“Kosha Dillz, born Rami Matan Even-Esh, is an Israeli American Emcee who has exploded on the scene these past few years, elevating culture into mainstream with raw east coast appeal guerilla tactic stage performance.. A master of Freestyle/improv tactics and versatility, his original career as battle MC/Divsion I Wrestler helped him become a D.I.Y. ambassador, releasing independent projects that have earned him stripes all around the world, from shows with the late Guru of Gangstarr and Roger Daltrey of The Who, to press in Billboard, MTV, Spin and The Los Angeles Times. ”

Kosha’s shows are very energetic, and very fun to watch. You wont regret paying admission. Also playing are Des Moines’ own prettygirlhatemachine, who are steadily gaining momentum within the local scene, looking to enhance their live performance, and express their vision through new, more creative avenues. Touchnice of Maxilla Blue, easily one of the best DJ’s in the state, always bringing forth a jaw-dropping performance on the wheels of steel. And newcomer to the Des Moines scene, Kris Adams. A young talent from Austin, Tx recently relocated to Des Moines and eager to be heard in this city. This will be a fantastic hip hop show, and is only $5 at the door. Come have fun with us!

Just a quick reminder about a show we have coming up at The Vaudeville Mews. It’s goin’ down on Saturday, January 22nd at 9 pm. I’m very excited about this one, because we are rockin’ with my favorite two artists in the DMI, Young Tripp, and Maxilla Blue. Also playing is Neon Current who’s starting to build a buzz of their own. And last but not least, Ace (Waterloo, IA). This show will set the tone for hip hop shows in the D in 2011, and honestly will be hard to match all year. Make sure you come out and rock with us.

Peace.

Two years ago Hoodies for Humanity provided one of the hardest rocked hip hop shows of the year for the city of Des Moines, while also providing countless hoodies for Iowa’s homeless youth donated to IHYC. This year, Maxilla Blue along with Richie Daggers of D.C.M return from 2008′s fightcard to beat the wood out of the stage once again, this time accompanied by Young Tripp (D.C.M), Neon Current, prettygirlhatemachine & Ace (Waterloo), all of whom hold a significant foothold in their scene’s movement and approach their craft with a dedication illustrated in each performance, at the expense of the listeners’ necks.

As always, the five dollar admission fee may be substituted with the donation of a clean hoodie in wearable condition. Hoodies collected will be donated to a local charity to benefit the youth and those less fortunate in the winter months… The show is dedicated to progression in one’s local scene, the decimation of wack rap, and the notion of lending a hand to a brother or sister, as you would have them do for you. For us, its always hoodie weather. Come rock in it.

Music, photo, video, and show UPDATES coming very soon… In the meantime check us out at ReverbNation.com/prettygirlhatemachine
