Rakim, Common and Lupe Fiasco Pitch in to Save Some Rhino Hide
Friday - April 28, 2006 by Janeé Bolden
Rakim, Common, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco and DJ Z-Trip are scheduled to perform at this summer's Save the Rhinos benefit concert presented by Marc Ecko on June 8.
This is the second year for the benefit, which will be held at New York's Central Park Summerstage. Proceeds from the event will go to the International Rhino Foundation, an organization aiming to double populations of three kinds of rhinos, currently listed among the world's most endangered species.
In related news, Chi-Town natives Rhymefest and Lupe Fiasco are also listed on the bill for the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival on June 24, which is also in its second year.
SOHH recently chopped it up with Lupe about his Atlantic debut, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, being leaked on the internet. [Watch the trailer here and stay tuned for the full feature, "SOHH Focused: Lupe Fiasco" on Friday, May 5]
Tickets for Marc Ecko Presents ... Save the Rhinos can be purchased from Ticketmaster.
