After the surprise feature from MUTANT ACADEMY on the last RVA SHOWS and SLIMEHOLE hip-hop co-promotion, we jumped at the chance to host one of the founding members and RVA's most shining stars FLY ANAKIN to do a co-headlining set with fellow RVA ruler OHBLIV at Gallery 5! They both have quite the resumes and set ists on their own but also will be celebrating their collaboration "Backyard Boogie," a true anthem for the upcoming RVA Summer! They'll be joined by a killer diverse touring package featuring up-and-comers and city heroes like Massachusetts' AL DIVINO, upstate NY's BILLY ESSCO and Washington DC's absolutely amazing ANKHLEJOHN. As usual when you hear from Ohbliv or Mutant Academy you can damn well expect some surprise guests from RVA's stacked scene so show up to find out who bad!
