On The Road With AIDS Awareness: Stories From The Chopper Charity Tour 5

Chopper Tickets - Win a Vancouver custom chopper and support AIDS awareness.

What better way to promote AIDS Awareness then by throwing a party— so that’s what we’re doing, with help from some good friends we’re throwing a hip-hop show at The Standard Nightclub in Langley on May 23rd.

Our friends at Shady Minx Models, Mayhem and Clothing have been looking to collaborate with the 2008 AIDS Awareness Custom Chopper Contest and offered to throw in a fashion show complete with club-wear and lingerie. With these gorgeous girls showing off their latest designs what better way to promote safe sex then by showing people that it’s sexy.

We have Universal Recording Artist and Vancity’s Underground R&B King B. Diamond headlining this all-local event.

B. Diamond was one of the first people to jump on board. When he told us he wanted to headline we were definitely excited. B and Vancouver Chopper have a mutual friend who had been telling me for months how awesome he was and when I checked out his MySpace page I was definitely impressed.

But B wasn’t the only artist to sign up for the show. Kris Monico and The Titans were quick to jump on board too.

My boss had actually been fortunate enough to catch Kris at a concert in Vancouver and when I told him Kris was signed on he was definitely happy to hear he was performing at our party. Kris is the self-proclaimed “Sinatra of Rap” and has been an underground fan-favorite in Greater Vancouver for years.

To round the party off it was Monico who nominated the rap collective T.I.T.A.N.S. to join him and B on stage. T.I.T.A.N.S. have been in the rap game for almost ten years now representing Vancouver in the underground scene. The crew is made up of a diverse group of rappers with different cultural and geographic backgrounds. Hailing from all over Canada this collective delivers inspirational lyrics over the funkiest of beats.

With three of the best hip-hop outfits set to take the stage we are ready to roll and May 23rd will be an epic night with a great message for all.
