On January 19th, BDR is hosting the Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball featuring T.I., LLCool J and Jeezy:

Russell Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Valeisha Butterfield and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) have partnered with Heineken and Myspace Music to sponsor the Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball. Simmons HSAN is hosting the star-studded black tie gala, in honor of President-elect Barack Obamas historic inauguration.

Superstars T.I., Young Jeezy, and LL Cool J will co-host the event with Russell Simmons, who emphasized the importance of young adults voting power in Obamas 2008 run. The Hip-Hop Inaugural Ball will be a fantastic gala and upscale party in celebration of Barack Obama being inaugurated President of the United States, Simmons explained. We are also recognizing the outstanding contributions of T.I., LL Cool J, and Young Jeezy in helping turn out the largest young adult vote in history.

Given that this is a Russell Simmons joint, we dont expect any thuggery to go down. Fortunately, Bossip will be there to cover the event, so stay tuned for a full report of all the action.
