GZA, RJD2 to Play L.A. Tribute Show
On June 14 at Los Angeles' Orpheum Theater, Wu-Tang Clan wordsmith GZA and Philly producer RJD2 will take the stage at an event to honor two area high schoolers who have been killed in the last two years.
The Dill "N" Eddie Show will benefit Dillon's List, founded in memory of Dillon Henry, who died in a car crash in 2007 at the age of 17, and the Resilient Youth Foundation, an organization created and run by high school students to help other young people succeed in school. One of their initiatives is the Eddie Lopez Scholarship, in memory of Eddie Lopez, a 15-year-old who was killed in 2006 by a gang shooting.
There's also a third act on the bill who apparently we aren't allowed to reveal, but, uh, it should be easy to figure it out if you look around the interweb.
GZA and RJD2 all have a number of other dates scheduled for the summer as well.
