MuAmin Collective Record Release Show/Obnox/Kent Archie & DJ Nuera

MuAmin Collective has been a fixture on the local hip-hop scene in the city for over ten years. During that time, the crew has seen a few different lineups —some featured local poet and musician R.a. Washington and local musician Dwayne "G.O.R.K." Pigee, who was killed in February 2016, but the two constants have always been emcee Josiah "Zion" Quarles and producer Aaron "A-Live" Snorton. The group will release its latest album, The Hues Brothers, next week, and it's a family affair as it's a collaboration between Quarles and his brother, James "Jungle Jim" Quarles. Movies such as Menace II Society, The Book of Eli and Dead Presidents inspired the songs. (Emanuel Wallace)
