The Party Platform features a summit of Detroit’s wiry young turk type rapping class bringing their post-oughts oddball-ish sweetly-acerbic and genre-jostling rhyme spills into an Irish Pup of all places -ostensibly to toast the end of the painful campaign season- and more visibly the prop the release of a new single by party head JP (John Panich) a.k.a. JP from the HP.
That’s right…
Hip-hop in Hazel Park.
Should be an interesting, if even just from an anthropological/observational conduction – to blast beats and spit rhymes inside an otherwise neon-light-adorned sports-bar aesthetic, curtained with vibrant greens, whites and oranges… (@The House of Shamrocks! on John R). Get the show info from JP’s site.
Come raise a glass o’ Guiness to JP and his mates: Of Mice & Musicians / Doc Waffles / Jonas G & the Fantastic Three / and Gio Blaze.
