Southern Cali's Grande Dame of Hip-Hop, Miki Vale has dedicated a major amount of her artistic prowess to the aid of those in need. Her latest charitable endeavor is called The Upliftment Project, which was founded to raise awareness towards the desperate and displaced people of the world. Through private donations and benefit concerts, the project hopes to bring an educated consciousness, in regard to the ongoing genocide in many oppressed & war torn countries such as Darfur, Myanmar, Iraq and The Congo.
The Upliftment Project is also utilized locally, by offering their assets to assist the homeless in San Diego County, giving less fortunate individuals the ability to discover their own power. As of late, their efforts have raised over $2,000, all of which has been donated to the International Rescue Committee which provides humanitarian aid through their vast network of first responders, relief workers, healthcare providers, educators, community leaders, activists, and volunteers, worldwide.
This Friday at The Kava Lounge, Visionaries member Dannu of Writer's Block, will host a massive show which features Grammy Award Nominated artist Mystic, who will be performing live for the cause, along side SDMA favorites Deep Rooted, Sleeping Giant Artist herself Miki Vale, Anti-Citizens, DJ's Cleancut and Hektik plus Katzgroove from Satch-Boogie's highly respected Illfonix crew, who tear it up live and on their weekly Jazz 88.3 radio show, which is not to be missed.
