Berkeley-based Derek Kan of hip-hop duo Magnetic North created this hip-hop tribute to RENT. It may be about not doing so hot academically, but Derek really nails the honor part. Oh, and Derek’s got some serious talent.
If you like what you see, go see Magnetic North + Taiyo Na live in New York on June 4th for the release of their new album, Home:Word.
Also at the event, Hyphen magazine will be celebrating their 20th issue release! Check the Hyphen blog for more info.
And if your parents ask where you’re going and why you aren’t studying, tell them you’re studying the physics of sound or something. Hey, you can also get a fatty discount on Hyphen subscriptions! Deal!
