JC Poppe Listening Party

During a busy 2010 that he spent blogging about the local hip-hop scene, promoting shows and managing a stable of local rappers, Milwaukee rapper JC Poppe continued to write and record his own materialenough of it, in fact, for two albums. At a listening party tonight, he’ll preview both of those records. Shadowlands, the more introspective and autobiographical of the two, documents Poppe’s history with the local rap scene and collects his thoughts on the state of rap. The politically charged Tea Party, meanwhile, is dominated by themes of social strife and ideological division. Both records are streaming on Bandcamp in advance of their Jan. 24 release. Kid Millions and DJ Bizzon will spin hip-hop records throughout the night.
