I'm performing at a show tomorrow called Night of Fire. It's a benefit concert for African immigrant and refugee youth, and funds raised at the even will go towards $5,000 scholarships for 10 students. I am so excited to be part of it! If you're in the edmonton area, make sure to check it out...it would be the best $25 you spent on a friday night. The main act is a reggae group called Souljah Fyah, for those of you who have heard them, you already know! For those who haven't, they are absolutely fantastic, so go and get a ticket immediately. Politic Live will also be performing, they're basically the face of hiphop in the edmonton community right now, and their community involvement is astounding. I've been blessed to work with them on their upcoming compilation called Jali (More on this later). This project will really bring to light the hidden struggles of immigrant or refugee students. Getting to Canada is really only the first half of the battle, they often find themselves with such a financial burden that they eventually drop out of school. We all know that education is KEY! Which is why this event is so important. So be there or be square!
