National Hip-Hop Artist To Headline Toledo Concert
Toledo, Ohio— August 4, 2011— On August 13, 2011, national Hip-Hop star Head-Roc will headline a fundraising event with a concert performance at the Collingwood Arts Center at 2413 Collingwood Blvd. in the historic neighborhood of the Old West End. Local Toledo Hip-Hop act Great Lakes Crew will open up the show along with DJ Benny Keys. The show will be hosted by Natural.
For over the past 15 years Head-Roc has been regarded as the best that DC Hip-Hop has to offer! Dubbed “The Mayor” of the DC Hip-Hop, Head-Roc has come to embody the passions, hopes and dreams of a wonderfully talented and all too often overlooked DC music scene. His unparalleled ability to reach music lovers of all tastes puts him on par with established national recording artists in both music creation and live performance.
Head-Roc’s honest and relevant lyrics are a refreshing change in this current era of corporate Hip-Hop exploitation. His music has inspired many in the progressive movement to rethink Hip-Hop’s potential for achieving social change and he is widely regarded as one of the key voices in this movement!
“It is really appropriate and fitting that a talent like Head-Roc who lives & breaths beyond his music in taking on the challenges of common people in our society, to play a benefit concert for Green Party candidates for Toledo City Council, Anita Rios (district 4) & Sean Nestor (district 6), since they are doing the same here in Toledo. It is time we elected candidates who put people before political careers and think outside the box” said Amjad Doumani, owner of B-Bop Records in Toledo.
The All Ages concert will begin at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $7 (group discounts available) and are for sale at the following locations: Culture Clash, Allied Record Exchange, RamaLama Records, Shakin’ Street Records, People Called Women, Original Sub Shop, Collingwood Arts Center and AA Records.
The Green Party’s 10 Key Values: Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice & Equal Opportunity, Ecological Wisdom, Non-Violence, Decentralization, Respect for Diversity, Community-Based Economics, Feminism & Gender Equity, Personal & Global Responsibility, and Future Focus & Sustainability.
