| Hip Hop Video Captures the "Abnormality" of Junk Food
Chicago hip hop artist D-Nick
The Microphone Misfit has recorded a funny, catchy tribute to real
food called "Abnormality," (watch it here) which
takes its chorus from the definition of what it means to be healthy.
D-Nick has entered his video in the One Chicago, One Nation contest,
whose goal is to reward "videos that tell the stories of people in
Chicago from different backgrounds working together for the common
good." Please watch the video, share it with friends, and show your
support by voting for D-Nick--voting ends on May 9th. |
