MOBFest: Chicago Underground Hip Hop Showcase @ Metro

Fri, June 24TH @ Metro
18 & Over
11:00PM / Late Show
 
  MOBFest welcomes the Chicago Underground Hip Hop Showcase as part of this year's music conference. Chicago's music tradition has long been legend among the worlds of blues, gospel, jazz, soul & house and in the last year has quickly emerged as the nation's hot bed of the hip hop world. Following the meteoric rise of Kanye West, coupled with the massive successes of both Common & Twista, the music industry has shifted it's attention to the Windy City in search of the next big thing. As the sole Hip Hop showcase for this year's conference, the Chicago Underground Hip Hop Showcase features acts that are at the peak of their craft. They are the best that Chicago has to offer… they are what’s next. The showcase takes place at Chi-Town's premiere live music venue Metro:
