    What's everyone up to this Thursday the 28th? No plans? Well guess what? You're going to Alhambra Palace Restaurant for Toyota's Yaris vs Yaris event. If you're heavy into hip and rap like I am, then this is the joint for you. I work with Toyota, and we're showcasing amateur DJs and sneaker artists, as they battle it out for the most highest of respects. TONS of music, prizes, and hip hop heavyweights will be on hand for this night which promises to be the hottest night of the summer, foreal son. Best of all, it's free, so head on over to http://www.yarisversusyaris.com to RSVP
