WesAID presents:
Seattle-based hip-hop duo Blue Scholars are playing at Psi U next Thursday night, don't miss this one:
Blue Scholars have built a hip-hop empire in the Pacific northwest. The classic formula of one DJ and one MC, their resume is well established and only growing, having opened for the likes of Kanye West, De La Soul, Hieroglyphics and Immortal Technique, and participated in the Rock the Bells hip-hop festival. The group combines socially conscious lyrics with funky, funky, funky beats.Here's the Scholars opening for Kanye at Bumbershoot in 2006:

Tickets on sale at Usdan Wednesday, 10/29, until the day of the show, at both lunch (12-1) and dinner (6-7). Tickets are $3, and $5 at the door. You should probably buy them before you are at the door. Wesleyan students only.
Fresh off the release of new mixtapes with Lil Jon and Kanye, DJ Benzi is touring the US leaving a trail of stunned party-goers in his wake. Having collaborated with Sean Kingston, Cool Kids, Pitbull, Nina Sky, Donnis and Kanye, Benzi is an up-and-coming DJ recently named one of the Next 100 by Urb Magazine and has shown up in XXL Magazine, Scratch Magazine, The Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and MTV.
Meanwhile, Wesleyan's own too-hott-to-handle DJ duo Chrome Punch continue to bust down inhibitions and eardrums as they trek to their way to hip-hop infamy. Look for Ian J & Harrison Schaaf '10 to kick it to the next level as they return to the friendly confines of Psi Upsilon.
Its gunna be another one of those memorable ones...Get hype!

The WesDems are hosting an intentionally ironic, "Dirty South/Country Dance Party" at Psi U this Friday, April 6th from 10pm-2am. It's our only fundraiser of the semester so we will be charging $3 at the door. I thought it was worth mentioning as it is quite the distinct party theme and the music has been hand-picked for freshness and quality, much like good produce. The transitions will be seamless, much like the Dungarees I bought for this party (which are two sizes too small), the crescendos timed perfectly, and the tongue served with a side of cheek.Date: Tonight, April 6h
