MINNESOTA SUMMIT RECAP:
The chapter at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN hosted their first regional summit this past weekend. The incredible event brought artists such as Alex Schein, The Bedouin, Toki Wright, Culture Shock Camp, Proof, Kanser and many more to fans eager to experience something different on the campus. The highlight of the weekend was an incredible representation of Native Hip Hop by Culture Shock Camp and Night Shield Entertainment. Their panel discussion helped to spread the good sounds of Indigenous Hip Hop. After this weekend, it is hard to say there is only cold, cold tundra in Moorhead. Congrats to the organizers and advisor Amer Ahmed who continues to put it down for HHC since 2000.
