MikeMid-York Weekly/USA TODAY NETWORKThe hip hop of New York City-based Miranda Writes continues the free, family-friendly outdoor concerts Monday, Aug. 15 as the Levitt AMP Utica Music Series returns to Kopernik Park in downtown Utica. "I'd like concertgoers to take any preconceived notions they have about a hip hop concert and leave them at the door," Writes encouraged. "I am so excited to share the cultural/fun elements of hip hop with the community of Utica, all while diving into every other genre. In Forbes magazine this past January, Writes was celebrated as a Burton Snowboards Ambassador and the first biracial female hip hop artist to cross over into the snowboarding market.
