Salim at Sonar with Talib Kweli Next Friday, July 27

I have to give huge love to Salim (read a review of Hip Hop Revisited here) because he just got booked to open for Talib Kweli at Sonar here in B-more on July 27. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.

Be sure to check out Episode 3 of the Any Given Tuesday podcast which features Salim, too.
