Bar Nun on U st hosts open mic nights i think

Bar Nun also hosts swingers nights, so make sure you check the schedule before you go unless you're very adventurous.

From allhiphop.com:

"In an effort to give the world a 'panoramic' view of the Capital City's bustling Hip-Hop scene, leading D.C. based imprints recently joined forces to launch the landmark project, Joint Venture.

The collaboration features acts from Mad Power Unit Records, One Way Records, Block Boss Entertainment and One Up Entertainment."

Oh, I had the name of the U St. Cd store wrong:

ah cool, I hadn't heard about that. One Up is actually more Baltimore-based than D.C., they got Bossman signed to Virgin and are working with a few other Maryland-based artists.
