"First of all, fuck Bush, that's the all, that's the end of it." With the first line of his latest CD, Audition, Minnesota's P.O.S. wastes no time putting on his verbal brass knuckles, and everything he brings to the hip-hop game on this impressive LP is what both mainstream and backpacking rappers have lacked for far too long.

Get closer on Saturday, when P.O.S. brings an indie-hop all-star crew to Hailey's that includes fellow Doomtree man SIMS and local master blaster Mes the Jive Turkey.
