This week's Baltimore City Paper features the latest installment of my local hip-hop column Rap Sheet, which includes news about Shaka Pitts and The Mid-Atlantic Battle Association's next rap battle tournament at the 5 Seasons, and about the forthcoming Von Vargas album World Famous Lexington Market. I also included a list of the most followed Baltimore rappers on Twitter.
Also in this week's paper, The Short List as usual, and an interview with Travis Morrison of The Dismemberment Plan, one of my favorite bands, who are playing Baltimore this weekend. A longer version of the interview is also available on the Noise blog.

National Hip Hop 4 Haiti Food & Clothing Drive
Presented By: Honey Management, Deep Freeze Ent., Caring for Others
Date: Saturday January 30, 2010
Location: The 5 Seasons 830 Guilford Avenue Baltimore, MD 21202
Time: 2pm to 7pm
In an effort to aid the people of Haiti who have faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced, we present the Hip Hop 4 Haiti Food & Clothing Drive. Hip Hop 4 Haiti is a National Day on Jan 30, 2010 where each city youth & hip hop community will host an event to donate food & clothing to Haiti. This event will allow those who want to show their support and help a cause greater than them, because Hip Hop is UNIVERSAL!
This is an “all ages” event, which means bring the family! There will be live performances from some of Maryland’s well known and socially conscious artists. As well as donations, they have offered to share their talents with us to lift our spirits while the volunteers work diligently to collect and package donations for immediate shipping to HAITI.
We are asking the community to bring non-perishable food items, toiletries, baby care items and clothing with you and enjoy the entertainment. Your support is needed to help the people of Haiti and make this event a success. Please come out and join this great cause.
