Beats Drop Cancer presents "iLLER than THRILLER"

RAPstation readers in southern California are invited to join in on Iller Than Thriller pre-Halloween hip hop themed costume party and fundraiser.

The 21+ event, which takes place one week before Halloween on October 23rd, will celebrate hip hop culture while at the same time raising money for a good cause -- a completely non profit cancer clinic that will offer treatment to cancer patients without taking any of their (or even their insurance's) money. Since it's Halloween, costumes are mandatory, and since it's a night of classic hip hop, the event's organizers are suggesting you break out your classic Adidas tracksuits and gold chains.

The event will feature live sets from DJ Lethal, best known for his work with Limp Bizkit and La Coka Nostra, mash-up master DJ Metaphysical, and the classic hip hop influenced duo of Loot.

The VIP room at the event will feature the DJ services of the legendary Spectrum City, featuring DJ Journey and the legendary Keith Shocklee, best known for his work with the Bomb Squad and for producing some of Public Enemy's biggest hits.

The event is being put on by the Beats Drop Cancer organization and The American Music Therapy Association Inc., two groups dedicated to promoting the healing power of music. The event will raise money for Santa Cruz's first music therapy clinic.

The fundraiser will take place at The Argyle in Hollywood. Fans of classic hip hop or those seeking to support a good causecan get tickets for the event here.
