Hip hop clubs in Philly?

Any good Hip Hop clubs in River North??

• Am goin to Chicago next weekend (staying close to Chicago Avenue and La Salle; in River North) with a few friends. I've checked out a few websites for the bars and clubs, and although many seem like upscale clubs that play House/Trance which require a particular attire or to be on the guestlist. Just wondering if there are any good/decent clubs that play Hip Hop (or a good variety) in that area. Although we will be visiting some of the other bars/clubs and have already RSVP, wanted to have a back-up plan in case we don't dig them. I'm Hispanic, my wife is African-American and a few friends that are going are Caucasian... so yeah, looking for something with diversity... I'd hate to go all the way to Chi-town and get neglected for not having a membership to one of their better clubs... if I need to get out of that part of town, we may consider. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
