FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Hip Hop Upping-the-Anti with Lyrical Force

March 16th, 2011 � Victoria, Coast Salish Territories

Conspire to liberate? Crash the meeting? This April 3rd Solstice Caf�
will host one of the most dynamic hip-hop/spoken word shows this year,
featuring Toronto�s most notorious revolutionary hip-hop artists,
Testament and Illogik, currently on tour with their long awaited debut
album. Together, they call themselves �Test Their Logik,� and they
were reunited after 5 months of state-enforced conditions of
non-association. The duo was charged with conspiracy and other
indictable offences after their music video, �Crash The Meeting,�
which encouraged resistance to Toronto�s G20 summit, went viral.

Joining �Test Their Logik� is Savage Fam, a hard-hitting Indigenous
hip-hop artist from the occupied territories known as Washington
State. Savage Fam embraces the art of lyricism and spoken word as a
useful means to spread messages of hope, pride, and empowerment into
Indigenous communities. Also on set is Mother Tareka, part of a
FUNKtioning hip hop machine Unidentified Funky Objects from Hamilton.
His new solo project, �He found brick inedible,� is an abstract
musical look into his immigrant experience that confronts
neo-colonialist misogyny, and capitalist dogma. Joining the show is
Cleo Madelaine, whose hard beatboxing is matched by her smooth
harmonies and soulful, revolutionary lyrics to �change your mind,� and
Comrade Black, green-anarcho-feminist spoken-word poet. Special guest
host MC Andrea Coates �poet, performer and writer � will be presiding
throughout the evening.

Come out to experience the power of words and rhythms to inspire
radical transformation and freedom.
