'The Revival'--Groundbreaking Women In Hip Hop Tour Documentary...

"The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It also shows the exchange of lessons between them and up and coming artists DJ Shortee, Eternia, Stacy Epps, and Invincible. This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed and directed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women in independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, it spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters."

Glennisha, owner of The Fembassy {the #1 site on the web for female rappers, their projects & business endeavors} and my sister in the love of hip hop and blogging, will also be featuring weekly interviews with the artists from The Revival on her website.

The Fembassy is also one of the sponsors for Sohipotome 2010.
