There's some good news for the people of Southern California as music and arts festival AFROPUNK just announced its coming to LA. It was revealed today that AFROPUNK LA is set to take place Thursday, October 22nd between 8pm and midnight at a currently undisclosed location under the banner "The Most Wicked Party: LA". The popular Los Angeles venue is revealed after you RSVP. The event lineup includes performances by Mykki Blanco, LE1F, letlive., and AFROPUNK Atlanta Battle of the Bands winners Samurai Shotgun.

Check out Queens-bred emcee/soul artist Dynasty's debut album, "A Star in Life's Clothing", which features guest appearances & production from hip-hop heavyweights like Talib Kweli & DJ Premier among others. The project would stand solid on its own but excels with the additional support.

With a kick-off show taking place tomorrow, AFROPUNK Atlanta is finally at hand. Preparing those attending for the weekend, and giving a taste to those of us who won't be able to make it, they've released the official "AFROPUNK Mixtape #010: Race Music".
