Arise 11/16 Anti-corporate hiphop open mic

'Arise...' is a monthly open mic joint for conscious hip hop, spoken word/poetry in the East Bay, created due to the noticeable shortage of venues for conscious, independent hip hop open mic in the East Bay area. Advocating an anti-corporate, do-it-yourself attitude, 'Arise...' is a space for everyone who's into hip hop and spoken word as a revolutionary minded culture to come make it their own. Show up early to sign up for open mic.
