The I-R-M Crew — the first Twin Cities hip-hop group to release an album in the mid-1980s — reunites for a performance Friday night at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

Sean McPherson with MPR's sister station The Current says the history of hip-hop in Minnesota begins with the I-R-M Crew, and while they never hit the big time, the music pioneers have stayed close over the years.
