As many of you know, the true Godfather of hip hop, Kool Herc, is suffering from illness and lack of health insurance. First reported by the great DJ Premier on his blog, there has been a strong online campaign to take up collections to help this man with his medical bills. There have been a couple fundraisers across the country, notably in NYC, LA, and SF, and tonight DJ Intel and myself are throwing the Chicago edition at Butterfly Social Club. We got basically every dope DJ in Chicago to come rock it, strictly on vinyl, to benefit the man who in one way or another impacted our lives for the better. After Butterfly, we will heading over to Empire Liquors where my brother Rude 1 will be rocking with special guest D-Styles. Collections will be taken there as well. Huge thanks to Intel, DJ Trilogy and Rude for the venue hookups and support. Details on the flyer below, and peep more info on Herc HERE.
