The event was called B-Girl Be, it took place at @intermedia_arts and was founded/organized by women either from or in the Hip Hop community in Minnesota. I worked on research, sponsorship, booking artists/speakers alongside the rest of the all-women/femme committee. U know who
did not sponsor the event? U know who was NEVER there? It was @rhymesayers. Furthermore, I used to be the business manager of MF DOOM, for many years. He had a preexisting relationship with RSE and I rarely but sometimes interacted with them. I loved Los Nativos, signed to RSE...
I had a choice this week, an extremely difficult choice where I could of made a good chunk of money. But I would've had to deal with/talk to/negotiate with an executive at RSE/Rhymesayers. My Sister @PsalmOne and a cadre of other humans have already said it is #BoycottRhymesayers
There are a number of cases within the label, in particular members of DOomtree and the punk/hip hop MC P.O.S. a variety of accusations and alleged incidents. I'm an abolitionist I am not a sit around and wait for a white man in a uniform or a robe to tell me to BELIEVE WOMEN.
I always believe all women. If a woman says such and such tried to r*pe her, I believe the woman. If verifiable proof comes out later to the contrary, perhaps I'll take her words with a grain of salt, but IT COSTS YOU NOTHING to believe women when they tell you about abuse/rape.
