Kickin' It New School

In a basement studio at the corner of Oakwood and Amherst, a small group of hip-hop hopefuls has been meeting for the past ten weeks. Under the tutelage of urban music veteran Dan-e-o (best known, perhaps, for his 1995 single, “Dear Hip Hop”), these emerging rappers have literally learnt it all; from rhyming to freestyling, to writing, recording and producing their own tracks—Dan-e-o’s students aren’t playing pretend. And on Sunday, May 31, they're hosting a block party—a real block party—to celebrate the release of their new album, Visionists.
