Being true to the game Red5 (aka Walt Diesel/Dizzle) reps the Bay's rich and diverse sound. Whether it be Hiphop, alternative rock, or electronica, , Red 5 gots yo back...as long as it HOT. Dont be a hater, support your local music scene and its talented artists. You've supported Metallica, 2Pac, Too short, Papa roach, and Greenday. Now its time to support E-40, Keek da Sneak, the Federation, Paw Ray, Z.O.N.K., Mr. F.A.B! So get out there and request them on MTV and your local hiphop radio stations. ONE

Did you know that 825+ people have been killed in the Philippines since 2001? Regular people...students, teachers, lawyers, workers, journalists, clergy, human rights workers, etc. Witnesses have pointed to elements of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in carrying out these killings. Yet not one person has been tried or convicted for any of these deaths. President Arroyo's government has done nothing to stop to these atrocities.
For us living in the U.S.A. it's a little sticky. The U.S. government has been providing excessive amounts of military assistance to the Philippine government. Reports from the Library of US Congress state that the total U.S. military assistance to the Philippines rose from $38 million in 2001 to $114 million in 2003 and a projected $164 million in 2005. That's our tax dollars potentially subsidizing death squads of the Philippine military at the cost of the Filipino people.
Come out to the show to learn a bit more about the issue and find out how you can get involved.
