VirgoTwins — the Chicago-born/West Coast-based duo of MC Gilead7 (of Chicago hip-hop legends Tomorrow Kings) and San Diego-based underground producer Boricua Sandy (Roc Marciano, 2MEX). The duo is performing at Corazon del Barrio on Saturday, July 8 in support of their new album, "ArtSpace" (out now). "ArtSpace" is a ten-song meditation reminiscent of underground hip-hop during the early 2000s (think Atmosphere’s "Overcast!" And Sonic Sum’s "The Sanity Index"). Sandy — known for her work in San Diego’s underground scene — produced the album’s lush and intelligent instrumentals while Gilead7 floats imaginative and sharp bars on top. The Chicago Sun Times reviewed the album, saying ""ArtSpace" is a stunner, as lavish conceptually as it is musically; the album rewards close — and repeated — listening.” Stay Connected on Social Media!

Marisa DeLuca (She/Her) is a post-contemporary artist working in painting, drawing, and photography. Her practice examines intersections between time, memory, impermanence, and critical theory. She received her BA in Visual Arts (Studio) from UCSD in 2021 and is currently pursuing her MFA at San Diego State University's School of Art + Design. Sourcing original photographs from the Oceanside Historical Society's archives and incorporating materials from dismantled antique homes Marisa will continue to investigate the origins of cycles of disappearance and remnant from a new angle - anchored in the city she loves. Marisa continues her creative research into memory and forgetting, permanence and catastrophic change in this limited series, transubstantiating the charred remains of the home located at 610 Minnesota Avenue into reliquary paintings.

Calls for Harvard and MIT presidents to step down remain firm while a growing number of students and faculty are coming out in support of their school leaders.

Matt Rife has exploded as one of the fastest growing comedians through his viral content and remarkable engagement on TikTok, where he has amassed over 13 million followers, and more than 2 billion views globally. As one of the most buzzed about comedians in the business, Rife has been selling-out comedy clubs and theaters across the country and is gearing up to embark on his biggest tour to-date with Live Nation, the Matt Rife: "ProbleMATTic" World Tour, kicking off on July 20th. Rife brings forth his refreshingly genuine presence along with elevated material that is quick witted and vulnerable. From a small town near Columbus Ohio, Matt started performing at the age of fifteen then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood. In addition to stand-up, he made his television debut on MTV’s "Wild 'N Out" as the youngest cast member in history for four seasons before moving on to other MTV properties, such as hosting the reboot of TRL and appearing on The Challenge. Other credits include "Brooklyn Nine-Nine", "Fresh Off The Boat", "BET’s North Of The 10", and NBC’s comedy competition show "Bring The Funny". In 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed through YouTube his first one-hour comedy special, "Only Fans". This past April, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his highly anticipated second stand-up special, "Matthew Steven Rife" on YouTube. The special was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. He’ll be taping his third stand-up special this fall in Washington, DC.
