It was Mayor Taveras who first declared September to be the Month of Peace in Providence, but the idea stuck and now the Met’s hosting RI Peace Fest 6, an all-ages showcase with performances by a dozen of the state’s biggest hip-hop artists, all of whom will be backed by a live band. At least three Dorrys nominees will be on hand – rappers Jon Hope and Medusah Black are both up for awards, as is the DJ known as Music Please. Other performers include Chachi, Swann Notty, Project 401, Cru Alxndr, and Rudy Rudacious.
