Hip-Hop Honors tonight; Alex Lee, Redemption later this week

Tonight is VH1's Hip-Hop Honors show, which has become an unofficial hip-hop hall of fame induction ceremony.

This year's honorees include Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Naughty By Nature, Slick Rick and Too Short. It's a deserving class, and all of them are in my favorite artists of all-time list. I'll blog on the show tomorrow.

Also this week, your girl Alex Lee (formerly A.Lee) is performing Wednesday night @ Monterey Live. Show starts at 9 p.m. It's a release party for her new EP "Headphone Heroes," which is a terrific record. Support your girl.

Saturday brings the second installment of Redemption, the b-boy dance competition and showcase. This one goes down @ Fit Athletics, 880 Tioga Ave. in Sand City. Show doors open at 5 p.m., show starts at 5:30 p.m.

That is all.
