Believed to be a first-of-its-kind showcase, it will also see the famed MC Solomon launch his latest album, Behind The Mask. The CEO of Kamani Record, the MC has been determined to highlight the quality of Indian hip hop.
After performing at Glastonbury and with the likes of Skinnyman and Akala, as well as organising the Goa Hop festival, MC Solomon is venturing to Liverpool to show off his new material thanks to the collaboration with 20 Winston Records.
20 Winston Records owner Rakeem Abiru, who is also performing on the night, said: “I’m really excited about this night. It’s a very unique event as it brings together different cultures and artists with Asian and Jamaican backgrounds — a melting pot of different sounds and styles from hip hop and jungle to reggae and dub.”
He continued: “It’s also a very special collaboration between Liverpool and London — with some exceptional talent from both the North and the South. We have the likes of Craig Charles’ son Jack Tyson Charles and they have a great roster of talent led by the incredible MC Solomon — he’s a titan of Indian hip hop so it’s really exciting to have him up here for his album launch.”
The event is being held at The Blossom Tree, a shisha restaurant, bar and events space located on Myrtle Street, just further up from Hardman Street. Festivities kick off at 8pm, with a host of top artists from London and Liverpool and DJs taking the night into the early hours on the bank holiday weekend.
