Rappin' to Help the Dogs Out

Chicago son Twista, New York rappers EPMD, and up-and-comer Mic Terror perform Wednesday night at the Metro at a special benefit performance for the Humane Society. If you ever wanted to head to an intimate rap show on the northside, this is your chance. Adding to the evening's entertainment, the Humane Society of the United States will also showcase its End Dogfighting in Chicago campaign through special appearances by the dogs and kids of its Pit Bull Training Team–Chicago. The proceeds from the evening's entertainment will go towards this very worthy cause.

Mic Terror (featured on Ray Protege's Hipster Hop Mixtape) will start the night out at 9pm and doors open at 8pm. Tix $18/adv, $22/door. 18+.

Transmission sits down to talk to some of them about where they're coming from, where they want to go, and what fun manual labor they've performed along on the way.
