Tickets for this all ages show can be purchased in advance for $10 at www.amusicexperience.com, or $15 at the door. The Chicago Hip Hop Classic will bring together artists, industry executives and music lovers in one explosive celebration. “Chicago is long overdue for a breakthrough in hip hop music, where the entire music community embraces and recognizes local talent,” says GO Sity Entertainment CEO Boaz “Bo Beniz” McGee about the inspiration for creating The Chicago Hip Hop Classic. “The Classic is neutral territory. Everybody can shine, “ he adds. In recent years, the limelight has shined bright on Chicago’s hip hop community with the international success of native tongues like Common, Kanye West, Twista and Lupe Fiasco.

With everyone working together, Chicago artists can have success here just like their counterparts in Atlanta, Houston, L.A. and New York,” shares Greg “Olskool Ice-Gre” Lewis, founding member of Chicago’s pioneering duo Abstract Mindstate and A&R for G.O.O.D Music.   By showcasing some of Chicago’s best emerging artists and creating a prime opportunity to network with professionals in the music and business communities, The Chicago Hip Hop Classic marks a step in the right direction toward Chicago becoming the new hub of hip hop music.  To sample music from the featured artists, visit:Pheave (Blackground Records recording artist), www.myspace.com/leaderboardpheave Que B.I.L.L.A.H (“Unsigned Hype,” Source Magazine, January 2005), www.myspace.com/quebillah  Gemstones (named one of “10 Hip-Hop Artists to Watch in 2009” by About.com), www.myspace.com/fnfgemstones    Polie Da Great (6 time Crowd Control Concert Series feature artist), www.myspace.com/dagreatpolie Twone Gabz (featured on the single “Hip Hop” from DJ Jazzy Jeff’s The Return of the Magnificent), www.myspace.com/twonegabz  Jak Frost (single “Wutham” feat.
