With Monument Music and Arts, the forward-thinking charitable organization, you can expect them to put together a great live performance while supporting an important cause. With the city of Baltimore, you can always count on getting a cold Natty Boh, being attacked by gulls from the Inner Harbor, and hearing a fresh new voice in music. Tonight at DC9, watch as these two elements collide into one event that you will not want to miss—Monument Presents DDm, A Benefit for STAR TRACK.
Emannuel “DDm” Moss has made a name for himself as one of the most innovative, ferocious, and vibrantly energetic voices in Baltimore hip-hop today. From mixtapes, to remixes, to features, DDm has put a new spin on what people have to come expect from the genre. With his single “Killer Queen,” he not only came out as “Baltimore’s first openly gay rapper,” but he made it loud and clear that he’s not going to subscribe to any standard or expectations. The lyrics to his songs and the demeanor that follows tell his listeners that it’s okay to do the same.
Together, Monument, along with DC legend Sean Peoples and DDm, will not just be offering a wild show, popping music and dancing for all, but awareness for the STAR TRACK program. STAR TRACK [Special Teens At Risk—Together Reaching Access, Care, and Knowledge] from the University of Maryland Medical Center has been offering comprehensive and thorough care and support to at-risk and HIV positive teens in and around Baltimore city since 1989. STAR TRACK promotes healthier life-styles and alternatives that help reduce risky sexual behavior.
So come get a taste of Baltimore without the hassle of I-95, support an amazing foundation, and dance the night away. With these elements together, you can count on a great time. Doors are at 8 PM and the show starts at 8:30 PM. Tickets are $10, and all proceeds go to STAR TRACK.
