While it’s been less than a week since our collective freakout over winter storms named Hercules and vortexes that are polar in nature, many people in the island nation of the Philippines are struggling to put their lives together in the two months since Typhoon Haiyan (otherwise known as Yolanda). Though it’s far from many people’s minds, some Bushwick community members are doing their best to fund relief efforts. This past Sunday, The Relief, Rebuild, Remember fundraiser at The Paper Box saw a diverse mix of Filipino emcees, spoken word artists, award-winning DJs, and bonafide hip-hop legends.
