More music for you to listen to: Tomorrow night you should head to Metro at around 5ish for the Loyola College Radio Benefit Hip Hop Show, featuring Vakill, Necrobats, Frontline Entertainment MCs, Mac Lethal, Seel, Sureshot, Akbar, Profound, Eratik Statik, Longshot and DJs PNS & Ternaround. Tickets are $10, and it's all ages so you can bring your kid brother (or, if you're R. Kelly, your date). Proceeds benefit WLUW, Loyola's excellent community-run radio station -- which recently got its webcast back up.
