True Hip Hop Returns To New York City

New York, NY, April 26, 2007 - Underground hip hop invades Club Midway on Saturday, May 12th. The show marks the triumphant homecoming of Metermaids, Broke, and Domer after a twenty city guerilla onslaught of America aptly named the "Unnatural Disasters Tour." After successful shows at SXSW in Austin, TX and the Viper Room in Los Angeles these emcees are back and set to rock the crowd in their homebase of NYC.

Metermaids (www.MetermaidsNYC.com) is an underground act that is poised to explode on the national scene. Their single "Don't Sleep" stormed college radio, peaking at number 11 on the CMJ Hip Hop Chart in a nine week stay in the top 20. Metermaids features two emcees: Swell, whose emotive and contemplative lyrics pair with the unique voice and powerful flow of Sentence to deliver a one-two punch of floor stomping hip hop. John Laird of music blog Side One: Track One says Metermaids "has some insanely catchy stuff that blurs the line between hip hop and indie pop in ways I haven't heard before."

Proder/emcee Domer (www.iamdomer.com) will perform as well in celebration of the release of his new full length album "Work With Me" on UK label Skipping Beats. Domer's innovative abstract hip hop features introspective, poetic observation paired with a hook laden, pop sensible flow. Domer's music has been heard on Nikebasketball.com and in Sony-Ericsson ads, starting on the 12th, you can take it home with you.

The brokeMC ( www.brokemc.com) is an award winning poet whose songs feature decorative articulate wordplay paired with futuristic un-conventional beats. Over the past five years brokeMC has been carving his name deep into the brick walls of the New York Indie Hip Hop scene. His distinctive flow and engaging live performance have quickly earned him recognition as one of New York's Elite MCs. This performance celebrates brokeMC's third independent solo release, "Make it better."

The evening will feature special guest Bisc1 ( www.bisc1.com) of Embedded Music. The New York Hip Hop phenom will bring his visceral explanations of the joys he gets from performing in front of an audience, honing talent at battles and open mics, and investing in his future via constant travel on the network of iron rails beneath New York City. C.O.N.C.E.P.T., Brooklyn emcee and founder of the Mindspray Crew, will open the evening and DJ Halo, Hip Hop taste maker of Connecticut radio stations WPKN/WPKM & WVOF, will spin the best of old and new school hip hop between sets.
