On August 22nd at The Bench, there is a large scale hip hop benefit show going down. Admission is only $10 and it gets you access to almost every good local hip hop artist in ATL plus Bonecrusher, Akil from Jurassic 5, and some wack fools. Theres also gonna be battles for every element. Lets see if they can pull this off. Here's the flyer:
On September 3rd at the 529, Solillaquists of Sound are doing a show with Lee Harvey Oswald. I haven't found a flyer for this yet.
On September 19th, Goodie Mob reunion at the Masquerade Music Park. This is going to be crazy!!!! All 4 members will be there along with other Dungeon Fam. Hopefully Witchdoctor will stay home.
On October 1-3 it's the A3C Hip Festival. This year it's taking over EVERY VENUE in East Atlanta. Confirmed artists include B.O.B., Rakim, and People Under the Stairs.
This past Friday at the Masquerade, De La Soul brought out Phife and Jarobi (aka The Other Half) from A Tribe Called Quest to perform w/ them. Phife and Jarobi mentioned that they might be dropping an album together sometime in the next 2 years.
This Thursday, June 18th @ Apache Cafe, it's Mr. S.O.S.'s album release party. The event is completely FREE and features performances from Chapter 13, Cashmere the Pro, and Deacon and Kno from Cunninlynguists. The absence of Natti from the Cunninlyguists line-up (plus the presence of S.O.S.) can only mean one thing: Lots of tracks from "SouthernUnderground". Sounds great.
Then on Friday @ the Apache Cafe, Devin the Dude is performing. Come equipped with blunts, you might even get a free Devin the Dude ash tray. Unfortunately this one's twenty bucks.
This ones not quite hip hop, but close enough. Noot D' Noot is having their album release part at the Earl on Saturday the 20th. Their new recordings are supposed to sound more like their live show than last year's 'Goofer Dust'.
Sunday at The Bench is the 2nd annual Indie Hip Hop Fest. The line-up is pretty fuckin' weak. B.O.B. headlines, Mickey Factz will be there, Stacy Epps, I think I saw Newberry Jam w/ Catalyst and Ty-vicious in a 2 point font at the bottom of the flyer. Besides them, it's all a bunch of trendy swag 'hipster' rappers. I'll probably miss this one.
On Tuesday the 23rd at Cenci, DJ Dug Boogie and Floyd the Locsmif will be spinning and it's free for everyone. I saw these guys DJing together at the J-Live show and they held it down somethin serious. There will also be give-aways from Frank 151 of the new Grand Puba and U-God albums.
Friday June 26th at the Foriegn Exchange Cafe in the west end, Sadat X (from Brand Nubian) will be performing live with Clan Destined, Jawz of Life and more.
On July 10, Catalyst and Ty-vicious are having a record release party at the 529 with Newberry Jam and DJ Slim Chance. It costs $7 to get in, and you get a free copy of the album with admission.
I've heard some rumors about some upcoming shows including Tanya Morgan and The Bush Babies shows. I'll keep you posted.
Oh and I almost forgot.
EDAN is coming to the Apache Cafe on August 1st. OH SHIT!
Camp Lo is performing at Cenci on Friday. They've got a bunch of fresh local acts on the bill too. Binkis Recs, Senor Kaos, Catalyst and Ty-vicious, Stanza and a bunch of DJs. Should be a best bet.
What a week it has been... The hip hop continues for the next few weeks too.
Today at the Bench, daytime bbq type-deal w/ Binkis, Stahhr, The Regime (KP, Jawz, Rec, Snub and Shred), Broady, Mojo, and bunch of others and DJs. It's only one dollar.
Thursday, also at the Bench. One Be Lo, Stahhr, Catalyst and Ty-vicious will be performing. There will also be a beat battle putting New Orleans producers against Atliens.
Next Friday, June 5th at Cenci, Camp Lo, Binkis Recs, Senor Kaos and a bunch more. It's $10.
