My brothers DC toBC and The Gee Pee (are you with me) have Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist KENDRICK LAMAR in DC at the 9:30 Club, making it his first-ever public show in the nation’s capital. The Compton standout is expected to sell out the 1200 capacity venue thanks to his loyal following in the DC metropolitan area. Kendrick will be joined on stage by fellow label mate SCHOOLBOY Q as he cycles through his hits spanning from his early career to his most recent project, the critically acclaimed #Section80. Also sharing the spotlight for the evening are buzzing DMV natives PHIL ADE and PHIL DA PHUTURE, both signees of Grammy nominated crooner Raheem DeVaughn’s 368 Music Group, as well as Houston’s own ASHTON TRAVIS, a lyrical mastermind recently crowned winner of the Hip-Hop Unplugged Series, hosted by Def Jam’s Lenny Santiago and MTV’s Sway. You never know who else may pop up, either. There are still a few tickets yet to this show. When I say a few, I mean like if you refresh your page they may be gone. So make sure you get one while you can.
Below is a compilation of music titled "Hello World" to introduce you to all five of the artists performing tomorrow done by DC to BC. Click on the cover to download the mix.

Founded by Berry Gordy as Tamla Records on January 12, 1959, the company was incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in 1960. The name derived from the words motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit. Motown is easily the most important and influential black label of all time. It was the first record label owned by an African American to primarily feature African-American artists. They not only did a lot for music in America, they also help the racial integration of that time. They had that great "Motown Sound" that was undeniably good which made their music able to crossover to all races all over the word.
