Rhymefest

Rhymefest and others are playing the festival, which for the first time will be held in Millennium Park.

Chicago rapper Add-2 will perform as part of the program Tuesday evening.

The house in South Shore will be run by West's nonprofit, Donda's House.

"We refuse to accept that it is a South Side or West Side problem," the church's pastor said.

The Grammy winner says people are glad he's shining a light on Chicago's problems.

"Had that officer acted appropriately, we'd be dealing right now with who did the mugging," Rahm said.

Grammy-winner Rhymefest said he was robbed at gunpoint Saturday morning in Grand Boulevard.

Mayoral challenger Jesus "Chuy" Garcia will host a fundraiser at the West Loop palace Sunday.

The party will be in walking distance to the home bases for the Emanuel and Garcia camps Tuesday night.

Rev. Jesse Jackson has led Christmas services at the jail for several decades.

"It wouldn't make sense for this library to be anywhere else," said the Grammy-winning rapper.

Chicago's own Kanye West is likely the unannounced headliner at Union Park Sunday, hip hop fans agree.

No acts have been announced or tickets sold for the Sept. 20 festival, now to be held in Union Park.

The native Chicago rappers also unveiled a new South Side music festival.

Hip-hop music is being used by community leaders to better communicate with youth.
