The VORTEX and Uprise!

Featuring performances by Ebony Stewart (Radio Silence: a word opera), a hot new female rap group "Graffiti Tongue", Black Listed Individuals, and many, many more. The night will also feature DJ S.T.A.T.I.K. 3 nights only--Thursday December 11th, Friday December 12th , and Saturday December 13th.

Zell is also the creator and co-producer of the Hip-Hop Theater Explosion which features poets, MC’s, DJ’s, dancers, and musicians in a theatrical variety show. He hosts “Speaking the Spoken: The Art of Verse” a monthly open mic series at The VORTEX.
