SUMMARY:Dom Kennedy / Rich Hil / POLY - Mon. April 16 at Slim's - all 
 ages!
DESCRIPTION:Dom Kennedy graced the streets of Los Angeles in 2008 with
  the release of his debut project, titled \"25th Hour.\" The Leimert P
 ark native, born August 22, 1984, made a name for himself by promoting
 , distributing and, along with Jason Madison, co-producing the \"25th 
 Hour\" mix-tape. After receiving local and nationwide praise, Dom foll
 owed up in the spring of 2009 with the independent release of \"Future
  Street/Drug Sounds,\" an all-original collection that seized the atte
 ntion of major labels, blogs and Hip Hop fans worldwide. In the fall o
 f 2009, Dom teamed up with DJ Sour Milk of Power 106 and the Los Angel
 es Leakers to produce his third and most recent project, titled \"Best
  After Bobby.\" On March 25th, 2010 Dom released \"From The Westside, 
 With Love\" a free download, that plays like a true studio album. This
  release would legitimize his fan base nation-wide, receiving over 65 
 thousand downloads.  Dom remembers, at the age of 12, when he would li
 sten to the great Hip-Hop records of that time envisioning what life w
 ould be like if the world could hear what he had to say. He would walk
  around the house free styling, and performing for his mom and sisters
  who were amazed by the amount of talent he possessed at such a young 
 age. \"Leimert Park, what's cool?\" Dom explains, “is a common theme
  used in my music to show the significance of the neighborhood that bi
 rthed me.\" Dom's responsibility to his family, his neighborhood and t
 he younger generation, is what drives his dedication to Hip Hop. \"I k
 now what rap did for me when I was younger and how it affected me... a
  chance to do that and give it back, I had to.\" Dom often speaks abou
 t his feeling of obligation to the youth. \"When I would listen to Out
 kast for example, it would take me right to the streets of Savannah, G
 A where I could almost feel myself riding in a Cadillac with Big Boi a
 nd Dre. It gave me that sense of security, that acceptance, as if I wa
 s apart of something. Its beyond important for the kids today to see t
 hat they can do it too, I don’t mind being the example.\"  As Dom go
 t older he began to appreciate the music as an art form thus, allowing
  him to identify with an evolving culture. He understood the art of mu
 sic and was able to utilize this understanding as an avenue for self-e
 xpression. His language now portrays a level of poise and maturity tha
 t gives evidence to his musical genius. \"I'm probably the best Kenned
 y after Bobby...\" Dom puts in plain words and explains, \"this shows 
 the connection I feel with being a leader and someone people can look 
 up to in the future to speak for generations, always with style and pr
 esence.\"  \"Hello world, I've arrived,\" is Dom's motto for everyone.
  His main objective is to make a global impact through music so that h
 is message lives on. Dom has been verbally endorsed by many, including
  John Monopoly, Kenny Burns, Rick Ross, Taz Arnold of Sa-Ra, and The H
 undreds just to name a few. Where a career in music was once a dream f
 or Dom Kennedy, it has now become a reality.\n\nFor more information v
