better than the last. His topics grew from weed, to girls, then all the way to grown-man topics like travelling and Trayvon Martin. He's got the O.G.'s of the scene on his side also. There may be no stopping this kid.
Ripp has a rare local-performance this Friday, June 1st at the Asia Pacific Cultural Center, 4851 S. Tacoma Way. Tickets are sold-out, but there are still some $10 tickets at the door. The fact that this show is sold-out is proof to this young-man's buzz. Rozay, a swag rapper, is also on the bill. Come see the glory that is Tacoma Youth and grab yourself a K.N.O.W. shirt while you're there. Then maybe you can look cool. The show starts at 9pm. Right now currently on the Facebook invite page there are 251 people confirmed for the show!
