Meta Sarmiento headlines his launch concert for his new project: Jungle Rules & Other Poems - A Lyrical Lookbook. The publication combines lyrics, poetry, and photos by Olivia Jones to bring Meta's focus on fire to life - from Molotovs in old gang riots to the burning dreams of immigrants. He'll be supported by some of Denver's finest: Jaiel, Monica the Great, ALPHV, and will be joined on stage by the Padayon Cultural Dancers for his feature performance. The evening will be full of live hip-hop, rap, and r&b.
