Thursday 4/26: You definitely do not want to miss this week's #spitdatdc feature: @realtalkraps ! From his native Chicago to his newer home in Atlanta and plenty of spaces beyond, this wizard of words has wowed crowds with the confounding cleverness of his lyrical and poetic expressions. He's toured with Big Boi of OutKast and had no less than Andre 3000 himself call him "a lyrical technician". Check him out at www.realtalkraps.com and prepare to be entertained and amazed by his wily way with words! @spitdatdc : Thursdays, 8:30pm, 733 Euclid St NW DC (Emergence Community Arts Collective) (at SPIT DAT)
#spitdatdc open mic is in full effect this evening. We welcome you to come spit hot fire like Supa Hot Fire himself or Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan! Every Thursday, 733 Euclid St NW DC, 8:30 signups, 9:00 showtime (at SPIT DAT)
At @spitdatdc shedding some layers of sexism. It's easy to criticize others, but it's trickier to acknowledge our own stuff. I'm happy to have #spitdat , a community which I've helped grow and which has certainly helped me grow. Safe spaces are more important now than ever. #spitdatdc #spithappens . (See many more windows to the intimacy and antics of our church/cipher/Fight Club hybrid at @spitdatdc !) (at Emergence Community Arts Collective)
Our mans @bomaniarmah of @babagotbars busting out his "E.D.P. (Engineering Design Process)" song at #SPITDATDC in promotion of this weekend's #watermelonday Festival. This brother is a teaching artist superhero! Check out his video (and curriculum) at www.babagotbars.com! #YoungAudiences @arts4learning (at SPIT DAT)
@chelseaodera bids @spitdatdc adieu with her sweet, sad, soulful "Swan Song". A breathtaking feature which we won't soon forget. #SpitHappens #SpitDatDC (at SPIT DAT)
"See . . I believe that music is the spirit of the body / The light that reveals the godly . . " ~ @edykachilome , La Professora De La Poetry @spitdatdc #SpitDatDC #SpitHappens (at SPIT DAT)
Professor @edykachilome was gracious enough to share her stage with our own Chelsea Nnebe. A recent @howarduniversity graduate, Chelsea may well be the best singer I've ever heard (and, with all due respect, that includes the Jilly, the Whitney, and the Holy Patti). I joke with her that she'll either sing at my wedding or marry me so she can sing to me forever. Chelsea will be leaving us for Germany soon, but you can catch her featuring at @spitdatdc on June 15! #SpitHappens #SpitDat #SpitDatDC #HisEyeIsOnTheSparrow #ThatChildCouldSANG (at SPIT DAT)
