Rock Gods #70: Adventures in Our Little Music Scene

HoodNi, the famed national rapper (we know our readership; many of you who follow the most obscure white indie bands and have a passing familiarity with nearly all Top 40 artists still require a qualifier like “famed national” when it comes to rappers. Work on that, will you?) is, according to the tabloids, engaged to a woman who comes from this very city. He’s been visiting often, and because the occasions are longterm romantic, he’s apparently been traveling sans posse. Since he’s traveling light, and since this is the sort of scene that tends not to fawn over celebrities, HoodNi seems to feel free to step out on the town with relative freedom. He’s been spotted at D’ollaire’s (in the “VIP area,” but still…), at such diverse eateries as the Varsity Diner, Vaud’s Vegetarian and Ville Europa Ristorante. Those who’ve had exchanges with the reportedly clean-living “Metamorphosis” hitmaker describe him as “a regular guy”—in love….
