UNDIVIDED 2015: Hip-Hop Unity Concert & Mixer

UNDIVIDED 2015: Hip-Hop Unity Concert & Mixer took place at City Life Church in San Francisco on September 19, 2015, opening with a mixer and networking hour at 6:00 PM. 236 people responded on Facebook, 184 of them marking that they attended.

The UNDIVIDED series had been planned to conclude with its fifth installment in November 2014. This night was staged as a special one-off concert, and when the series carried on and ultimately ran to ten installments, UNDIVIDED 2015 took its place as the sixth. It is the only installment branded by year rather than number, which is why the series numbering appears to skip from five to seven.

Presented by GBIMC and Lyrical Opposition, it was an admission-free concert built around inspiring conscious and faith-based art communities through hip-hop, spoken word poetry, and acoustic sets. Tamales and Mexican hot chocolate were sold to support a missionary traveling to Australia.

Hosted by Aaron Horner of Soulciety and Sounds Magnificent, with a DJ set by DJ Unknown.

Performances by Astralogik (acoustic and electronica), Jreillah P (hip-hop), BxCause (spoken word), iiND Nature (hip-hop and spoken word), Johnny Why (alternative hip-hop), Diverse Dialect (hip-hop), Paul Simpson (spoken word), BC the Marksman (hip-hop), Drew Allen (hip-hop and R&B), Savannah Goodell (acoustic and spoken word), Hazel Rose (hip-hop), BQM (hip-hop), and Son the Gifted (hip-hop).
