Pulse of the Twin Cities - Maria Isa: Swing down, sweet chariot. Minnesota

“Maybe it’s just me, but I always hear people complaining about the lack of things to do in Minnesota. With last weekends Hip-Hop at Harmony Park, Prince Paul and Lovebug Starski for free at the Dinkytowner, Heat 2006 with Lupe Fiasco, the 5th Annual Twin Cities Celebration of Hip-Hop and B-Girl Be all happening within the span of two months, I find that hard to believe. This upcoming weekend, Intermedia Arts will play host to the informative, all-female four-day summit.

I caught up with 19 year-old rising star Maria Isa as she whipped her champagne-colored Cadillac through the Twin Cities. Fresh off a recent trip performing at Puerto Rico’s Hip-Hop Festival with Mavin MC of Illuminous 3, I got a chance to get some insight on women in Hip-Hop, the Reggaeton movement, and how to drive with her 2-year-old nephew Bebo playing the drums in the back seat. “
