Last Friday Nite's KMEL House of Soul concert in San Francisco was gearing up to be the show of shows. The bill which featured popular artists like Jimmy Cozier, Tamia, Case and Erick Sermon sold out in less then 40 minutes when tickets went on sale last month. One of the starts people hoped to see most was Lil Mo who has been paying serious dues over the years and as of late has been doing superb back ground vocals for everyone ranging from the late 2Pac to Ja Rule with his hit songs 'I Cry' and 'Put It On Me'.. Lil Mo herself has released a few cuts herself like 'Superwoman' that have gotten people to fall in love with her..

Last Friday Lil Mo did not disappoint.. She hit the stage and put on an incredible performance including an encore accapella version of 'Put It One Me'..The crowd went nuts and throngs of fans went to the backstage door in an attempt to meet her.. As Lil Mo was leaving she stopped and chatted to some of her fans as she was getting ready to enter into her limo which was only 7 steps from the back stage door..As she chatted some playa hatin' coward lobbbed a bottle at her which left Lil Mo dazed on the ground and blood streaming from a badly cut face..Some of Lil Mo's people gave chase, but homeboy was way to fast.. In the meantime Mo had to be taken for the hospital..At the time of this article, there was new prognosis onher condition.. It left her and her fans who witnessed the assault-traumatized.. Many are looking for the assailant as we speak... What made this whole thing even more messed up was the fact that a police officer was standing several feet away when the attack took place.. Thats how brazen the attacker was. The officer did not participate in the foot chase. He just took a report. The other thing was the attacker did not appear to be a 'tweaker' which is what that particular area is known for.. He was a regular everyday type of cat who decided to do something cruel.. We wish Lil Mo a speedy recovery and hope that she will return to the Bay Area for future performances..

As for the rest of the House of Soul Show, the audience was left speechless and ecstatic when Erick Sermon took the stage.. Joining him was special guest Parrish..his long time partner.. Yep, cats were treated to an imprompti performnce from EPMD.. It was their first trip to the Bay as a dual in almost 10 years.. The crowd loved it as they ripped through all their hits ranging from 'You Gots To Chill' to 'Crossover'... In fact when they performaned Crossover, Sermon noted to the crowd that was the last song the dual had performed in the Bay Area..back in '92. The crowd went into a frenzy when Sermon did his song 'Music' which features vocals from the late Marvin Gaye..
