Inebriated Rhythm and the city of Boston will
present the first annual Hip-Hop Peace and Unity Festival in Boston, Massachusetts,
on July 19, to celebrate hip-hop’s cultural diversity.
The free event will feature a roundtable discussion
conducted by KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane and Pharoahe Monch, with city businessmen,
servicemen and congressmen from Boston, hoping to ensure that city officials
provide a constructive outlet for local youth.
There will also be a fundraiser to raise money
for youth programs that have been hampered by cut backs to community social
programs.
Rappers in attendance include Skillz, PMD, EDO
G, Shuman, Electric, Dezmontero, L da Headtoucha, T-Max, Checkmark, Illin P
and others.
