Chicago rap fans, we've got quite the unique event for you to go to tonight. It's the Holiday Rap Karaoke Party, just in time for Thanksgiving, and not like you're usual karaoke outing. It's karaoke, rap-style, and you're in store from performances from Preem Rock (featuring Has-Lo), Pseudo Slang, and Sharkula.
Plus, it's hosted by Psalm One and some more special guests are on tap. Don't miss it tonight - the first of three GWHH-sponsored events this week! You're in for a fun time and somethin' different, starting tonight.
